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.

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

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.
