Mark Eteer is a background character appearing in the first Maniac Mansion.
He is a representative, and perhaps leader, of a company called "3 guys who publish anything" and looks for talented writers, musicians and game designers, his company is at 222 Skyscrapper Way.
Eteer appears when a kid opens the television in the Mansion and sees his ad. The same kid(s) who watched the ad, can type his address on an envelope, in order to send him a sample of their talents. If the kids send him the correct thing, he will send back a reply that will help end the game.
The following things can be sent to him:
- Green Tentacle's demo music tape, given by it to Syd or Razor
- Eteer will be excited by his talent and will send back a contract offer
- Eteer will appreciate the writing talents and send an offer to the Meteor in order to publish his memoirs.
- Syd/Razor's tape
- Like the first case, but will offer a contract to Syd or Razor, which is useless for the game.
- Tentacle Mating Calls tape
- The window of his office will break
- A blank tape
- Will listen nothing and wonder who prankster sent it
- The Meteor's original manuscript
- Will criticise the Meteor's poor writing
- The broken record
