Hello people. I am searching for an original game package of

Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders

for MS DOS. It should be the original packaging + Manual + Code-Book + whatever the package contained in 1988.

This was the first game I played in ~1990/1991 on a 368 Laptop with LCD display.
If you own this game, just let me know.

Sorry, my bad - didnt notice you wanted the box etc. Best bet would be eBay i'd wager, try the UK and US ones for stuff like this. Eccentricity is our middle name.

Why does it say that the format is NTSC? That's a video standard. [addsig]

It's quite the other way around. PAL is only in Europre. Most everywhere else is NTSC (it's better anyhow, a little less lines, but higher frequency)

PAL covers European mainland and UK, and NTSC covers Americas/japan/the east, so yeah, pretty much everywhere.

I always thought the UK was practically part of Europe, so that's why I stated "Europe" and not UK/Europe. I apologize for my state's poor PUBLIC educational system.
