Seems I forgot about that after five years 😉

I was going to edit in a joke like “I expect everyone to remember every detail of this five year old thread!” but then the movie I was at started 😅

Ron’s stunned silence is _very_ reassuring…

I’m guessing he’s trolling us.

does anyone have any new thoughts on the idea of a Maniac Mansion remake now that many of us have played Return to Monkey Island?

I would still welcome it.

Put it in the fake world of Thimbleweed Park for all I care, just let me still send a meteor to space while the characters remain ignorant to the truthy truth!

I would love to have this:

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/l2E3DqL5Q6M/hqdefault.jpg "Night of the Meteor Trailer") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2E3DqL5Q6M)

They are (or were?) trying to develop an “enhanced” remake. I like the approach.

If we talk about a sequel, prequel or another part in the series, I would vote for an adventure game with the atmosphere of “Night Of The Meteor”: A film noir horror B-movie game.

Night of the Meteor after a long period of radio silence suddenly posted to their facebook group the other week with a whole slew of updates

holy crap. The beginning of that Night of the Meteor trailer is a parody of Plan 9 From Outer Space. When I was at NYU I shot a remake / reinterpretation of Plan 9 From Outer Space for a camera class, and I literally used the same exact music as in that trailer. I wonder if they saw my clip??? I made it before that posting.

edit edit:  
Apparently not. There is an even older trailer for Night of the Meteor that predates my video. So chalk it up to great minds thinking alike!

I’ve heard Dave Grossman say in a [recent interview](https://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/dave-grossman-podcast/) that Ron was joking when he said that. (But never say never)
