Synopsis
To Zak McKracken, it's just another day at the office. He's the roving reporter who's scoffed at by his peers. Dreaded by his creditors. And relished by readers of his tabloid sleaze. But one night in bed, Zak McKracken uncovers evidence of an extraterrestrial plot. And unlike all the other "alien conspiracies" his tabloid churns out with regularity, this one's for real!

Very overrated (and I'm not saying this, because it's a graphical game). It starts out very well (absolutely hilarious), but then degenerates into a series of stupid mazes.
A top-adventure game with lots of humor. Only the mazes are a little annoying, but that can be forgiven.
As long as you learn to navigate the mazes (not too difficult), they only make up a tiny fraction of the game. I really think the game has an epic feel to it.
