Zak McKracken is a tabloid reporter (and not a very good one at that). Based upon a
psychadelic dream, Zak one day realizes that something is wrong - Space Aliens are
dumbifying the general public through the telephone system. Zak must stop this, but
he can't do it alone. After finding a magic crystal (or some sort of crystal), Zak
manages to get the help of Anthropologist, Annie, and her friends, Melissa and Leslie.
Between the four characters (all of which you control), you can destroy the
dumbifying devices and save the earth. Not too bad for a tabloid reporter. It was
the second game to use the SCUMM engine, after Maniac Mansion. There was also an
enhanced version released using improved 320x200 (instead of 160x200) 16-color
graphics and similar sound. |
