I haven't even played the original...

...yet.

What a nice surprise!

Warning: 3GB download ... for an adventure game.

tero · 13 May 2015, 18:26

This was a nice game.
Does anyone know what has changed in the directors cut? The website doesn't tell.

enhanced graphics, updated controls, widescreen support and professional voiceovers in German, English and French.

@Retro-Nerd & Neil79
Thanks

It seems it has only English voiceover, but nice anyway.
On their FB page it's written that Linux and mac versions are coming soon, even better. I'll wait for that.

3GB worth of game on 880k DSDD floppy.... And a bad sector on the last disk.

quahappy · 13 May 2015, 23:47

I've not been able to download it for the past three hours: Severs busy.

Amiga1992 · 14 May 2015, 00:11

Everyone better download this before Disney decides to go against them because now, unfortunately, they own this IP

Why the warning? The average game nowadays is 30gb+, 3gb is peanuts.

And why "for an adventure game"? Back in the day the adventure games were the ones which took up the most closet space, spanning 10+ discs. Games which are mostly content-based will do that.

zerohour1974 · 14 May 2015, 00:54

to be honest I very rarely play modern games so I would not be downloading 30+ Gb... but hey your prerogative.

ransom1122 · 14 May 2015, 01:11

I wonder if they've held on to some Classic things from the old zak.

- two headed squirrel
- The fishbowl (or the shredded fish from the sink)

- the loaf of bread
- The kazoo
- microwave with the exploded egg
- Winning lotto ticket
- Elvis

There's so much to list

Monkey Island spans over 10 floppies

I wonder how long before a Longplay comes out?

It's been a while, so i can't tell what exactly. But yes, there are some things that reminds you to the old Zak.
