Aliens! The King! Two headed squirrels! Oh boy, oh boy!

Ahh, the memorable Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders.

I spent so much time with this game back when I still had my old Amiga. The game was very hard, but still so rewarding when I finally managed to complete it.

The intro theme was catchy, I used to hum it all the time. Also some other funny thigns I remember about it, Eddie Van Halen's guitar in the shop, the two-headed squirrel and the bread that was rock-hard.

Also the National Inquisitor newspaper that came with the game was awesome. So much funny material in it.

The most exciting feature was the blue crystal..... loved that.

I must try that game, but the story line sounds boring (Is it??).

RLacey · 11-29-2005, 05:49 AM

I loved what I played of this game, but gave up after reaching the tenth maze

Heh the storyline is far from boring

I say that, but if the game was made today, it would probably flop. Today's games are under much harder ridicule. Which is a good thing.

What was the story with the two-headed squirrel? I

Spoiler:
gave it peanuts

at that cave at the beginning, and never saw it again afterwards. Yet, I often see people referring to it as if it were an important running gag in the game or something. Have I missed something?

Spoiler:
It makes its appearance only in that one scene AFAICR...... though killing it with a butter knife (yes, you can do that! ) was obviously so much fun that people remember it to this very day. There had also been an article in the newspaper provided with the game.

But killing animals was bad karma for Zak!
