Have you ever wanted to know what may happen to Sophia and Indy immediately after the Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis? Have you ever sat around a table with some friends and wondered what may happen to Bernard and Co. at the end of Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle? Are you ticked off to hear that Space Quest VII: Return to Roman Numerals has been canceled?

Well, believe it or not, it…

I'd love to play The Fate of Monkey Island and other fan made games, but none of the links work on the site. Can anyone tell me where else I can download these games? Or who I contact about broken links. I'm in the UK.

Absolutely spot on gamer enthusiasts. I only recently found that such games were in existence, and i am eagerly looking forward to playing a few. I just found Zak 2, and am stumped already.
If i had any serious computer skills, i'd put my name down to help on a couple.

Hey, Inherit the earth 2: Humans return(or something like that)

I read an article that you have put up about adventure games. It featured my Zak mcKracken 2 AKA Maniac Mansion 3 page. I appreciate the publicity of that, but the project will not include Maniac Mansion anymore.

My www.zakm2.org still features that project, but will be updated in a month or two. The game demos will be made using the AGS game engine (members.xoom.com/dosuser/ac.htm), Maker2(masterton.adventuregamer.com), and my own visual basic style. The final game will be made using my own engine I have created, which is about 90% done, but will not have be released till after the game is released. The engine is called TSGS.

I have asked and spoken to David Fox about Zak McKracken (He is the creator of the original game). He said that if he ever made a sequel to the game, he would be a tabloid reporter with his own tv show. And thats exactly what he is going to have in the game. Maniac Mansion cast will make a guest appearance in the game, while Harrison ford will also make a cameo appearance as indiana Jones, and some fake actor as guybrush threepwood.

Possibly in the game there will be the use of a computer in which you can play your own copy of zak1, possibly redone with newer graphics.

There will new places, new characters,more interactions and buttons in the game. We will still use an interface similar to Lucasarts interface. The way indy 3 was, Zak 1, curse of monkey island. It will be a mix.

I also have 3 artists, one in which is doing the boxart for me. I also have someone doing the novel. The story is 10% complete, with a 100% complete demo script. I have a few voice actors, but I still need more like Zaks voice. I need graphics artists, or drawing artists., musicians, sound effects, etc...

If you would like to know more about the game and the team, e-mail me at: zak2mm3prj@aol.com

I thank you for posting my game. But, I just wanted to let you know that Zak McKracken 2/Maniac Mansion3 is cancelled, it will be only Zak McKracken 2 now. I am still trying to find a new title for it. My new sites are the following:
