Selected comments from the author:
I was working hard trying various ways to perfect Maniac Mansion with the meteor police route (best attempt was 9:40), when I discovered a glitch that made the route obsolete. :-) :-(

There is a well-known glitch in the game that can paralyze Edna while a kid is in her room. The programmers tried to prevent this glitch from working on Purple Tentacle. However, Arc demonstrates an oversight by the programmers.

There was no time for the hamster in this route, so Arc also included a different movie that completes the game in 10:06 and has the hamster scenes - nuking it in the microwave and also giving it back to Ed. You can download it here (FMV only).

This game has crazy music.
