 Maniac Mansion Deluxe download @ Game Downloads
Maniac Mansion Deluxe is a superb remake of one of the best adventure games of all time.
I understand how anyone can have his reservations about considering that revolutionary in any way, but that was because this was the first game (at least to my knowledge) that made full use of sarcasm and became one big spoof in itself and not just a regular game with some comedic dialogues and gags.
Everything from the Ed Wood-like plot (mad-scientist, horrible monsters, funky uses of radiation and chemistry, evils from outer space, etc...) to the super stereotyped cartoony characters (the Punk "bad" girl, the nerdy geek, the handsome all-american protagonist, the sensitive girl next door, etc..) to the cheesy dialogues and remarks is exploited to full comedic genius.

 RPGFan Reviews - Maniac Mansion
Maniac Mansion is a sentence-based puzzle game that was originally on the PC but wound up on the Famicom and eventually the NES.
Fortunately, Nintendo never got around to playing with the microwave, missing a classic Maniac Mansion moment that wasn't noticed until after it was too late (of course, I don't approve of this kind of behavior in real life, but in a game, a microwave is just asking to be toyed with).
With wonderful music, a silly and psychotic storyline, a phenomenal amount of replay value, and average graphics (I probably shouldn't have ended on that one), Maniac Mansion is a definite classic that every RPG nut should own.
