The "hi-res" version if Zak that you have is the FM Towns (Japanese PC "Console") 256 color version that is playable on the SCUMM emulator. I do
No, it is not. What I have is clearly a 320x200 @ 16 color version, not FM Towns 256-color version. Here is a screenshot of the low-res one most people have:

..and here is the same shot from the high-res one:

And to further bake your noodle, here is a low-res original Maniac Mansion:

..and here is the high-res 16-color version:

Before you start tearing your hair out, I have verified that the high-res MM was a UK release (go to MobyGames.com and look at the DOS UK release back box, it has the high-res shots on it), and the high-res Zak was a KIXX Australian release.
The remaining question: Are the euro high-res versions worth more than the original ones? CURIOUS!
