    I keep trying to remember WHERE Dr. Fred turns the power off. I've even read a walkthrough, and I couldn't find any place. Where/When does Dr. Fred turn the power off?

    Hello,

    this sometimes happens (in this particular case after about 1h and 15minutes). The event begins with a cutscene in
    which Dr. Fred tells Edna that he has some problems with the "Zombie-o-Mat" (at least that what it's called in the
    german version). After this (approx. 5 minutes later) the power is turned of for about 5-6 minutes, which turns off the light in most of the rooms (no meltdown). During this period neither the radio, microwave or the coin-ups are useable...

    The event is mentioned here http://www.textfiles.com/adventure/maniac.txt but I don't know if this can be triggered in some way

    Vorph

    This bug is nice to get fixed before the release. Raising priority for keeping the track.
