A few months ago (wow. Longer, when I really think about it), I had thought it would be fun to print up poster-size box art for SQ, the way I have Monkey Island setup in my office. The Scans that Frans has up on SQ.net are great, but really low-res. I made up some of my own from my boxes, but they're no where near first editions, and have scratches, stickers, and the like. You're welcome to my copies if you want (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6zay8n4q9a3mi4k/fhrHcim_2T), but if anyone had a nice scanner and better boxes, I'd love to see them. I had asked someone to try cleaning them up a bit, but he dropped the resolution WAY down in …

Just wondering if anyone knows the address of the old sierra HQ in oakhurst. I wanted to try and get a look on google maps Thanx

I don't know if it's against the rules to plug things, but I just uploaded a video on YT with the entirety of SQ3 running in S-Video, the goal of which is to naturally smooth as much dithering as possible, thereby better simulating an expanded color pallet, done in a manner recordable in decent quality. Unfortunately, my hardware isn't quite where I want it to be for that, my capture card forced its own compression, that, while not terrible, is definitely not great either. Also, I don't have an MT-32, so Sound Blaster 16 will have to do. Regardless, if anyone wants to check it out, well, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0ZZCiEa4GM

This may have been brought up before...

Hello all, I recently downloaded 'Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge Remake' from Gamesnostalgia to my Windows 10 PC and it is running smoothly, however, when I try to record the gameplay using OBS, I only get a black screen. Could anyone help me out? Thanks!

Long - REALLY Long Play of 6 hours and some change - Non Commentary. Watch me die. A lot. So. Very. Much. And Commentary version (which is sped up because no one wants to hear me ramble for 6 hours and some change...)

Space Quest IV - Fun (Visual Edit) I Did. :-) Wait for it......

Non Commentary -

How do you think? For example, they can make game about theirself.

Sludge Vohaul is difficult villain. He is evil and slave holder. But maybe he has some good side in his soul? For example, we can see it in fangame VSB (SQ8). At the end of the game there's good version of Vohaul and his childhood. It's nice. What do you think? He can be friend for Roger? Maybe RW must make him kind. Very kind :)

Roger killed several alien and human persons What do you think about it? Maybe rly he's antipode and enemies are kind guys

Are you fan of Sludge Vohaul and why?

From everything I've seen and read throughout the years, SQ6 is perhaps the most unpopular game of the series. I consider it my second favorite, next to SQ1VGA (another disliked entry in the series). I am curious--For those fans here who dislike SQ6, could you outline why?

1) Outside of the one-off interview with Scott from years ago, where else has it been mentioned specifically by Scott or Mark that they dislike the VGA version of SQ1? 2) I've read on this forum that Josh Mandel had something to do with the writing of SQ1 VGA - Where did you guys get this info from, and what parts of SQ1 VGA did he write? 3) In the poll thread for the game, some have said the artwork was outsourced to Korea. But the art is credited to Douglas Herring who worked for Sierra and he's even shown some samples of his early work on it - So what gives?

Roger is a virgin?

May the 4th (and the Mop) Be With You. Always.

Really awesome bundle for the next two weeks: https://www.humblebundle.com/sierra-bundle-strikes-again

Write interesting moments from SQ and thought about SQ Universe *** Slash vs Sludge 'Slash' (SQ1) is nick of Sludge (SQ2). And he lied that he's good science *** Sludge was dead after SQ2. SQ4 version of him is intelligence virus, not Vohaul *** Lazy Quest SQ about lazy levels SQ about Sarien-Vohaul (true Wilco) Sarien is lazy hero with ugly 'monster' soul. He is 'Sarien Encounter'. He want to kill all people (see bodies in SQ1) Lazy levels SQ1 - Sarien (ugly soul) SQ2 - Vohaul (fat sarien) SQ3 - Robopilot (no soul) SQ4 - Sequel (fat robopilot) SQ5 - Quirk SuperMutant (in the end of the game) (oxidized robot)…

So I did some searching for the amazing font used on the first three Space Quest box covers and I found it! FIrst of all I must mention a fantastic variation that Goatmeal created which matches the in-game titles for SQ1 and SQ2 (but which are slightly different from the box, namely the A having a flat upper side instead of a rounded point). http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/624609/space_quest_logo_font He also did a font for the credits text: http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/678735/space_quest_credits After some searching he found a close approximation of the text style but as a thinner font: http://www.identifont.com/find?font=digital+sans&amp…

I heard in the Space Quest commentary videos that there are scans available of the original background art of Space Quest, and other Sierra games. They were supposed to be available somewhere online, but I can't find anything while searching for it! Does anyone know where to find the art? I would love to see the high resolution versions of that beautiful art!

Hey folks, Feel free to continue the SQ7 beta thread in this new one, since the previous one was derailed. The original poster, "darealdeal" has so far said: And later: Other discussion includes the potential of it being a hoax, which hasn't come to anything. While I reserve my scepticism there's no point being overly cynical as yet, since there's no evidence either way. The guy seems nice enough :D So, carry on! - Spike

I've sent this to like five people, and so far all of them have immediately agreed that these are 10000000% scars. I just thought that was interesting.
