Space Aliens have built a stupidity machine that's slowly reducing everyone's IQ to single digits. Worse yet, the only person who can stop them is Zak McKracken, reporter for the disreputable National Inquisitor, who dreams up stories about carnivorous cantaloupes and vegetarian vampires.

Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders is a true classic of the adventure game genre. Of course, it doesn't quite meet today's standards in terms of graphics, mechanics, or gameplay depth. Some of the puzzles require absurdly obscure solutions that can leave even the most seasoned players scratching their heads. However, it's exactly this quirky, sometimes frustrating challenge that gives the game its unique charm. The game's humor, eccentric characters, and nostalgic 80s vibe make it an unforgettable experience. While it may be tough to get through some of the more obscure parts, there’s something special about the way it immerses you in its bizarre world. It's a perfect journey for anyone looking to relive the golden (or beginning) age of point-and-click adventure games!
Wer Retro Spiele mag ist mit diesem spiel gut bedient. Lucasfilm Games sind irgendwie Kult
Meine Güte wie viel Liebe, Detailtreue und Hirnschmalz die Entwickler in dieses Spiel gesteckt haben. Ich habe jede einzelne Minute der Erinnerungen an meine Jugend genossen. Ich frage mich zwar ernsthaft, ob es irgendjemand auf der Welt je geschafft hat, dieses Spiel zu schaffen ohne auch nur einmal auf die Lösung zu schauen (unfassbar schwierig), aber das Spiel ansich ist genial. DANKE!
Zak McKracken non ha davvero bisogno di recensioni: per chi lo ha giocato agli inizi è memoria pura, avventura, pixel, ironia e notti passate davanti allo schermo a cercare la soluzione impossibile. Io ho voluto fare la mia piccola parte: preparare una traduzione italiana, per permettere a chi lo ama di riviverlo oggi un po’ più vicino a come lo ricordava.

<3
haben das Spiel Früher auf dem Amiga 500 gezockt und damit Englisch gelernt. etwas Primitiv in unserer Heutigen zeit aber damals ein Echter Meilenstein. Viel Spaß
Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders . A nice old-fashioned quest from 90s, a lot of jokes, absurd puzzle solutions and fart music. . Controls: Mouse control You should choose one of the actions (push, pull, give, open, close, read, walk to, pick up, what is, put on, take off, use, turn on, turn off) and then click on an item with which you want to perform. F5 - menu Esc - skip intro Space - pause Alt 0-9 - save Ctrl 0-9 - load Alt + Ctrl Z - exit Alt + Enter - fullscreen
One of the greatest adventures of all time!
