Zak McKracken was first released in 1988 by then Lucas Filmgames and was the second game to feature the famous SCUMM engine and an interface without textparser but with verbs on screen where you click together the actions you want to perform. The esoteric themes and places took adventure gamer’s hearts by storm and except for some tricky but still solvable mazes and some mean dead ends it is a true classic to the point and click genre. The soundtrack by Matthew Alan Kane is pumping with bass and a hypnotic melody and so very catchy, you can’t do anything else but like it.
As Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders turns 30 this year (2018) this video is a hommage to the 30th anniversay of the great game Zak McKracken and features a Flamenco version of that mentioned soundtrack recorded by NecroPolo. See the heros of the game do the Flamenco.

Very nice video. As this was still the era of the “Wrecking Crew”, the famous band of LA studio musicians, I wonder whether Tommy Tedesco was the guitarist on this track.
