Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders

1.in the beginning in Seattle, if you use the butter knife to dig throgh the dirt in the cave it will get bent. when you get back to sanfransisco, go to lous loans and sell the butter knife. the guy will give you 1500 dollars for it. if you just give him the butter knife not bent, he won't give you very much money.

2. I dont know how many other people have seen this, but I have zak 1 for my Amiga 500 and for my Amiga emulator on my other computer. every time you put on leslie's helmet and take it off, her hair is a different color.

3. go into the phone company and read the payphone, there is a number on it. go back to zak's house, use the telephone, and dial that number. the alien/telephone rep. will answer the phone and say, "Hello? Hello, who's there? Is this Edna again?" if you do not hang up the phone, the rep. will stay on there forever. he will not notice you come into the phone company and he will not notice you go into the back room even if you dont have on the disguise.

4: if you go to a place and come back home there will be a message on your answering machine. after a couple of messages there will be one from Weird Ed from Maniac Mansion. He says something about picking up zak and sandy in the Edsel to go to a monster truck show.

5: in lou's loans: try selling the sell window, buy window, lotto, or anything else in the store and see what Lou says. activate the blue crystal in lou's loans, then sell it. get out of there as fast as you can or just wear the disguise. the alien will take Lou away and put him in the detention chamber.

6: you can kill the two-headed squirrel with the butter knife or the wire cutters. then, when you read the newsstand in the airport it says, "LAST OF THE TWO-HEADED SQUIRREL! BLUGGEONED BY BUMBLING FOOL!"

7: on mars, in the hostel: : when you try to pick up the can of gas, melissa or leslie says "I don't need it. It's for a different game." then melissa/leslie smiles.

David Fox himself said: fun stuff when Zak was mind linking with animals... especially the Yak in Katmandu. I'm not sure how many people went beyond the first 10-20 "chew" commands to see what else came up in the verb set, though :-) Finally, the best interview with David Fox is at http://home.nikocity.de/claret/Int_Dave.htm
