Finally, the English version of Zak McKraken: Between Time and Space, is going to be released on 12th May 2015! Been waiting a long time for this one, but it looks like it will have been worth it...
Check out the trailer and screenshots. (http://www.retrogamingandemulation.com/2015/05/zak-mckracken-between-time-and-space.html)

This has made me VERY happy! :cheesy:
Looks absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to play it :grin:
Yahoooooooooo (laugh)
pffft, I played this in german ages ago. ;)
but there sure are a lot more cgi cutscenes in it that makes me want to replay it a lot!
Stale baguettes for the win!!

It should be better, it's well known that Germans have no sense of humour and therefore I was silly to ask you!! :P :P :P :P
(Ducks and runs....)
But seriously... yeah, humour is so often linked to clever use of language, so I hope it does translate well.
I'm Zak's fan. I would've prefered pixel art for this one, but never mind, I'll give it a try anyway;)
(my favourite part was Zak's apartment; so much you can do in there!)
Woooooooooooooooooow, I'll finally get to play it! I wish we could one day see Zak McKracken and the Alien Rockstars...
And it's out!
With a quick view by ourselves :)
( Devs have already said thanks )

hmmmm...So slightly bigger than the original Zak game? :P
I've found a site with several more sequels or sequels-in-progress here, http://www.zak-site.com/zak2.htm
I am pretty sure that those sequels are cancelled, especially the one I worked on 16 years ago ;-P But this is a pretty good indie/fan game. I can tell the humour is off slightly but is pretty funny. Some of the English translation is a little off too, but it is hardly noticeable. My only problem with the game is that I notice in some places the Visionaire engine is awefully buggy(GUI Disappearing, pathfinding a little off the beaten path, mouse cursor doesn't always detect objects, etc...) I really feel that Visionaire has potential, but AGS would have been less buggier. Regardless of such, this is an awesome game and I am enjoying playing it. The puzzles are fair. The story is great and very much in line with the original Zak. David Fox, Lucasarts and such would have been proud to play this game.
