About the game

Space Aliens have built a stupidity machine that's slowly reducing everyone's IQ to single digits. Worse yet, the only person who can stop them is Zak McKracken, reporter for the disreputable National Inquisitor, who dreams up stories about carnivorous cantaloupes and vegetarian vampires.

    A quirky, ambitious adventure that shows both the charm and the rough edges of early LucasArts games. It’s packed with humor, creativity, and that classic point & click spirit, but it’s also very much a product of its time, with more obtuse puzzles and trial-and-error than later entries.
