I’m not sure if you’ve heard but there’s an amazing metal cover (yes metal) of Dave’s theme from Maniac Mansion made by die hard fans of yours @LameGenieVGM (who incidentally played and finished Thimbleweed Park first weekend it came out)
Any other tracks you guys would like to hear? They’re a local band to me, I love them dearly, and am a patreon so I can request that sort of thing lol.
I don’t remember this theme or that kids had themes at all - maybe it’s on NES only? Anyway, as for cover version, Zak McKracken would be cool. Part of it are pretty metal already.
I grew up with a C64 and wasn’t familiar with the NES version of MM. In recent years I found out that it has many fans, who love it’s soundtrack. While I can’t get used to Maniac Mansion with music, I like some of the themes.
IMHO Jeff’s theme is great; here it is played by its composer, George Sanger (The Fat Man), & Team Fat:
Me too! I think the silence adds to the suspense in the C64 version. Just the footsteps, grandfather clock ticking, and the occasional door opening sets the tone well.
But this surf-rock version of Jeff’s theme is pretty cool… Thanks for posting!
Great suggestion! I’ll definitely ask. I forgot about his theme lol. My main experience playing MM is via PC (originally on my IBM PCjr) but I did recall the music in the Nintendo version as did Lame Genie obviously.
