But with Zak - why not? He’s only a tabloid newspaper journalist, so being horrible to people to get his way should be second nature. It’s fondly remembered because it requires Zak to do the most awful things, perhaps, hitting just the right spot of meanness some teenaged boys might love to perform in their minds but never have the courage to actually do. Perhaps if several friends huddled together for days on end, faces red and tears leaking down their cheeks, bits and pieces could be figured out by endlessly clicking on the craziest combinations of things to try and proceed in the game.įor example - take the much beloved airplane scene in the early part of the game. How one might have played this game in 1989 without an internet connection is hard to imagine today. And, like many text adventures before it, they decided to make it painfully obtuse in every nook and cranny. It’s as if they took MM and tried to make an entire world for it. The look and feel is very similar to Maniac Mansion (MM), which takes place entirely in a very large house (a.k.a. Regardless, the scope of the game is ridiculously vast. When the Monkey Island and Indy adventures from Lucasfilm are released in future years on the Amiga, we are left to wonder what could have been had they started with the Amiga rather than its older brother the C64. So, on that end, Zak is slightly disappointing from an artistic and technical standpoint on the Amiga. Originally created on the Commodore 64 then later ported to various platforms, most conversions didn’t deviate far from the C64’s capabilities. Ever hear about the “face on Mars”? It’s here, too, along the the alien Greys and Men in Black. It was created by the talented people of Lucasfilm Games in San Rafael, California, co-designed by Ron Gilbert and David Fox, and injected with tons of creativity, humor, interesting characters and a pretty solid if bizarre sci-fi story line.įollowing on the heels of the brilliant Maniac Mansion graphic adventure, Zak McKraken takes players on a seriously strange and long trip: from San Francisco to Seattle to a dozen other locations, including Mars! It very much feels like a spoof on the UFO paranoid X-Files types, except the X-Files hadn’t been invented yet (the UFO paranoid types had, of course).
