Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders

I played this game when I was just a kid. These screenshots looked way too advanced for what I remembered it to be but then I realized that I had played it on my trusty Commodore 64 back in the day. Obviously my quick review is full of nostalgia so I can't guarantee you'll love it today. It was a fun game that was out there enough but engaging at the same time. As a kid I sometimes struggled with some of the puzzles as they aren't always completely logical. Certain interactions aren't what you expect but there were multiple ways to solve certain problems. Needless to say, I can't wait to fire this up again and take a trip down memory lane. This was one of the first games I was "hooked" on as a kid and it'll be a blast to fire it back up. For the price, it is definitely worth trying out.

Humor is always essential in these games, ZM entertains. The cinematic production gave this game such an epic feel. Music is excellent, characters fun. The point and click buttons (pick up, open, etc.) is just too slow. Monkey Island occasionally address this by having default actions happen on click but ZM you're going to have to click half a dozen times just to open a drawer.

haven't finished yet but the story is interesting. very nice retro game. Sometimes it's a bit difficult to find the right command exactly right place to click (e.g. ' use remote on tv' isn't correct but 'use remote on infrared eye' is), or doubleclick 'use' to just use something. Overal worthwile game :)

A good little game from way back, never got to finish back then so trying again. Enjoying the enhanced graphics. Making a few mistakes, but will eventually get it.

Cool graphics, good story. Feeling back to the 80s
