I tried it last spring...but I couldn't get ANYWHERE with it...like, I ended up getting the walkthrough and it said that I had to get something from under the desk or something along those lines...but I couldn't get it!

Could've been something on my end...I got it from AGS and it could've been an old version *shrugs* who knows.  I can try it again at another time.  Don't have the time right now.

I started it...or was it the sequel, with the "new Adventures"? I don't know. But I found the girl who got kidnapped in the jungles and shortly after that gave up, because the rest seemed to be a 'figure out this random sequence of events' charade that I didn't have the interest to pursue. You had to steal the Mona Lisa, but upon looking at a walkthrough, it entailed going to like 15 other countries for random things to do so, and there wasn't even a clue about where you should go next. Not well put-together, IMO.

C'mon, we all start small. I was young and couldn't afford a great puzzle design. :'(

I tried it again...and could not figure out what to do!  I couldn't find anything to pick up!  I looked up a walkthrough to try to get some guidance...and I don't know whether I got the wrong walkthrough or what, but the walkthrough and the game didn't coincide. :(

Wait, which game was this again? I've seen several Zak-related fangames on the web and am not sure which is which, and which is even finished :)

Zak and maniac mansion are both pretty annoying games imo.

Blasphemy!

You're entitled to your opinion of course, but I respectfully disagree.
