The bad words we removed [...] the baddest bad word is Kill. The central activity in most Nintendo games is killing things. The image and the act are good, but the word is bad [...]
Nintendo: Please ammend [sic] the following: "For a good time EDNA 3444"
Obviously, you can't have a good time in a Nintendo cartridge.
Nintendo: There is also a reference at the end of the game to an "NES Scumm System" that we're not sure we understand. Please advise as to the meaning of this reference.
In the credits, which are shown after the conclusion of the game, there are two occurrences of the word Scumm, which stands for Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion. Scumm is the story game development system which was used to produce Maniac. They understood, and asked "What is NES SCUMM?" That is the version of Scumm that we did for the Nintendo. "Yeah, but it says NES SCUMM. What will people think?"
I don't know what people will think. And we will never know what people will think. I took it out.
Mouarf par moments, mais triste aussi.
