Hi, guys. Long time no see. I don't check in here too often, although really I should. But since I basically checked out of the SQ community ten years ago things have changed considerably. Being a Roger Wilco fan is fun again, with the massive amounts of love showing in the fan efforts of VSB, SQInc and Infamous' SQ2VGA. Plus, not to mention, the fact that the original series is doing quite well on GOG.com. So there's that. And I was getting into a groove of playing the old series anyway, having by chance picked up SQ1VGA from the dust bin in my basement somewhere and giving it a whirl for the hell of it. It's a fun feeling knowing you can save a galaxy before breakfast and without breaking a sweat. Couple all that with the fact that I'm frankly head over heels in love with the social media phenomenon, even making a somewhat dirty living off it. And I figured, if anyone was going to dispense some Two Guys gospel on Google Plus, I wasn't going to wait around for Frans to do it. (Because he was totally going to do it. Yeah, I beat him to it. Totally.) So I guess, while we're on the subject, Frans can finally cross out the section in his About blurb about me quitting the hip scene around 2001. Until I get bored and ditch you guys all over again. But that won't happen for another six months. Maybe five. Seven. Give it seven. Here's the Google+ page I've been maintaining in Roger Wilco's dubious honor: http://gplus.to/rogerwilco And I've been making the mistake of getting on camera and making a fool of myself replaying some of the more infamous sections of the old classics. Yes, they're a total rip-off of the whole TGWTG phenomenon, and I don't care. They're fun to make. More to follow. Edit : Also, in case you didn't know, the Space Quest group on Facebook occasionally proves itself to be quite the fun little hangout, populated not only by old farts like me, but also lovable old farts like Josh Mandel and some of the artists at Sierra. So yeah. I'll try to check in here a little more frequently now, and I'll probably end up eating those words because I'm a terrible person. But I'll keep an eye on this thread and look forward to all the derogatory comments sure to follow. Happy trails!

Sledgy just sent me an e-mail where he almost pissed himself and said I should apply to do music for this. I thought he was joking, because even though I watched the trailer with the sound off, it took fully three minutes for my mouth to close. And I couldn't believe someone could piece together a trailer that looks this good and not have a musician attached. That still can't be true, right?

Hey, Akril! Thank you so much for recovering this game! It was a fun trip back to the good old days. I think I'm gonna start archiving the games Chris and I did together on my own site, so I'll never go without bad MIDI-music again.
