First of all, sorry for being late in answering...
Second of all, the Web page you mention says
Quote:
the April 1989 issue of Zzap64! (the Commodore 64 magazine) was already talking about a sequel! The three page review (yes, THREE pages) is below. I have only been able to find the Italian edition
that's because the real Zzap! did not talk at all about a sequel in April 1989 (and, as far as I remember, did not
ever talk about a sequel). Only the Italian edition did.
Third of all, the translation. Well, it's not a full one, just bits'n'pieces.
The red box says "Beware: the tested version is not the final one, and at this time Lucasfilm hasn't announced when and through which channels it will be distributed outside US. Since Zzap! staff got exclusive collaboration from the famous American firm, we will be the first to know those dates: therefore you are kindly invited to phone us for any clarification. Thank you."
The review starts by telling how they got in touch with the game: "one of our most trusted journalists [...] books a plane ticket to Los Angeles". But, although he was going there just for fun, "Ed & BDB" (the editors, I guess) tell him he has to do an interview with Lucasfilm staff. "When we saw him come back into the office, with a hat with Mickey Mouse ears and a "I love Disneyland" T-shirt, we were more surprised than we expected: not for the T-shirt or the ears (here, we are used to much worse things...) , but for the four disks he was holding in his hand, along with a photocopied version of the manual of...Zak McKraken 2!!!"
The review goes on witha detailed description of the presentation and the gameplay, and raves about the game. One of the reviewers says "Zzap! does not have diamond-crusted platinum medals"
