Sir Procestuous Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Anyone remember this contest from back in the day? I have a program that's a "walkthrough Gallery" of all the entries from the first year '02 I believe. I entered the following year but sadly the "Gallery" was never updated :( Here's a dl link if anyone's interested: https://rapidshare.com/files/3486800795/Wilconuim%20Museum.rar Might be fun to revive it to celebrate SpaceVenture :D pcj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcj Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I remember that! Great fun. Will suggest it as an idea to Chris - I know he wants to start up contests. Sir Procestuous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcj Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Gah, that game's controls are terrible. There is actually an easier-to-navigate version of the pictures themselves available at http://spacequest.wikia.com/wiki/Roger_Wilco,_Photoshopped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinfan Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 PCJ, speaking of contests can you remind the Guys that the twinkie nose entries never got acknowledged? They need some sort of prize, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcj Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Pretty sure he addressed that in an old podcast (and I know he's aware of it). I'll remind him though. penguinfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great idea! Wish it had been updated with more stuff to fill out the second floor. Fun idea to have a 3D museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Castaway Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I remember fondly perusing those entries some years ago...Would be nice to see what the Photoshop gifted among us could turn up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn_Ascii Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 http://spacequest.wi...o,_Photoshopped Hey, that third one from the end looks oddly familiar... ;) Yeah, that one was my doing. :D Janitor Bond - Cleaning Agent 007. The idea came from something in the Popular Janitronics magazine that came with SQ6, if I remember correctly. I should point out that, as the disclaimer on the image says, some of those sprites are *not* wholly my doing. A fellow named Nick Cross had a SQ fansite up that featured some really good CGI models of SQ ships/stations/planets, and some original sprites of SQ characters done in the cartoonish style of Space Quest 6. For the sake of making the poster, I needed all of the characters to be in the same, uniform style - something that I couldn't accomplish by myself since there was never any game where they all appeared together. Not being a good enough sprite artist to make them from scratch, I was forced to...ahem, *borrow* his SQ6-style sprites and alter them to make the gag work. IIRC, I e-mailed him for permission, but never got a reply. Better to beg for forgiveness, eh1? I distinctly remember that, while my entry didn't win any official prizes, it *did* win the 'People's Choice' award (which I think involved a forum poll for voting). I also remember that, at that point in my life, I was rather emo and thus got pissed and acted like a royal ass when the actual winning entries (which were fully-voiced video clips) completely outstripped my meager sprite-hacking abilities. But I'm all better now, mostly. Sorry about that. :( Speaking of videos, does anyone still have those somewhere? I distinctly remember one of them...a fake trailer for a drama film where Roger Jr. has to come to terms with Vohaul's mind being stuck inside his own (as a sort of second personality). I want to say there was at least one other video entry that year too, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was about... Would be nice to see what the Photoshop gifted among us could turn up now. Heh heh. I do have one (minor) pic I'd love to share...but sadly, it's Christmas-themed, which means you guys are going to have to wait a few weeks to see it. ;) I *do* have a SQ-related thingy to share that I recently turned up in the depths of my hard drive (see below), though it's not a picture edit. It's actually a Space Quest notepad that I made in a graphics editing/printing class/camp/thing I took back as a teenager. Drawn using a paint program, then run off by the obliging printing press folks into an actual writing pad. Sadly, the pad itself has long since been used up, although I did manage to save a page and scan it to share later. I apologize for the weird coloration; the method of printing they used didn't seem to mesh well with my scanner. It's supposed to be a uniform faded purple. 1) If you're still out there somewhere reading this, Nick...please don't sue me. pcj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akril Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Ah yes...fond memories of those contests, fond memories. I should point out that, as the disclaimer on the image says, some of those sprites are *not* wholly my doing.

IIRC, I e-mailed him for permission, but never got a reply. Better to beg for forgiveness, eh1?I remember that page. It had some of the best Space Quest fan art I'd ever seen when I first discovered it back in the day. Speaking of videos, does anyone still have those somewhere?

I want to say there was at least one other video entry that year too, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was about...I've definitely got the first video. (Yep, I actually saved it all these years.) Sir Procestuous and pcj 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn_Ascii Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Surely you don't mean the Dr. Vo flash made by Justas mjomble? Yes. No. Maybe? :unsure: I honestly can't recall either way. Argh, this is pissing me off...stupid crappy memory. I'm already painfully shy and socially dysfunctional, couldn't I at *least* have gotten photographic memory in exchange? :( I've definitely got the first video. (Yep, I actually saved it all these years.) YES. :lol: That's it, alright. I remember falling over laughing at the whole idea, especially when the 'Odd Couple' music kicks in.
