Maniac Mansion was never released for the macintosh. However it is included in [[Day_of_the_Tentacle|Day of the Tentacle]]. If you have the macintosh version of [[Day_of_the_Tentacle|Day of the Tentacle]] you will need to extract the *.LFL files from the ''Day of the Tentacle Data'' file using '[[User_Manual/Appendix:_Tools#extract_scumm_mac|extract_scumm_mac]]'. When you point ScummVM to the directory with all the extracted files it will propose you to either add [[Day_of_the_Tentacle|Day of the Tentacle]] or Maniac Mansion. The English version is the V1 DOS version while non-English versions are V2 DOS.
