Anecdotes
The game came with a copy-resistant red booklet that contained Exit-Visa-Codes. When at the airport, the player was asked to enter a specific code. If the incorrect code is entered, Zak lands in a prison cell and the player is advised to buy a legitimate copy of the game. This anti-piracy measure was removed in later releases.

If you liked "Maniac Mansion"...

...This is a must. This game was never released in Spain so I wasn't able to play it until very recently with both the original 1987 version and the recent FmTowns 256 colors version (not flawless, though...).

Well, "Zak McKracken..." is not as great as, yes, "Maniac Mansion" and later LucasArts adventures like the "Monkey Island" series, but it contains the same semi-surreal humor, a nice music (the main theme can be heard in "Maniac Mansion", by the way) and well, let's say that its plot is far from being your average one...

Zak McKracken, profession reporter, has a strange dream containing aliens and a beautiful woman. When he's assigned to a work regarding the appearance of a two-headed squirrel in Washington he notices that something is wrong with the world. He finds a mysterious crystal, the woman from his dream (named Annie) and, well, news say that people are becoming idiots because of their phones... And so on...

The game is not perfect, its gameplay system is sometimes annoying (something that happened too in "Maniac Mansion", whose system is identical) and its difficulty is a little hard, but if you love LucasArts games you MUST play (and finish) "Zak McKracken...".

If only for the in-jokes...
