This wasnt a request, just one I personally just really wanted to do. Easily one of my all time favorite video games ever was the incredibly weird "Maniac Mansion". Although I grew up playing the 8-bit Nintendo version, it was originally created for the Commodore back in 87'.
The basic story goes that the main character Dave has his girlfriend Sandy kidnapped by an evil mad scientist and taken to the Maniac Mansion. You use Dave and two other friends of your choice from a group of six, each with different abilities. What this meant was that there were quite a few ways you could beat the game depending on what characters you took. Its set up as a point and click mouse based game where you direct the heroes throughout the house accomplishing strange tasks to find Sandy. A few of the more humorous tasks you can do include blowing up a hamster in the microwave and trading demo tapes with a talking green tentacle.
In this image I used the only two female characters you can pick from; Wendy the journalist and Razor the punk rocker. I could never tell if Wendy was supposed to be white or asian as she's gone through quite a few changes in the various versions of the game....
As for this setting; In the game theres a scene where you walk into the bathroom, pull back the shower curtain and find "Cousin Ted", an ancient mummy related to the crazy family living in the house. At some point in the game you're supposed to find the spigot to turn on the shower, causing him to fall and reveal Nurse Edna's phone number on the back wall......
So I guess in this one, Wendy and Razor were both captured by the Green and Purple tentacles and interrogated.....
(And if you want to try the game itself, an independent group of fans did an updated version of the game: http://rapidshare.de/files/23928676/Maniac_Mansion_Deluxe.zip.html)
