  3. #ZakMcKracken co-designer Matthew Alan Kane just shared this with me (he's the composer of the Zak theme song). Enjoy this performance/arrangement by Grazia Pizzuto:

  4. Look behind you, a two-headed squirrel!

    Meet David and Peapod, an upgrade to my Zak McKracken cosplay. They’re my first posable art doll, made from scratch. This project took me nearly 100 crafting hours.

    By now I’ve grown very fond of these guys, even if they look like they’ll murder anyone who gets between them and some peanuts. They’ve made sure that my Zak costume will get some more convention time this year.

  5. Ufff... ich war gestern Nacht noch fleißig: Hier gibt's heute Morgen nun die frisch gesicherten 5 1/4 Zoll Diskettenabbilder der deutschsprachigen EGA-Fassung von Zak McKracken! Inklusive KryoFlux Streams und 300dpi Scans aller Datenträger. Einer der ganz großen Adventure Klassiker aus dem Jahre 1988. 😎

  6. Here’s one more photo of my Zak McKracken cosplay. I’m currently making an additional prop for this costume, namely the two-headed squirrel!

    The photo was taken by void256.

  7. Quite a few people seem to like my Zak McKracken cosplay, so here’s another photo, this time with the iconic nose glasses 🥸

    Fun fact:
    That pair of nose glasses has been customised. It didn’t look right, so I replaced and styled all the facial hair.

    The photo was taken by @void256.

  9. RE: mastodon.gamedev.place/@Convos

    Today (Friday) at noon PT/3pm ET join us as we continue our Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders playthrough. Will we uncover another 37 year old bug like we did in our last session? Will the original devs get lost in their own game? Join us and find out! #ZakMcKracken @lucasartsfans @lucasarts_places @mixnmojo

  10. RE: mastodon.gamedev.place/@Convos

    So, will we be able to complete #ZakMcKracken tomorrow? We’re definitely going to need some help to refresh our memories. Join us tomorrow (Friday) at noon PST/3pm EST.

  11. @ravenlordess @saustrup I love this! You do #ZakMcKracken a great honor. So, do you have another photo with you wearing the nose glasses 🥸??

  12. Way back on July 28, 2025, I had a long conversation about my games career and everything else I've been doing for the past 50 years, with my old friend Mark Holmes as part of his #CinematicDesign Community. I just uploaded it to YouTube. Enjoy!

  14. Awesome live performance of the #ZakMcKracken theme song! I got to listen to it live after our @homecomputermuseum talk, but this recording is almost as much fun. This is Part 1 of 6 by Michiel Nijhof, lead of Floppy Ears and the Big Guns, performed epic game music at Anne Bras’ 40th birthday celebration.

  15. A friend of my be gifted me a #Commodore 386SX-16 system with a #PC50 III motherboard. It's been en a long time since I've messed with vintage PCs outside of the #MiSTer FPGA so this was an interesting hands-on project that brought a lot of lessons.

    First of all, if you're only going to run #MSDOS on it, it's actually a decent machine. I've always been more of a tools and development guy than a gamer, meaning more Norton Utilities and Borland C and a little less Civilization and Defender of the Crown. I did enjoy shooters like #Wolfenstein3D, dungeon crawlers like #EyeOfTheBeholder and #LucasArts adventures like #MonkeyIsland, #ManiacMansion and #ZakMcKracken.

    Anyway, I digress. The machine was heavily yellowed on the outside but near spotless on the inside. Featuring a 1.44MB floppy drive, 4MB RAM and a 40MB Seagate HDD, this thing could potentially run most of the apps I grew up using. Now if I could only expand the storage options a bit.. 😜

  16. If I remember correctly, I was introduced to "Zak McKracken" by a friend at school in 5th or 6th grade. Probably in 1993. By that year, the game was already considered a classic. Today, it's still so much fun to collect, because there are so many different versions across different computing platforms.

    The original PC release, which looks pretty much just like the C64 version, didn't even have native support for a mouse! Which one do you guys prefer? - C64, Enhanced PC, Amiga or FM Towns?

  18. That old 5:4 Sony 1280x1024 monitor + black Apple keyboard from different times look nice together.

    VGA KVM switches between PowerPC G4 Cube (OSX 10.5 or Mac OS 9) and i3 UMPC running #HaikuOS nightly.

    I mostly use Haiku (which isn’t #Retrocomputing!) via Synergy, sharing work Mac input devices.

  21. Gary Winnick doesn't have much of a social media presence, but he was co-designer with @grumpygamer on both #ManiacMansion and #ThimbleweedPark. He also drew the Jaggi monster on my first #LucasfilmGames project, #RescueOnFractalus, and worked on many other of our early games (#TheEidolon #Labyrinth #ZakMcKracken)
