package: game-data-packager
severity: wishlist
version: 41

This means either shipping a symlink in either
Maniac Mansion or DOTT packages.

Which way is best ?

Is this enough, or is some (automatic ?) editing
of .scummvmrc needed.

3.2) Day of the Tentacle notes:
---- --------------------------

At one point in the game, you come across a computer that allows you
to play the original Maniac Mansion as an easter egg. ScummVM supports
this, with a few caveats:

ScummVM will scan your configuration file for a game that's in a
'Maniac' sub-folder of your Day of the Tentacle folder. If you've
copied the data files from the CD version, this should already be the
case but you have to add the game to ScummVM as well.

To return to Day of the Tentacle, press F5 and select "Return to
Launcher".

This means that you could in theory use any game as the easter egg.
Indeed, there is a "secret" configuration setting, "easter_egg", to
override the ID of the game to run. Be aware, though, that not all
games support returning to the launcher, and setting it up to use Day
of the Tentacle itself as the easter egg game is not recommended.
