I've never heard of an official VGA release of Maniac Mansion. I've only heard of the low-resolution and high-resolution EGA versions for various systems (as well as the Nintendo ports, but those aren't important).

Here are screenshots of every version of Maniac Mansion (except for the Japanese-language Nintendo port, which is not VGA).

If your version doesn't look like any of these, could you please post screenshots of it?

Also, Loom for FM Towns was another unique version. It was a straight CD-ROM 256-color port of the 16-color disk version (with CD music added, but no voices).

The PC CD-ROM, by contrast, has voices but no CD music tracks. Much of the disk version's dialogue and cutscenes, which are preserved in the FM Towns version, are condensed or removed on the PC CD.
