BlockMaster Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi guys. Recently, I started searching the Space Quest folders, without finding too much special stuff. I wonder if some of you still have the beta versions of some Space Quest games, so I could search that for new hidden secrets. If so, could you send a virus-free copy to download please? Just a question, not an obligation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collector Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Activision does hold the IP, so it is best to not ask for such things publicly. We don't want to do anything that might have a negative influence on them releasing the SQ IP to the Two Guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 It really sucks, though, because the earlier versions are the ones with the fun stuff in it; like the Ken Williams easter egg in SQ1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlockMaster Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I made a personnal Messenger post. Look at that instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcj Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Might try Googling it. It looks like some fans have their hands on it. http://www.akril15.com/sr/sq5alt/sq5alt.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I have the version of SQ1 with Ken. I also had the SQ5 beta...or I thought I did. I never actually tried it and now I can't seem to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Procestuous Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I have the betas of SQ4 & 5, as well as the "Ken Williams" Easter Egg version of SQ1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlockMaster Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Could you send a download link in a private message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Procestuous Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 There's also a rumored rare early release of Space Quest III. I'm not sure of how vast the differences are, but one confirmed/rumored difference is the Mallard's computer screen spells the "Light Speed" button as "Lite Speed"...

BlockMaster Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Wow, I didn't know I had a beta version of Space Quest III. I never really thought about the "Lite Speed" spelling as something unusual. I got that version with Space Quest Collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frede Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Interesting. I remember seeing "Lite Speed" plenty of times in that game. Maybe I'm mixing things up, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomimt Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 There's also a rumored rare early release of Space Quest III. I'm not sure of how vast the differences are, but one confirmed/rumored difference is the Mallard's computer screen spells the "Light Speed" button as "Lite Speed"... I've played this version. An old IT teacher of mine who used to hold computer clubs for the kids in the 80's and early 90's always let us play games after all the boring stuff was done and SQ3 was one of them. I remember always being puzzled, with everyone else, because of the lite speed button. I think I still might have my.... uh... back up copy of it somewhere. It is on floppies though, so I just as well might have thrown it away ages ago. Besides I don't even have a floppydrive anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
