Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders playthrough and hints

I got that, I was just looking for a place to get out of this. I´m still wondering that that speed issue comes from.

You are doing it wrong. If you have questions about supercharging your C64 ask Glottis for help, he is a trusted expert in the field of supercharging.

I don´t know if I can get past all his nervous screaming, though.

I’m sure you will get used to it. Who doesn’t like hearing demons screaming?

He must be a jerk then. Did he try lullabies? Demons like those (I’m pretty sure).

I believe it was in fact one of the demons singing “Hush little Baby”.

Question for a friend: What were the big pop-hits you remember on the radio in Italy circa 1988-89?

I remember hearing a lot of the Top Gun soundtrack here around that time.

I don´t think that Take My Breath Away ever went out of rotation.

Time to get this topic back on-topic…

I am playing the FM towns for the first time now, but this is why I prefer playing the C64 version:

Hmm I remember it earlier, 1986/87.
In 88/89, the years of Zak McKracken And The Alien Mindbenders, there was the “Lambada” all the summer, a lot of songs of the new Italian entry Jovanotti… as far as I remember, during those years the pop hits were “Yeke Yeke”, a lot of Michael Jackson (“Smooth Criminal”) and Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Nick Kamen…

Do you want to know only the international hits or even the Italian ones?

Yes :slight_smile:

Now that you mention it, I wonder if Michael was a Zak McKracken fan… :thinking:

Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay?

OK, italian ones (what I remember):

  • Jovanotti - Gimme Five
  • Tullio De Piscopo - Andamento Lento
  • Edoardo Bennato - Viva La Mamma
  • Francesco Salvi - Esatto!
  • Raf - Ti pretendo
  • Lorella Cuccarini - La Notte Vola

Many other famous songs, in the years 87/88/89/90, those were my “golden years”…

You can also play the much better looking enhanced version while being a creep and talking to strangers on a plane:

obvious fake, though… because of the font…

…and because the Talk To verb was introduced only later, with Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade. :wink:
