In a surprise move, it appears that classic point and click PC adventure Maniac Mansion has been released on Steam in its own standalone release for the first time ever.
The game, which was the prequel to Day of the Tentacle, first came out in 1987 but has never actually been available on the Steam service or for direct download officially by itself until now. It is however included in its entirety on the recent Day of the Tentacle Remastered release that came out last year.
Still, if you want to play it without having to boot up that game or are just looking for a hit of 1987 nostalgia (and to be fair, it’s still a pretty good game if you can get past the old-school feel) of one of Ron Gilbert of Thimbleweed Park & Monkey Island fame’s earliest games, then it’ll currently set you back £3.20 on Steam until January 4, at which point it’ll go to its regular price of £4.79
