<![CDATA[A core memory just unlocked and I need to share it.]]>A core memory just unlocked and I need to share it. As a kid, I was fascinated by Zak McKracken because you could just wander around freely. It felt so groundbreaking at the time.

My English was practically non-existent back then, so I played with a dictionary by my side. Every now and then, before the aliens showed up, the screen would read: "Meanwhile, in a secret room..."

For some reason, I used to read "Meanwhile" as "Menaville". I was convinced it was an actual location where the aliens were hiding, so I spent hours flying Zak around like crazy, desperately trying to find an airport that offered a flight to "Menaville".

Menaville being a non-existent place in a virtual world is an incredibly beautiful concept

I was always producing the default unit, simply exploring the map 😜

also - I was sure Settler icon was Yoda.
