Trivia / Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders

• Creator Backlash: Game director David Fox wasn't too fond of the MS-DOS port, feeling that the EGA graphics standard didn't do justice to the updated artwork, and that the game's theme song was absolutely butchered due to the port only supporting the PC speaker.
• Feelies: The game came with a free issue of The National Inquisitor, the tabloid the protagonist works for. Several of the articles provide vital hints, such as how lightning can mend crystals.
• What Could Have Been: As originally envisioned by David Fox, the game was more serious about its New Age elements, to the point of bringing in David Spangler as a consultant and giving him an additional developer credit. The plan changed after Fox held a brainstorming session with Ron Gilbert, who convinced him to add more wacky humour to the game.
