I would like to, but September promises to be a hell of a month for me! Consider also that I’m more than 800 km far from there… I was planning to come with a bus that goes straight from Naples to Udine (the biggest near city, a few kilometers from there) travelling during night to be there on friday morning. But this means to me I have to move on thursday (very difficult!) But the event that interests me more is on Friday (David’s speech). I’m a little bit puzzled, and I don’t want to book a reservation if I can’t make it. Probably in a couple of weeks I’ll be able to tell with certainty. ---

I can’t come (too far) but it would be cool if someone takes some pictures to post them or even a video (maybe even of the trip). When Zak2 between time and space was release some guys made a video of their trip to the party I Cologne in Germany. It was nice to watch their excitement. Of course they had their “Nasenbrillen” ready just in case 🙂 ---

@David Every time I think of Zak, I smell the scent of roast chicken. Allow me some time to explain. 😛 I picture myself as a 13 years old unpacking a colorful box I had just retreived from the local post office near our summer home. I unwrapped the package, I started to examine the back cover, I saw you and Matt, I examined the in game screens and… I smelled it. Turns out I was right outside the deli where my mother was buying what was needed for lunch. They were roasting chickens, and the scent got out through a vent I was under. I was mesmerized by the game when two hours later I put the floppies in my 1541 drive and ran the game on my C64. And yet, above all… that scent has been imprinted in my memory of Zak. Some days ago I was in the same little town. Guess what, the deli is still there and still roasts chickens in the same place. I am 41 now. Passing under that vent, I smelled the scent again and I went “Oh my God, Zak…” 😃 Without even thinking. Ok, I don’t know if you’ll be able to use such a delirious memory, but I had to be sincere and spill the beans. EDIT: Do you think it will be possible to meet you briefly in Rome before you take off? I am afraid I won’t be able to attend the event… ---

@Daniele82 has made a short game (using AGS) to tell the story of the broom alien in Zak McKracken. You can download it and play it (PC Windows only). This is his first experiment in making a game, he’s a newbie at programming in general, but his goal was to tell a short story. The game will be played at Cervignano Film Festival, after David’s speech.
