BlockMaster 67 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I found these lines in the source code of Space Quest III : "Looks like this bird's in good shape.", "So, how do you like the game so far? Was it worth $59.95?" "Hey, we're hungry. We haven't eaten anything but jello for the last few weeks." "I hafta go to the bathroom." "Can't you make this crate go any faster?" "Just between you and me, I think ol' Wilco's been in space too long." What does that means? There is no bird in Space Quest III, and they mention the game's price. I wonder if you know something about this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is no bird in Space Quest III. I wonder if you know something about this. Best guess: it refers to the Aluminum Mallard in the garbage freighter; "bird" being slang for airborne vessel.

Troels Pleimert 748 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 The price thing: I think one of the Two Guys says that if you leave the game alone for too long after springing them from the jello. Or maybe if you talk to them. Sure, I could check, but I'm lazy. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spikey 86 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I think I've seen the 59.95 one, and the jello one refers to the Guys after their jello prison. The crate one and the faster one I think are in-game too.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MusicallyInspired 505 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 All of those are lines from the Two Guys when you're sitting in the Aluminum Mallard after rescuing them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dat Engineer 109 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 The "bird" line is specifically referring to what the narrator says when you view the status monitor in the Aluminum Mallard, and all the parts are completely functional.

BlockMaster 67 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I also found this line : "You've been getting some mighty strange ideas from playing 'KQ II', haven't you? You loose 5 points." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlockMaster 67 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 And this : " The quakes started by the detonator have broken open a huge crack in the planet surface, which you and everything else in the vicinity have fallen into. The super-heated magma does a quick work of boiling you alive." Strange, because I don't remember that you have a limited time to escape Ortega after you blow up the generator.

Troels Pleimert 748 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Strange, because I don't remember that you have a limited time to escape Ortega after you blow up the generator. I've gotten myself killed here tons of times, mainly because I usually crank the game speed (I'm impatient) and that also cranks the in-game timer. Sometimes I don't even make it out of the shield generator's ground floor before getting my ass blown to bits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A bit late, but yes, if you do take too long to escape Ortega, (skip to 2:30 in this video). I also found this line : "You've been getting some mighty strange ideas from playing 'KQ II', haven't you? You loose 5 points." That's from the code from the scene with the snake. I'd think typing "bridle snake" would trigger it, but I haven't been able to make that happen in the game.

I'd think typing "bridle snake" would trigger it, but I haven't been able to make that happen in the game. I think the trigger phrase is "bridle cruncher". Why they call it a cruncher, I have no idea. The synonyms "crusher", "grinder", and "shredder" also work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
