I just caught wind of this. Gamespot - Defunct Publisher Reveals New Website At the moment, nothing else has been announced. More will be revealed at Gamescom 2014.

Has the Sierra Convention been cancelled? The Facebook page has disappeared, and I can't find any other information about it.

I just got your email. Thank you again for help!

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I sent you an email. If you didn't get it, please let me know. I asked about this in the email, but I wanted to repost it here in case someone else had this problem. Do you also have the shipping address for when the physical copies ship out, or do we submit that info later?

What information do I need to send to you in the email?

I don’t know if anybody can help me with this, but I got an email stating that the stretch goal donations were going to end soon, so I decided to upgrade my donation before it was too late. However, I didn’t get any kind of email or notification about my upgrade. The only thing I got was an email from PayPal saying that my payment to Chris Pope was successful. Is there supposed to be some kind of notification? The reason I ask is because I worry that my email spam filters might have blocked it. Also, I upgraded to the $100 level, but there was no prompt for a shipping address.

It was pretty close, but thankfully, we made it through.

I actually recieved the companion book just last year as a Christmas gift. You can find the book for sale on Amazon.com: The Space Quest Companion. Used copies of the book seem to range from twelve to twenty-one dollars before the prices start getting ludicrous. Most of the new copies are pretty pricey, though. On a side note, the copy I got was the second edition. I can't recall, but I think the only difference with the second edition is that it covers Space Quest V.

Good news everyone! Like the Double Fine Adventure and Wasteland 2, you can now support the Larry 1 remake through Kickstarter! Leisure Suit Larry 1 Remake on Kickstarter

Alright! A new SQ fan-game! This is the best Christmas ever! On a more serious note, I haven't played the game yet, as my antivirus quarantined the winsetup.exe when I installed the game and first ran it. Should I be worried about this, or is it safe to ignore?

Sorry for double-posting, but I found that there was a follow-up to the first video. Here's the link:

I was watching Evening Magazine (a local TV news magazine show in the Seattle area) last night, and they had a segment on the Rain City Hearse Club. I was surprised to learn that the founder of the club was Lorelei Shannon! For those of you who might not recognize the name, Lorelei Shannon worked for Sierra as the designer on Pepper's Adventure in Time, King's Quest VII and Phantasmagoria II. She isn't in the video for very long, and there isn't any mention of her work for Sierra, but I was just surprised, and though it was worth mentioning, in case anyone was interested. If you'd like to see the video, I've included the link: Car collections fit for Halloween Additionally, I included the link to her profile on the Rain City Hearse Club's website, which also has a link back to her website: Lorelei and Annabell Lee

Just today, I found a video interview that someone conducted with Josh Mandel, talking about what he did before he joined Sierra, and his thoughts on the transition between parser-adventures to point-and-click adventures. Here's the link: Also, it looks like there might be a follow up to this video, as the description says that this is the first part.

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.

The Virtual Broomcloset actually has an old article about a hypothetical cast for a Space Quest movie: Space Quest Casting Call Of course, the list is out-of-date, so I don't know how suitable any of the suggestions would be today. To be honest, I highly doubt that we'll ever see a movie based on Space Quest. But then again, there was just a movie about the Smurfs, so I guess anything's possible. :?
