All of the mansions on this board were independently developed, and I agree with you - it would be great to see it and the others updated. All of them worked in the previous version of MM which worked in Snow Leopard and earlier. Unfortunately, Lion broke the original game because the game depended on Rosetta. So, although it could play all the mansions, the game itself wouldn't work in Lion. If you haven't upgraded to Lion yet, then you can still play the older version, and use the mansion editor.
Depending on how successful Vern is with making the game playable on more platforms so that he can increase the user base, you may be seeing more custom mansions, and other games, but there's a lot of time and effort involved.
Fortunately, the majority of the games converted cleanly. After the upcoming holidays, I'm planning on talking to some of the other designers whose games haven't been converted to see what we can do to get more converted over.
