Comment (by dwatteau):

 Ah, that's something on my todo-list as well...

 And if we fix that, we might as well restore this original behavior from
 the Macintosh interpreter (maybe the UI/UX Enhancement setting should
 disable the 5-click requirement, dunno)

 per http://www.faqs.org/faqs/macintosh/games-faq/:

 Subject: 14. How do I play the game Maniac Mansion from within Day of
              the Tentacle?

 Go to Big Ed's room and use the computer there >>5 times in a row<< to
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 play Maniac Mansion.

 Why is it so difficult to find in the Mac version?  According to Aaron
 Giles, "Since Maniac Mansion had never been ported to the Mac before,
 and since we were on a fairly tight schedule for Day of the Tentacle and
 wanted to concentrate our testing on the primary game, we compromised by
 still including it, but making it a bit more of an easter egg than it was
 in the DOS version."
 }}}

 Since the game scripts are completely identical to the ones from the DOS
 release, I guess the 5-click requirement was hardcoded in the interpreter;
 hence why ScummVM currently doesn't replicate it in the Macintosh release.
