'''The Manhole''' is a children's game created by [[Cyan Worlds|Cyan]] (now Cyan Worlds). The player opens up a manhole, which reveals a giant beanstalk that can be traversed to visit strange worlds. The CD-ROM version of Manhole the first computer game distributed on CD-ROM. Note that the CD-ROM version (aka The Manhole: CD-ROM Masterpiece Edition) used a different engine than the "New and Enhanced" version (which used MADE). Also, it included QuickTime videos, which are not yet supported by ScummVM. ScummVM only supports the "New and Enhanced" version.

There were three versions of the game released, each one developed with a different game engine:
- The original version (released in 1989), with an unknown engine
- The "New and Enhanced" version (released in 1992), with the MADE engine. This is the only version that ScummVM supports
- The CD-ROM "Masterpiece Edition" (released in 1994), which used a hypercard-like engine, perhaps similar to the one used in Myst. This version includes QuickTime videos as well
