   Happy birthday to Zak McKracken, who turns 35 this month! 🎂 🎉

   The first Lucasfilm adventure game I ever played.

   My father bought it for me on Atari ST. I was immediately drawn into the game, and didn't get out until I'd finished it ❤️

     Introducing the Exit Visa Security System! 🧳 ✈️

     The must-have book for traveling to every corner of the world! It helps you get through airport security. If you forget it, you're in jail! 🚨

     The book is dark so it can't be photocopied. I remember that in the French version, it was smaller and... pink! (so easy to photocopy)

     The National Inquisitor newspaper is full of juicy, humorous news! 📰 🐿️

     It also contains a number of clues to help players progress through the game 🔍

     I can't remember if it was translated in the French version. I think it was just the game and the manual (translated and distributed by Ubi Soft in France)

     And finally the hint book! 📔

     Are you stuck? Just look for the question you're asking and use the glasses to reveal the solution! 🔍

     The guide also lists all the objects in the game (where to find them and where to use them), the maze map, the connections between each airport and Zak McKracken's notebook.

     Or should I say Francis Zachary McKracken! 🥸

     Here's the back of the box and the contents 🥸

     There's the manual and floppies, of course. But also "The National Inquisitor" newspaper, code sheets and hint book.

     I'll show more pictures in the following posts 😀
