The German sequel mentioned is The New Adventures of Zak McKracken, which uses sprites and backgrounds ripped from the proper LucasArts version of Zak 256.

Zak 256 was made for the FM Towns console, and was available pretty much only in Japan, I think. If you can get hold of it, you can play it in English using SCUMMVM. I played an iso version I found on some obscure old adventures FTP that no longer exists. There is really no point trying to buy it, it's impossible to find. Your only hope is to scour abandonware sites and FTPs... There also exist 256-colour versions of Loom and Indy 3 for the FM Towns, but they're equally rare.
