Release id #115166 : Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders

I noticed that this release was actually cracked by Eagle Soft Inc. too like nearly every release.

Did the majority of crackers here just remove Eagle Soft's intro and replace it with their own instead of doing actual work?

To verify:
* Start game
* "Open" drawer to the left underneath the fish bowl
* "Use" "Phone bill" (in that drawer) with "cash card" (underneath the desk) (so you pick up both)
* "Open" the desk drawer, pick up the kazoo in there
* "Open" door, walk out of the house, walk right to the bus
* "Use" "kazoo"
* "Use" "cash card" with "cash card reader" (you'll go to the airport)
* "Use" "reservations terminal"
* Click "Mexico city", then "OK", then press a button of your choice 4 times or the like

-> it'll display "Cracked by Eagle Soft Inc."

Long time ago I heard there was a bug in the ESI crack and NFI fixed it

I'm not 100% sure if it's true

That is possible, lots of 100% versions out there that everyone could've forgotten about.
