Description
Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders is the ultimate adventure game for conspiracy theorists and alien enthusiasts alike! Players take on the role of Zak McKracken, an investigative journalist, as he uncovers a plot by alien beings to control the minds of humanity. The game features graphics that look like they were drawn by a six-year-old with a box of crayons, but don't be fooled, the storyline is more twisted than a pretzel.
The gameplay is a mix of puzzle-solving and point-and-click adventure, it's like playing a choose your own adventure book but with the added challenge of figuring out how to use a can of soda to open a locked door. The game also features a cast of characters that are more eccentric than a clown at a funeral, from a rock star who is also a psychic to a group of alien-worshipping hippies.
The game's soundtrack is a mix of 80's synth-pop and elevator music, it's so catchy you'll find yourself humming it in the shower and wondering why your shampoo smells like space.
Overall, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders is a game that's as quirky as a llama wearing a top hat, it's a wild ride filled with aliens, mind control, and a lot of wacky puzzles. It's a perfect way to spend your time if you're looking for a game that's equal parts funny, challenging and weird.

This is a CLASSIC C64 game! I believe it pre-dates Maniac Mansion and has that same fun balance of humor and puzzle-solving. 5/5! |
