I love Maniac Mansion. Are there any good games similar to it? And what system(s) are they on? The only games similar to MM (abreviation for Maniac Mansion, not just Mega Man) I can think of are Hugo's House of Horror, Nightshade, and Day of the Tentacle.

I was going to suggest Hugo, so I guess I don't know of any others. :P

I saw screenshots of "Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbusters" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" for the PC. They look like they play like Maniac Mansion a little bit.

BTW, can someone tell me if the games we've listed are any good? They are:

-Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbusters
-Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
-Hugo's House of Horrors
-Day of the Tentacle
-Monkey Island (1 through 4)
-Grim Fandango

Also, do these require like a certain OS to play these games?

I've only played Day of the Tentacle. It's alright, you get to do some weird things and screw with history (change the shape of the American flag, ya know, stuff like that.) and stop the over throwing of humans by tentacles. I'm not really into those kinds of games, but hey it was interesting enough to get me to play through the entire game. It's and old game and my old computer was able to play it just fine, but I can't remember if there where any special system requirements.
