	The following is based on Van Buren and has not been confirmed by canon sources.

Maniac was Los Alamos Nuclear Testing Facility's resident supercomputer in 2064.

BackgroundEdit

Maniac was never mentioned in text of the Reservation design document; however an pre-War photograph of Dr. Clark and Dr. Sebastian included in the document cites MANIAC as one of their finest colleagues.^[1]

AppearancesEdit

Maniac has not appeared nor is it mentioned in any published game. It may have appeared in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios, but it is not certain as it is only included in a sample picture to help demonstrate two of the characters at the location. It is not certain if it will appear in any future Fallout game.

Behind the scenesEdit

Several real life computers have been called MANIAC (an acronym for Mathematical Analyzer, Numerical Integrator, and Computer or Mathematical Analyzer, Numerator, Integrator, and Computer), two of these were built for the Los Alamos Nuclear Testing Facility.
