... I've finally completed Space Quest IV.

Not sure if this was already posted- I searched and didn't see it. You can see a lot of art from the failed Escape Factory SQ7 project, at http://www.brett3d.com/ld_adventure.html Remember, this was a game that was intentionally nothing like the SQ we knwo and love. They were asked explicitly not to play the older Space Quest games. Anyway, found it interesting.

Well, it finally happened. "Space Quest: Vohaul Strikes Back" has hit the beta phase. I'm just going to repost pcj's post from the Adventure Game Studio forums below. -- We've been slowly working on VSB on and off for about 9 years now and it's finally entering beta stage. It's gone through several different iterations but we've come up with something awesome. If you don't know what VSB is, here's a brief plot intro: Roger Wilco and Beatrice Wankmeister are in the middle of an important conversation when they are interrupted by an apeman sent by a reincarnation of Vohaul. Roger soon discovers that he must once again stop Vohaul from destroying the ga…

Is there sense to buy officially SQ1-6, for example, in the GoG site? I mean, we can get the games via famous internet way. Real Sierra is dead. Nobody wants to create official SQ sequel (from Activision, etc).

Why is the SQ4.5 so crappy? Why do no many fans like SQ6? Because there's SQ formula. Some thinks SQ is just sci-fi + parody, I don't think so. *** You can add your own items. SQ Formula 1. Sci-fi, space 2. Parody to famous brends (cinema, games, fam.places, stars, another SQ series) 3. Characters, narrator and the game mock at Roger 4. Roger always rescues something or somewho 5. Roger time to time acts stupidly (like fool) 6. Roger is able to exploit (he went to the Sariens' ship by his wish! It's certain death!) 7. Roger often has luck 8. Each new game is very different from others 9. Characters from prev.games rarel…

Create special SQ smiles for the forum! *** From The Russian SQ Forum. The main of them was created by tyyu3 http://spacequest-time.narod.ru/files/forum/vohaul_lol.gif http://spacequest-time.narod.ru/files/forum/vohaul_lol_dead.gif P.S. Alas, some of these doesn't look good in the black background

How did SQ CyberSniff-cards smell, who remember? (approximately) Maybe I said wrong caption of it. CyberSniff 2000 was in LSL, but SQ also had the same cards. As I saw, there're cards with smell of Ortega, Phleebhut surfaces, etc... Anyway I mean all SQ smell-cards that you know.

For those of you who might be interested, someone just finished a video Let's Play of all six Space Quest games over on the Something Awful Let's Play forums. Here's the link to the thread.

Hmm... I reckon the Steam collection uses DOSBox like the last collections released by Activision. You certainly wouldn't be able to run the games on Windows 7 otherwise. Is there a file named dosbox.conf in your game folder? Try posting the contents of that. I'm mainly interested in the "render ="-line in the [sdl]-section as this sounds like the graphics mode DOSBox is set to isn't working properly with your system.

Wow, I never knew about this! I'll have to give it a whirl. Thanks for posting about this!

Who knows anything about this book? http://u.to/S_MZAQ I could find nothing about it, except the Google Books.

(I'm positive that this question has been answered at some point, and I'm almost 100% positive that I was the one to ask it, but what the hey, I'll ask it anyway.) How was the player supposed to discover the correct time codes once they've stolen the Time Pod in Space Quest XII? Was it merely trial and error, or were they supplied in the game's documentation? I remember playing it by trial and error when I first played it, but (thankfully!) we had the good sense to write down the code for the twelfth realm-er, game. Naturally it's a non-issue for me now, as my manual has every time code inscribed in the notes section, but I'm still curious... And to stray somewh…

To simplify things for the owners of the 2006 Space Quest Collection from VU, I have made a new installer it. This saves having to use the original installer first and then having to apply the DOSBox patch to fix the many problems of this flawed collection. Now you can install the Space Quest games in one easy operation. Just insert your Space Quest Collection CD and run the installer. As with the DOSBox patch, if you place the SQ1 files are in the same folder as the new installer when you run it, the installer can add the AGI version of SQ1 to the collection.

I've decided to create a game (not a space quest based game) but i am planning to make it in space :P so I downloaded SCI v.3something... and was that a slap on the face! 16 colors! does anyone know what is the engine used for SQ4 and where can I find it? (a direct link would be VERY appreciated) :)(K) :D

played SQ1 VGA, never got my hands on II and III.... anything? :|

From where did characters and some objects have their names? Your suppositions. *** Perhaps, Beatrice is from "beauty" and woman from Dante's Comedy. Earnon - Earth? Xenon - ref to Superman's planet?

There're win-versions in SQ4-5 game archives (like in SQ6), but I can't normally run these versions, I don't see all graphics (some sprites disappear). You got similar problems? Or there's way to solve it?

Hi Guys, Has anybody here got Space quest on their mobile phone? Apparently somebody managed to get Leisure Suit Larry onto their Mobile (nokia).. If this is true can somebody provide link? would love to play sq whilst travelling to and from work on the train.. (yawn..) Cheers!

Thanks for your kind words. Always nice to hear I'm appreciated. Those words don't come easy these days!

The thread for any little SQ-related questions and fast answers. To not create new (and little) threads. *** And mines: - why SQ TLC is called SQX? (Note: some Russians called it SQ7, lol) - why SubChan was closed? - Scott liked (likes) to play SQs? - some ver of SQ7 (sierra) demo existed? But now it's lost? - can SQ (Escape F.) (I called it SQ Xbox) be published in future as gameplay videos&pics were? I mean, there's a demo, Sierra hasn't plans to it, so EF can release it just like free 'PR' game, or they can't anyway? - why IA (2 VGA) and Mr.DD (Incineration) don't be afraid wrath of Negavision? - why and who named SQ hero? I know…
