Ripper Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I always finished Space Quest 6 with 498 points. Some people said that the maximum possible points are 500. There is a points list here: http://www.spaceques.../sq6/pointlist/ But there are two mistakes: __________________________________________________ Go to the Orion's Belt and kick in the basement door - 1 I can't get this 1 point. Only this one works: Open the basement door - 3 __________________________________________________ Untangle the hookah hoses - 3 I only got 2 points for this action. __________________________________________________ The maximum possible points are 498 or 500?

Phantomj Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hi Ripper, This is my first post here and I too ran into the same issue of looking at that points list after receiving the 498 final score. So I copied it and slowly made my way back through the game and made changes and corrections to it to make it flow better. The max score is indeed 498, but with the bug mentioned you can get 501 for the max score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Engineer Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 It seems there are many different versions of Space Quest 6, so differences in the point list may also depend on which version of the game you happen to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomj Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yeah that could definitively be the case. I think Ripper and I have the XP Collectors edition. What other versions are out there for SQ6? I'm now curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 IIRC, the points system in SQ6 is bugged up the ass. Sometimes the game won't give you points for an action; other times, it will. For instance, kicking down the Orion's Belt door ALWAYS gave me points. But the "I got points" noise and the "door busts" noise plays at the same time, so you barely notice. There COULD be discrepancies between e.g. the US retail and the European version that I don't know about ... other than we got the suckier box cover. ;) There was an old version where you could get 999 points by revisiting the Isle of Langerhans over and over again, but it never worked in my version.

Phantomj Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well at least we got to play a game all though it was rushed, it could have been worse they could have canned it. The other thing that sucks is the points bug in the cd-rom version of SQ4 on the xp collectors edition. I had to locate the dos version to be able to get the max points.
