The New Adventures of Zak McKracken

Post by Pater Alf »

If you ever wanted to know what happened to ZakMcKracken and his friends after they saved the world, this is your game!

"It could have been such a nice day. Zak's favourite movie is on, most of the work on his novel is done, and Sushi seems to have survived her long stay in the sink quite nicely. Still half asleep, Zak gropes for the mailbox key and wanders down the stairs. Wow, a lot of mail again, he thinks to himself. However, next to the usual advertising for Monolith Burger, this time it also includes a letter from the distant Bogota. Suspecting no evil, Zak opens the envelope. As he reads the first few lines, he loses control of his face..." (AGS Games Homepage)

Good graphics, but unworthy sequel to one of the best Lucasarts adventures ever made. Shallow plot, too many empty locations - seeing your old friends don't make up for it. The only thing giving this game longevity is treading over the locations again and again every time you get a new item. Also has a weird teleporting bug.
