The chainsaw was filled with the gas of course. 
(It doesn’t happen anything: The game refuses to load the save file.)

Then I waited about 27 years and found the chainsaw of expectation.

IMPORTANT
I Need the complete English text of Zak McKracken And The Alien Mindbenders, in a text file.
Any version.
Could some of you help me, please?
@Sushi to the rescue?
I know there are scumm extraction tools sone of these guys have, but I don’t have them personally.
I could only provide a disc image but not extraction tools.
Well, scummtr can be easily found on-line. But I assume Zak currently has no access to a PC or his game files?
(Neither do I)
Gotcha. Clearly it will take more than my bag of hexeditors.
@ZakPhoenixMcKracken, how soon do you need it?

Actually it is pretty simple.
Put scummtr.exe in a directory, along with all the games you want to extract. E.g. a sub-directory called “zak”
open up DOS (cmd) window
Scummtr.exe -h or -L or something to get the names of supported games.
Afair, -p zak and -o my.txt and -x to exctract

I can, in a way or another.
Scummtr. ok thank you!
Within Tuesday 7/31.
I currently am in a summer camp with boys and I have limited time.
Well, in my experience it only works with the FM towns version.
If you don’t mind me asking: what do you need it for?
Ok thank you.
Summarizing:
Scummtr.exe -p zak -o my.txt -x
Correct?
For subtitling the Daniele Spadoni’s fan movie that will be shown in September. He asked me the text. Well I can tell him trusting my memory, but there are a lot of scenes and I have only a little time now.

You’ll need some more options, depending on the game… the most important being the correct game id. Something like -g zak_fm (option letter and argument may differ, check the help first)

The correct format is:
scummtr -g zaktowns -p .\ZakFMT\ -o -f zakfmt.txt
(the -p would be the path to your game file)
I will DM you the file that it gave me.

Thank you very much!
I will repay your kindness by recording the David Fox’s speech on September 21, and the exclusive Zak’s party night on September 22!

Let Annie climb down the rope and put her in the machine. Then let Zak use the crystal.

I’ve already done that 
With Someone’s method, I think, but in the opposite order.

Thanks. This game surprises me even after 30 years.
