#16763: feature request: SCUMM: DOTT: Replicate Mac version interaction with Maniac
Mansion
--------------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter:  eisnerguy1           |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  feature request      |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal               |  Component:  Engine: SCUMM
 Version:                       |   Keywords:  DOTT, MANIAC
    Game:  Day of the Tentacle  |
--------------------------------+---------------------------
 Normally, to access Maniac Mansion, within the Macintosh version of Day of
 the Tentacle, a player would interact with the computer in Ed Edison's
 room 5 times.

 The MacGUI is still present when Maniac Mansion is accessed. This includes
 the Save/Load system, Preferences, etc.

 This video shows what I'm talking about:

 But, with ScummVM, the Maniac Mansion files need to be extracted from the
 "Day of the Tentacle Data" file, added into a maniac sub-folder, and then
 added as a separate game entry in ScummVM.

 If added as a separate game entry, Maniac Mansion loses those MacGUI
 features and acts like the normal DOS v1 version of Maniac Mansion. This
 extends to ScummVM outright quitting versus being brought right back to Ed
 Edison's room in Day of the Tentacle.

 If ScummVM can read/recognize the files within "Day of the Tentacle Data"
 to load Day of the Tentacle, is there any way that it could load/recognize
 the Maniac Mansion files too?

 This way, it could preserve/replicate the way the Macintosh original loads
 Maniac Mansion.
