The great Ron Gilbert had a sudden attack of nostalgia, and has openly declared his desire to make a revised version of Maniac Mansion. The creator of Monkey Island attended the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco, where he expressed his backward thinking. "I'd love to make a new version of the game.
Not a sequel but a remake, which would have the opportunity to correct mistakes and revise the system of original puzzles. The rights of Maniac Mansion, such as the sequel to Day of the Tentacle, are still in the hands of LucasArts, but Gilbert does not at all impossible to achieve this his little dream.
"But sometimes I wonder if it is right to change what has been and if the game has a real need for these adjustments. It would be like if George Lucas decided to turn back the original Star Wars trilogy, to correct deficiencies." The latest work of Gilbert are represented by two chapters of the series DeathSpank, released last year on PC, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.
He is currently working with Double Fine, a still mysterious project with his friend and colleague Tim Schafer.
