[edit] Summary

Non-free use media rationale – non-free video game screenshot/art for Maniac Mansion
Description	This is a screenshot from Maniac Mansion (C64). Copyright in video game or audio-visual media shown is believed to belong to Lucasfilm Games.
Source	The source work can or could be obtained from Lucasfilm Games
Article	Maniac Mansion
Portion used	A single frame from the video-game/media concerned: because the image is a screenshot, the entire image is needed to place the image in context with relation to the work from which it is sourced ,and to accompany any relevant commentary given in the associated article.
Low resolution?	The screenshot is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original game or media. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on unathourised versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Section. The image is used for identification and clarifcation in the context of critical commentary of the work from which the screenshot is taken. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.The image is placed at the beginning of a section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, a single lo resolution frame, being of comparativly low commerical value.
Replaceable?

Using different image would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
