Had some fun playing around with Zak McKracken's DOS V2 EGA sprite to give him some of the bling from his FM Towns design. #zakmckracken#lucasarts#lucasfilmgames#adventuregames
The FM Towns port also lit up the entire Mars maze, so you no longer need the flashlight for it. #zakmckracken#lucasarts#lucasfilmgames#adventuregames

And now the back of Zak McKracken box. On the left is the LRG edition, and on the right the original box. The newsprint color is different, as are the screenshots. And the subtitle is more visible. 🧵 3/ #ZakMcKracken#LucasfilmGames#RetroGaming#BigBoxGames#AdventureGame#PointAndClick
6 months after everyone else, I finally got my copies of Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken! 🤗 I had to contact Limited Run Games support several times to find out what was going on… I don't dare open the boxes 😅 🧵 1/ #ManiacMansion#ZakMcKracken#LucasfilmGames#BigBoxGames#RetroGaming
If you play around with this, you can have two Zaks standing side by side in Mexico! #zakmckracken#lucasfilmgames#lucasarts#adventuregames
Also, in DOS V2, when you're outside the Mayan pyramid as Annie, her tiny sprite uses Zak's sprite instead for some reason. This error isn't present in the C64/DOS V1 versions, or in the FM Towns release. #zakmckracken#lucasarts#lucasfilmgames#adventuregames
After some testing, I found this bug is in both the Commodore 64 and DOS V1 versions. But it was fixed in the enhanced DOS V2 & the FM Towns versions (and presumably the Atari & Amiga releases too)! #zakmckracken#lucasarts#adventuregames#lucasfilmgames
