Watch Out For Fireballs!

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Ron Gilbert achieve critical mass regarding Maniac Mansion. In a first for the show, WOFF! has the creator of a game in to talk about it. Maniac Mansion was foundational for both Gary and Kole, and it was a huge honor to have Ron Gilbert onto the show. If you haven’t played Maniac Mansion, shame on you. It’s an amazing point-and-click adventure game that formed the basis of pretty much everything that followed it. This is an unconventional episode, but we really hope you enjoy it.
