Anybody figured out the Maniac Mansion code yet? I think that might have been the funniest reference in the game, I laughed for a good minute after ruining everything.

there are actually about 7 codes, three of which do nothing special and the other three take you into special game modes. Looking at twitter/tumblr, a number of people have actually found some of them! There's just one they haven't found yet, but I'll wait and see.

One of the obvious ones is 666, which was actually pretty creepy!

EDIT:
69 and 123 lead to gags. I also tried seven-ate-nine, 9000, 9001, and 411?8, to no effect, although the last three may indicate some codes going beyond three digits.

Multiple combinations give "CUTE GUESS" and "WRONG" messages, and you definitely don't want the latter!

I meant to say there are about seven codes. There might be doubles or four digit ones that don't do anything because of a programming oversight (that I'm not going to fix because that keypad was a pain in the rear end...) BUT there is still a set of seven codes. Three just give you a message and don't change the game. The other four give different modes. People on twitter finally got the last one once I gave a hint.

There's still more stuff that is just simply hidden in the code. I want it that way so that anyone that tries to hack/decompile the flash will get little rewards for their efforts.

Shmorky said on his Tumblr that given enough money and time, he would gladly make a game like this but ten times as big.

I'm not going bother asking you guys whether you'd give money to a Shmorky Kickstarter. I'm asking you guys how much money you'd give to a Shmorky Kickstarter.

The Commodore 64 game over for Maniac Mansion. No other version sounds like it. It's so plunky.

I'm really hoping someone else makes one first! I'd love to see people collaborate on finding every secret hidden in the game. Discovery is more fun that way.

my voice is nowhere near that deep. That's from Wario's Woods on the SNES when you get the egg. I don't know why they say breakfast (eggs are for breakfast?)

That one is an original by forums user Scattered Brain. It's called Ballroom Byte and may have been in The 'Tub before.

the music for the third pipe was also hurtdeer/crok. The secret music for the third pipe is by Chinese Tony Danza. The boss battle music is by Probz, who does most of the simple loops you hear in this game as well as the Flash Tub.
