For the last remix on this list I decided to end with a bang. Okay, to be honest I never planned anything of the sort but through good fortune, it just turned out that way! "Z" is another letter that doesn't frequently grace the start of PC game titles although there is an old Lucasarts adventure game that has quite a few remixes based on its intro theme: Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders.
Zak McKracken was a game a bit before my time but I did play many Lucasarts adventure games that came out after it such as The Secret of Monkey Island, Loom and Day of the Tentacle. I'm sure I would've loved playing it, if only Lucasarts/Disney could work on a "special edition" of it like they did with Monkey Island. Anyway, the original theme is quirky, energetic and reeks of the 80s so what remixer plasm303 decided to do was to give the track the garage band treatment and I think what he's done is perfect. He even managed to pay tribute to another Lucasarts game with the band name (Razor was a character in Maniac Mansion and she was leader of a band called The Scummettes).
