About This Game It's 1997, and the world is a dumber place than ever... 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. They've taken over the phone company... Sure, it sounds like another one of Zak's tabloid fantasies. But while most people wouldn't believe him, he finds three who don't need convincing--Annie, Head of the Society of Ancient Wisdom, and her friends, Leslie and Melissa, two Yale coeds who traveled to Mars in their modified van. The four of them must piece together fragments of an ancient puzzle, unmask the aliens, and destroy the stupidity machine. Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders is a classic point-and-click adventure with four controllable characters. Solve puzzles and interact with the crazy world using the old school verb command interface. Go on adventures all across the globe and even into space.

So when it went on sale, I bought it based on pure nostalgia. What a mistake. This kind of point and click adventure did not age well, and probably neither did I, because at this day and age I can't stand clicking on every little spot on the screen just to figure out which objects are interactive or not. Played for less than two hours. Couldn't stomach it anymore, and ended up ruining the rosy idea that I had of the game.If you like the old school adventure games like this one, and don't mind the hassle of the old fashioned SCUMM\u2122 interface, by all means get it. If you're like me and really value your quality of life and don't want to put up with that kind of hassle, move on to newer games.
