Install-Script & HD-loader © 2001 JOTD

Maniac Mansion is © 1989 Lucasfilm

Features:

- Runs now properly from HD using WHDLoad/KickEmu/KickDOS
- Manual protection removed
- 3 versions supported
- Full use of fast memory
- Gamesaves without OS swaps
- Quit key (F10, or configurable with QUITKEY) anytime
- Convenient install script
- Normal/NewIcon/GlowIcon/Exoticon icons provided
- Docfile and walkthrough included

Notes:

- Game worked almost OK in DOS mode but some gfx may be corrupt depending on your system
  and there were no quit key
- Game worked almost OK using OSEmu but a bug in some gfx lib emulation routine fucked up
  the scrolling to the left (!). Using original graphics library through KickEmu works.

History:

- V1.1: this release. Supports 3 versions (french, german, english). Mouse speed
  increased (requested by some Lucasfilm games users)
- V1.0: initial release. Supports only UK version
  (for other versions, protection is still there)

Requirements:

 The game requires a installed A500 Kickstart 1.3 image.
 The kickstart image must be located in the directory "Devs:Kickstarts" and
 must be named "kick34005.A500". The image can be extracted from a A500 with
 tools like 'GrabKick' or similar which can be found on aminet.
 If the image is of wrong version or altered in any way WHDLoad will quit with
 a appropriate requester.
 Additionally the file "kick34005.A500.RTB" must be installed in the same
 directory as the kickstart image. It can be found in the archive 
 "util/boot/skick343.lha" on aminet.

Thanks to Bert Jahn for writing kickemu.s kickstart interface system.
