ES IST 1997 UND DIE WELT IST SO DUMM WIE NOCH NIE… Außerirdische haben eine Dummheitsmaschine gebaut, die langsam jedermanns Intelligenzquotienten erniedrigt. Am schlimmsten ist aber, daß die einzige Person, die die Aliens stoppen kann, der Boulevard-Reporter Zak McKracken ist, der sich für seine Zeitung die tollsten Geschichten über vegetarische Vampire und fleischfressenden Blumenkohl ausdenkt. SIE HABEN DIE TELEFONGESELLSCHAFT ÜBERNOMMEN… Das klingt genau wie noch so eine von Zaks verrückten Geschichten. Aber während ihm das sowieso niemand abnimmt, findet er unterhalb seines San Franciscoer Apartments eingesperrt die Podcaster Simon & Sebastian, die ursprünglich mit ihrem umgebauten VW-Bulli zum Mars fliegen wollten. "Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders" von David Fox und 1988 ist das zweite klassische Lucasfilm-Grafikadventure, das die SCUMM-Engine verwendet, und es jettet nicht bloß einmal um die ganze Welt, sondern sogar ins Weltall – und beinhaltet mehr Paranormales und New-Age-Mystizismus, als Shirley MacLaine in einen sechsstündigen Fernsehfilm packen könnte. Mit dieser Folge setzt die Rückspultaste nicht nur die Lucasfilm-Games-Werkschau fort, die sich bisher "Maniac Mansion" und "The Secret of Monkey Island™" vorknöpfte – es wird auch ein Schlußakkord gespielt für unsere diesjährige Trilogie, die sich mit Religion und Esoterik befaßt. Bis bald! PS: Wir danken allen Cameos, die den Hörspiel-Part dieser Folge bereichert haben – vor allem "unserem Zak" Michael, der unsere bisherigen Lucasfilm-Folgen mit seiner Pixelkunst veredelte. Drei der Stimmen haben eigene Podcasts – ihr hört Britt-Marie beim Frankfurter Kranz, den American Cyborg Terminator bei den Männern, die auf Videos starren, und Felo im Sumpf. Und die wunderbare Flamenco-Version vom Zak-McKracken-Titelsong könnt ihr euch hier reinziehen.

Tanya and Jonathan talk about what it takes to keep true to your core while expanding your audience, using Dectective Pikachu, Pokemon Go, and Molly Mooon's Excuse Me, Sir as examples of Do's and Don'ts.

I am joined by Jan Hofmeister, who has spent years restoring for free, in particular point and click adventure game box art and posters – creating stunning print quality tributes to these classic titles. Titles from Lucas Arts, Adventure Soft and more in beautiful high quality using a variety of assets from the original box art, magazine full-page spreads, manuals and more. Although the audio version of the podcast is still available, this is very much a visual presentation as Jan takes us through a selection of his work and details for the first time the processes and applications he uses for these restorations. Topics include: How Jan became interested in restoring game box art and posters Jan’s fascination with Lucas Arts point and click adventure games The early days with the Commodore 128 and Maniac Mansion How it became a hobby and a skill The influence of Jurassic Park in computer graphics Restoration of Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders process demonstrated Restoration of The Secret of Monkey Island process demonstrated Restoration of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine process demonstrated Restoration of The Curse of Monkey Island up close Restoration of Simon the Sorcerer up close Jan’s work on the cover of Back to the Future: The Game The sad side of Jan’s restoration efforts How you can support Jan’s work

Thomas Tilker entführt uns mit seinem Streetfoto gefühlt in eine andere Zeit, auf einen anderen Kontinent und er zeigt uns die eigentlich recht banale Szene mit überraschend witzigen Details :) Begleite uns gern durch das Foto und erfahre, was das Bild mit Zak Mckracken zu tun hat.

Björn und Christian begeben sich in dieser Folge auf Reisen – Angefangen in San Francisco führt dieser Trip sogar bis zum Mars. Die Rede ist natürlich vom kultigen Point-and-Click-Adventure „Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders“ von Lucasfilm Games aus dem Jahre 1988. Besprochen werden vor allem die Versionen für Amiga und C64. Zieht die Nasenbrillen auf und lasst uns gemeinsam die Erde vor der Invasion durch Außerirdische retten! PS: Gefällt dir unser Podcast?

Episode 133: This week Anna and Paul sit down to discuss and just pick the bloody bones out of the year 1988 and the glorious games it produced. From King's Quest IV to Zak McKracken, Police Quest 2 to Leisure Suit Larry 2 (also several minutes were spent on non-adventure games) (at least 3 minutes) it was a year of quality above quantity.

Zak McKracken er Lucasfilm Games tredje eventyrspill og byr på en konspiratorisk verden med romvesener, Elvis, Marsboere, en kazoo, og ikke minst løsnese og -briller. cd SPILL har fått besøk av skaperen bak spillhistorie.no, Joachim Froholt som deler sine gode minner om denne klassikeren.

Im Rahmen der Recherche für den Podcast zu Zak McKracken führten Chris und Gunnar ein Gespräch mit David Fox, einem der ersten Angestellten von LucasFilm Games, der in seiner Zeit dort unter anderem an Spielen wie Rescue on Fractalus, Labyrinth oder Maniac Mansion beteiligt war. Thema der Unterhaltung war Zak McKracken – seine Innenansichten in den Design-Prozess haben unseren Podcast zu dem Thema deutlich bereichert. Auszüge aus dem Gespräch waren dort bereits zu hören. David ist ein lebendiger Gesprächspartner und ein interessanter Zeitzeuge, daher haben wir das komplette Interview noch als eigenen Podcast aufbereitet. Das Gespräch wurde in englischer Sprache geführt; Fox spricht aber deutlich und ist gut zu verstehen. Viel Spaß! Sprecher: David Fox, Christian Schmidt, Gunnar Lott. Audioproduktion: Lars Rühmann, Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro, Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Chris Hülsbeck (Musik)

Ya estamos aquí otra quincena más, desde el asilo más friki de la podcasfera y en esta ocasión en "Cuando todo esto era campo", quería hablaros del programa El Millonario y en "Te vas a quedar ciego con tanta maquinita" del videojuego Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. No esperes que te lo cuenten y dale al play.

Die Welt, Ende der 80er. Es herrscht im Adventure-Genre ziemlich unangefochten die Firma Sierra mit ihren Erfolgsserien, aber 1987 setzt LucasFilm Games, der Games-Arm von George Lucas' Filmfirma, einen Kontrapunkt: Maniac Mansion etabliert mit seinen technischen Errungenschaften und dem popkulturell aufgeladenen Humor eine Formel, die von da an das Genre prägt. Die Erwartungshaltung an das nächste Adventure des Studios ist folglich groß – und Studio-Veteran David Fox liefert mit Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders ein umfangreiches Spiel, das sich stark an Maniac Mansion orientiert, aber an entscheidenden Stellen von dem Vorbild abweicht. Insbesondere in Deutschland erobern sich die LucasArts-Adventures einen dauerhaften Platz in den Herzen der Spieler. Chris und Gunnar sprechen über die Entstehung des Titels, über das Spiel und lassen auch den Entwickler David Fox zu Wort kommen.

In this New Years Eve special David Fox goes behind the scenes on Thimble weed Park as he talks about how he and Ron Gilbert started working on the game as well as how the story and puzzles came about and much more. He also talks about how he started working with Lucasarts, the origins of Maniac Mansion, comparisons between the games and movies of Labyrinth and Last Crusade, how Last Crusade inspired Fate of Atlantis and how the famous leather jackets line first came about and who came up with the idea to put the hamster in the microwave. And of course he speaks about the creation of his Lucasfilm’s early classic Zak McKracken.

The Secret of Monkey Island wird 30 Jahre alt! Dieses Ereignis (und natürlich Andys inbrünstige Liebe zum Genre) nehmen wir zum Anlass, die neue Folge von Games Insider voll und ganz den Point’n’Click-Adventures zu widmen. Eine Spielegattung, die insbesondere auf deutsche Spieler eine große Faszination ausübt – Legenden zufolge bis heute. Oder zumindest bis 2012. Denn als der US-Spieledesigner Tim Schafer in jenem Jahr mit seinem Studio Double Fine Productions eine Kickstarter-Kampagne startete, mit der er schließlich erfolgreich sein neues Point’n’Click-Adventure Broke Age finanzierte, sagte er im offiziellen Pitch-Video: "These days it seems like adventure games are almost a bit of a lost art form … exist in our dreams and our memories and in … Germany (…)" Auch ansonsten scheint es ein offenes Geheimnis zu sein, dass gerade wir Deutschen große Fans dieser doch recht obskuren Mischung aus fantasiereichem, beinahe buchähnlichem Storytelling und dem Lösen bizarrer Rätsel sind. Doch woran liegt das eigentlich? Wir sprechen in dieser Ausgabe von Games Insider über das Genre an sich, über die Entwicklung der Point’n’Click-Adventures von der Frühzeit Mitte der 80er bis heute und über unsere persönlichen Highlights. Und natürlich auch darüber, was uns am Genre am meisten reizt und was wir ganz furchtbar finden. Zudem stellen wir Thesen auf, warum viele Adventure-Hits vor allem hierzulande deutlich beliebter waren und sind als im Rest der Welt. Doch nun, liebe Hörerinnen und Hörer: Drücke Abspieltaste Viel Spaß mit dieser Folge!

Bienvenidos al Podcast de “Haruo Work & Coffee”, un lugar donde podremos tomar un café y charlar diversos temas. CAPITULO 05: Clásico de LukasArts, hermanito menor de Maniac Mansion, hoy tenemos delante nuestro a MI PRIMER JUEGO de PC... Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders!! Pensaran que soy de la hiper vieja escuela que encima lo jugaba en DOS... en una PC que no tenia windows, no sabia que era un mouse... cargar los pocos kilobytes de RAM que tenia la pc. Pero no! tengo 31 años! nací en el año 88 (cuando salió este juego) pero yo si conozco los diskette de 5 1/4, conozco pocos amigos de mi edad que nunca vieron uno físicamente, pero aquí estoy, contando mi experiencia en este juego! Presentamos nuestro programa “El salón de la nostalgia: RetroGame” un Podcast para hablar de videojuegos de nuestra infancia, comentando mis experiencias y opiniones. Me encantaría leer sus comentarios, por supuesto se los responderé

It's time once again for another installment of our LucasArts adventure game series with what could be the only podcast episode ever created about the developer's least beloved (outside of Germany) game. Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders might be the LucasArts adventure that's aged the worst, but it's a fascinating case of a game trapped between the design styles of Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island, and one that decided to take an evolutionary path that ended up being a dead end. On this episode, join Bob Mackey and Duckfeed.tv's Gary Butterfield as the two take apart Zak McKracken to see what makes it so different from the rest of the LucasArts catalog. Retronauts is a completely fan-funded operation. To support the show, and get exclusive episodes every month, please visit the official Retronauts Patreon.

Der Nachfolge-Adventure Hit von Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, ist nicht nur in Deutschland ein sehr beliebtes Game gewesen sondern hat mitunter meine Kindheit mit-definiert. Was alles so am Lucas Arts-Klassiker dran ist heute in der Retrospektive.

LucasArts Employee #3 himself, David Fox joins to talk about his fantastic career contributing to some of the most iconic graphic adventure games of our time, chasing the technology to create location-based interactive experiences, and his philosophy on positive change through design. Topics include VR, interpersonal issues in the modern game industry, politics, electric cars, and more. David was so kind to agree to this show, we were both fighting illness at the time of recording (I had to really work hard on my end of the discussion in post to make it listenable, apologies for any unusual tone quality) but I could not have been more pleased with the discussion itself. David has contributed to so many games we all know and love, Zak McKracken, Maniac Mansion, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Thimbleweed Park, and more. It was such a pleasure to spend some time learning about the rest of his awesome work and capture more details about the things he's done. Please keep an open mind; David's time at LucasArts has been discussed in super deep detail in a variety of interviews and I'd encourage you to check them out. I wanted to do more for this show to really get a sense of David's contributions to technology and interactive experiences on a broader scale. Nonetheless there's plenty of great material here to dig into about design, VR, and the game development community. Check it out and reach out to David on Twitter!

An airhacks.fm conversation with Sebastien Blanc (@sebi2706) about: Thomson MO5, every school in France needs to have a computer, printing the name with BASIC, the REM sadness, making yellow boxes, programming Logo in French, writing "root" and "house" procedures, no procedures in BASIC, the ACSLogo for Mac OS X, Berkeley Logo (UCBLogo), the Amstrad PC1512, using AMOS programming language for writing games, writing invoicing software with 14 and AMOS, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, Siemens Nixdorf PC, QuickBasic on Siemens Nixdorf DX2-66, the Persistence of Vision Raytracer, average calculation for school notes with QuickBasic, writing ballistic games for TI BASIC (TI 99/4A), playing Nirvana on e-guitar, starting with Java in 2002, the Rational Rose Logo Edition, learning Java EE on JOnAS, Apache Tapestry, consulting with Apache Jetspeed, writing Java EE code for 7 years, hardtimes with WebSphere, Xerces and ClassLoading, refactorings to Maven, mobile web / Grails involvements, starting at RedHat's mobile team - AeroGear, Matthias Wessendorf, Matthias loves Java Server Faces (JSF), the unified push server, starting keycloak involvement, the security challenge, the keycloak religion, keycloak ships as WildFly distribution, keycloak is a WildFly subsystem, keycloak uses hibernate for persistence, keycloak manages users with credentials, keycloak ships with ready to UI to manage users, keycloak functionality is exposed as REST services, there is a Java client available - as REST wrapper, keycloak is a "remote" proxy realm, keycloak ships with adapters for major application servers out-of-the-box, keycloak comes with SSO - different application servers can share the same session, the security realm is a "territory", in keycloak a session is optional -- a microservice can use JWT token, using OIDC tokens, keycloak comes with servlet filters for servers without adapter support, the new keycloak approach is the Keycloak Gatekeeper, Keycloak Gatekeeper is a sidecar service, apache mod_auth_openidc, keycloak is oidc compliant -- any generic OIDC library should work, the JWT creation tool JWTenizr, the "Securing JAX-RS Endpoints with JWT" screencast, the oauth flows, oauth authorization flow, implicit flow and the hybrid flow, access token has to have short lifetime, using services accounts for schedulers, keycloak has a logout backchannel - available from servlet filter, pushing a timestamp also causes logout, HttpServletRequest#logout also logouts, the killer feature: keycloak stores the private keys in one place and makes public keys available via URI, Sebastien Blanc on twitter: @sebi2706

Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary.

Now many console gamers may not know the name "LucasArts", although some of their titles have come to consoles. But LucasArts is much more known in the realm of computer gaming, as many of their titles have been released on a plethora of home computer platforms. From the Atari 8-bit family, to the Commodore 64, and later to the Atari ST, Amiga, FM Towns, IBM PC, and Macintosh computer lines, LucasArts made their fortune and glory, best known for their amazing graphic adventure games, which utilized their in-house engine known as SCUMM, as well as some top notch Star Wars games. LucasArts continued to publish and develop many games until 2012, when their parent company Lucasfilm was purchased by Disney. In 2013, LucasArts sadly let go of their internal development teams, and now exists solely as a license holder. However, in spite of this, many of their classic titles are available on services such as Steam and GOG.com, and I highly recommend checking them out. Now, for this episode, I will make mention that LucasArts used a special music engine for many of their games called iMUSE, which allowed for dynamic music; music tracks could seamlessly segue-way into one another to best fit the mood. Some of the tracks featured will demonstrate iMUSE in action. Additionally, some of these tracks were originally MIDI tracks, and I have selected to use recordings as they would sound running through a MIDI module known as the Roland MT-32. Make sure your DOS box has enough free RAM and you have your copy protection codes ready, because we're about to go on a time warp of amazing LucasArts music! =====Game - Composer - Title - Year - System==== 1) Maniac Mansion – Chris Grigg & David Lawrence - “Opening Titles (Commodore 64 version)” - October 5, 1987 (C64/Apple II), March 1988 (DOS), 1989 (Amiga/Atari ST/DOS v2) 2) Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders – Matthew Alan Kane & Chris Grigg - “Main Theme (FM Towns version)” - October 1988 (C64/DOS), 1989 (Amiga/Atari ST/DOS v2), 1990 (FM Towns) 3) Loom – Based on “Swan Lake” by Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky; arranged by George “The Fat Man” Sanger & Eric Hammond - “Opening Title” & “Guild of Glassmakers” (Roland MT-32 versions) - May 1990 (DOS/Mac OS/Amiga/Atari ST), 1991 (FM Towns), 1992 (DOS Talkie) 4) Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe – Michael Land - “Opening Titles” - August 1991 (DOS) 5) The Secret of Monkey Island – Michael Land, Barney Jones, Andy Newell, & Patrick Mundy - “Voodoo Lady” & “The SCUMM Bar” (CD Audio versions) – October 1990 (Amiga/DOS Floppy/Atari ST/Mac OS), 1992 (DOS CD/FM Towns/Sega CD/Amiga CDTV) 6) Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge – Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, & Michael Land - “Villa de la Booty” - December 1991 (DOS/Amiga/Mac OS/FM Towns) 7) Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis – Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, & Michael Land - “The Colonies of Atlantis” - June 1992 (DOS/Amiga/Mac OS/FM Towns) 8) Day of the Tentacle – Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, & Michael Land - “Hotel Interiors – Present” - June 25, 1993 (DOS/Mac OS) 9) Sam & Max Hit the Road – Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, & Michael Land - “A Pleasantly Understated Credits Sequence” & “King of the Creatures” - November 1993 (DOS/Mac OS) 10) Full Throttle – The Gone Jackals - “Legacy” - April 30, 1995 (DOS/Mac OS) 11) Star Wars: Dark Forces – Michael Land (original arrangements by John Williams - “The Secret Base” - February 28, 1995 (DOS/Mac OS) 12 ) The Dig – Michael Land – “The Ancient City” - November 30, 1995 (DOS/Mac OS) 13) The Curse of Monkey Island – Michael Land (vocals: Dominic Armato, Alan Young, Gregg Berger, Michael Sorich) – “A Pirate I Was Meant To Be” - October 31, 1997 (Windows) 14) Outlaws – Clint Bajakian - “The Ballad of Dr. Death” - March 1997 (Windows) 15) Grim Fandango – Peter McConnell - “Blue Casket Bop” & “Casino Calavera” - October 30, 1998 (Windows)

Holmes talks with veteran game designer David Fox about the early days of LucasArts, Zak McKracken and The Alien Mindbenders, and more recent projects including Rube Works and his reunion with Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, Thimbleweed Park.

I dag er @runehak og @jhegstad innom og forteller om Tombstone-festivalen, fising i VHS-coveret, tusen år for gammelt øl, ribbepølse med riskrem og rød saus, småcore på bygda, U-ball, mesterskap i fett hår, hullete olabukser, vannskade på klasserommet, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, Stjørdals-crackergruppen Razor 1911, hvordan en amerikaner fant ut at han kunne ringe gratis og, tilslutt, hvordan alle inntektene fra Tetris gikk rett til den Sovjetiske stat. Velbekomme!

Part deux of our chat with Tony Sarkees, an attorney in Chicago who loves making things at the local hackerspace as much as he loves gaming. We play This is Your Life, compete in a quiz about C64 games and talk gadgets. Tony is the ultimate mobile consumer, switching his SIM card between Android & iPhone for many years. It all started with jailbreaking an iPod Touch. Chris remembers Tony’s many tweets about his Chumby, a cuddly, user-friendly device that our guest believes has no counterpart. Not too long ago, our guest’s friend Newman passed away and Chris is touched by Tony’s tribute to his cat. Quiz Time The Commodore 64 game Agent USA. The Lucas Arts games company used a programming language called SCUMM. SCUMM stands for Scripting Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion. Another terrific Lucas Arts game was Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. Once again our guest defeats Paul! Paul says, “Yo dawg, do you remember Napster?” We discuss piracy and the maker community. Chris suggests the Stuff You Should Know Podcast about TV ratings. Paul suggests checking out the C.G.P. Grey youtube channel, because learning! Chris’ next project is rebuilding his subwoofer. Did you know you could build your own and probably get something better and less expensive? Everything you need is at Parts Express. Paul is hoping to build a gnarly workspace in his office for all this podcast gear. He’s learning Google Sketch Up to create something. He’s starting the center of the sweet desktop with a rackmount equipment stand. Chris shares a very cool site with open designs, OpenDesk. Thanks to all the listeners who bought one of our Tees! Unfortunately, they are no longer for sale, but you can always request a reprint. You can find Tony on twitter, his site, the electro bureau or grab some of the things he makes at his shop.

Rollenspiele, Adventures, Echtzeit- und Rundenstrategie – sie und viele andere hat es erwischt. Einst als populäre Spielegenres verehrt, nur um sodann auf der Begehrtheitsskala der Spieler den Nullpunkt anzukratzen. Einige Spielkonzepte hatten das Glück, wie Phönix der Asche zu entsteigen, anderen Fristen weiterhin ein Nischendasein. In Spielwiese Podcast Folge 3 beleuchten wir den Aufstieg und Fall diverser Genres, schwärmen ein wenig von der Zeit, als Spiele wie Zak Mckracken, Command&Conquer und Street Fighter 2 einen neuen Wendepunkt in ihrem Genre markierten und geben natürlich einen Ausblick, wohin sich die Genres derzeit entwickeln. Am Ende kam mit 1 Stunde und 48 Minuten ...
