I wonder what versions will be included, I guess the same as those on GOG?
(Not that it matters, Iā€™m sure we already ā€œownā€ all the versions ever in existence, via one way or another :-)

Let us cross our fingers they wonā€™t use the scan on GOG to print the National Inquisitor :crossed_fingers: :smiley:

To be honest: I wonā€™t buy it. Like the boxes for the other old Lucasfilm games (Loom, Maniac Mansion, ā€¦) this feels like a reprint from a company that would like to make money with it. And it wonā€™t fit into my childhood memories where the Zak box was a smaller one and contained a 5,25 inch floppy disk.

But I would love to complete my collection of the original boxes. (The prices seem to be similar :wink: )

I have to admit: Yes, I donā€™t want it. :smile: Zak is from 1988 and an USB flash drive wonā€™t fit into my head. Where are the DAT and the cash card? They would have made more sense. (And the bread looks ā€œcheapā€ IMHO.)

Itā€™s not supposed to look like a valuable, tasty, soft breadā€¦

Adding cash cards would be a great idea though!

But itā€™s supposed to look like a bread (and not a brown cigar with yellow stripes).

What? No crystals??

It does look rather pixelated in the picture to be honest.

Well, it says it is not shown as 1:1 scale, so perhaps it is an actual loaf of French bread-sized USB stick.

Now Iā€™m curious about the box sizeā€¦

ā€œLet me quickly attach your laptop to my actual-bread-sized-USB-stick to copy some filesā€¦ā€

Well, if they use a larger box, they could add more stuff in it like plush two-headed squirrels, crystals, cowboy hats with holes, a fishbowl, a broom with eyes and a roll of duct tape.

And an actual winning lottery ticket to cover for the costs.

I had one, which I put in my personal Zak McKracken box.

And bought! Itā€™s Zak McKracken, thatā€™s all I need to know, because Iā€™m a fanboy! :slight_smile:
If we canā€™t clobber someone with that bread USB drive Iā€™ll just have to visit my trusted bakery nearby to get help.

Unrelated, but ā€œStellar Messā€ is a Zak McKracken clone you should all play :wink:

I tried the demo and some of the puzzles didnā€™t convince me, plus the dialog was a little long. Maybe I should give the complete game a chance.

I didnā€™t like the demo either, but as soon as you get out of the shop itā€™s amazing!
