Description

Zak McKracken is a tabloid reporter (and not a very good one at that). Based upon a psychadelic dream, Zak one day realizes that something is wrong -- Space Aliens are dumbifying the general public through the telephone system. Zak must stop this, but he can't do it alone. After finding a magic crystal (or some sort of crystal), Zak manages to get the help of Anthropologist, Annie, and her friends, Melissa and Leslie. Between the four characters (all of which you control), you can destroy the dumbifying devices and save the earth. Not too bad for a tabloid reporter.

Trivia

There is another Maniac Mansion reference in the game: If you read the telephone inside the The Phone Company's office, it will read a four digit telephone number. If you phone it from Zak's house, you can phone the sales representative. He will think that it is Edna again. If you leave your phone off the hook, the sales representative will keep talking, allowing you to enter the secret room to obtain your stolen items if you don't have your hat and nose & glasses.
