Zak McKracken: Between Time and Space screenshots

The loading screen, looking familiar ? ;)

The development team

The main menu

These are the heads behind this little gem

The, very stilish, intro

The title

Somethinh fishy is going on at this airport (intro)

Zak is back (intro)

Having an ecounter of the third kind

Zak Mckracken, at your service

Damn, they got me

later ...

What a cute pyjama

Difficulty selection

The game is full of details and allusions ( notice Chuck, the plant and the Maniac Mansion poster )

Zak has now a diary, to keep him informed and focused

Zaks living room

Just the usual crap on the telly

His kitchen, the oven desperatly needs some cleaning

An intermezzo on the alien ship

Looks familiar, doesn't it?

Zak recieved a postcard from Annie, guess she is not around

The development team even has a store inside the game

Different dialog options are available

Inside the "Artificial hair bros" shop. This charming fellow is called STANislav and has descended from a family of merchants, that started its business by selling used ships in the Caribbean

Murray, the skull has an cameo appearance

The save screen becomes available by pressing F5. Nice!

Zak actually wanted to go to Waikiki and ask Annie some uncomfortable questions. But this newspaper...

...makes him take a "detour" to Mexico first.

The scout camp in the jungle...

On the top of the Mexican pyramid.

The temple to Tezcatlipoca. Ugh, I don't know: was there really such a deity or is it exclusively a nod to "Broken Sword 2"?

The airport in Waikiki. Generally, the airports look a little better than in "Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders", but still mostly boring.

Most cutscenes are unfortunately in 3D. This one looks rather pleasant anyway, I like views of shimmering water.

A beautiful view of Paris.

Zak's diary entry (by the way, his diary looks very cute and girly ;)) with some Easter eggs.

That's the advantage of fan games: Sierra or Lucas Arts rather limited themselves to hinting to their own games, fan games allude to everything!

Looking for the scientist in Scotland. After his work was disrupted, he's just sitting here and fishing...

Zak sees his creators on the TV...

The Caponians have taken over this house and some greenhouses in Switzerland and are using them to breed monster plants!

The evil Caponians' laboratory...

...and the upper floor of the house, where their Evil Conspiracy Plans are kept.

The King's bedroom. Zak uses very childish means to make him fall into a deeper sleep, including a pacifier. ;)

The Caponians' ray cannon - and another very fun Easter egg. Nope, you can't wake Roger up or talk to him - what a pity...

The purple crystal (and some Loca Cola; I have indeed heard a cola drink being jokingly referred to as "rust remover" ;)) allows repairing the time travel machine.

Travelling to the future - on the right is Zak himself being eaten by a monster plant! Does it count as "meeting yourself during time travel"?

Travelling to the past - a picturesque rural area, before the Caponians came there...

As in "Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders", Zak uses the blue crystal to temporarily switch consciousness with a bird.

Preparing a poison for the monster plant in the laboratory...

...the others are destroyed in this big KABOOM! Actually, bigger than Zak had expected, he almost killed himself in the process...
