If the title to this post doesn't immediately make your toes tingle with anticipation, you clearly didn't spend enough days of your youth in front of a crappy EGA display trying to figure out the often reasonless riddles of Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. Oh, the days spent with my siblings trying to figure out how to use the Tibetan monk to find our way out of the aiport into Miami which was permanently labeled "closed for repairs."

This morning I disovered via digg that a fan has made a freeware sequel called Zak McKracken Between Time & Space. The screenshots look great at least when you're not too close to the protagonist's face (hey, it's freeware after all). I can't wait until they get around to releasing an English version as it's currently only in German. And, I've got my fingers crossed that the translator is not the same person who translated the website. Anyway, hopefully it's as frustratingly addictive as the original.
