Not bad if you're a nutter like me

I haven't quite finished these games, but I think I like them. However, I'm fond of old games like these, while most people prefer newer stuff. I was disappointed that Space Quest I was a remake, and not the original. In its new form it was extremely easy, but worth it in my opinion. I have not finished Space Quest II, because of a small bug which prevents my progress (tech support has not been good about getting back to me), but I like it very much so far. The story lines of Space Quest III and IV reminded me of bad fan-fiction, but I mostly play for the puzzles and I enjoyed them. Space Quest V is my favorite right now; the play was great and the writers did a good job making the plot less ridiculous, but still tying it in with the previous games. I haven't quite finished Space Quest VI, but so far I am not impressed. The puzzles are more complicated and engaging, but it is almost not worth the playing. The plot and characters do not mesh well with those of the previous games, and the stupid attempts at 3-year-old humor are disgusting (people picking their noses, eating earwax, etc.). Furthermore, it seems someone forgot to include the entirety of this game's manual. Apparently, some information necessary to complete the game was supposed to be in the manual, but I had to find it in an on-line hint site.

In summery, I have found these games to be entertaining and engaging, but not quite as good as the King's Quest and Laura Bow games.

Great games!

Great games! Any fan of adventure games will love these! All 6 games are here. Just like the other compilations but much cheaper because they are newer. The only problem with them is that they use the point-and-click remaker for the first game instead of the text parser, but that doesn't bother me very much.

No paper manuals??? only on disc

I don't know about the rest of you, but when I recently ordered my Space Quest (New) from AMazon, the game itself was great and works great only 1 issue: it looked used!

First off, there was no shrinkwrap. Second, the box was basically empty except for the disc in a paper sleeve. and one small peice of paper with loading instructions.

Other than that, the game is great and works well on Windows XP. A great resurrection of this classic game I enjoyed as a youth! Brings back memories.

Our janitor hero is back!

Thanks for reading.

I've played all the Space Quest games over the years (more hours than I will care to admit) from when computers were slow and I had to insert 20 disks to play the dang things! Sierra has done a great service by putting all the episodes on one CD. The manuals are there too for the copy protection stuff. It was great being able to play my all time favorite series once again! Also out there is Leisure Suite Larry and Kings Quest remastered for Windows XP! Enjoy! I know I will!

Ah, fun!

It's still funny after all this time! The early games can be tough to get through though. (How many times must I die?!) I highly recommend this if you don't mind old graphics and limited game play. :)

Doesn't work

It doesn't work on my modest 2.8ghz p4 with 1.5 gb ram machine. Buy at your own risk. It also gives errors of the same type I have to many other users according to the forums.

Installed this on a Dell that is less than a year old the screen image has the top half of the image on the botton and the bottom half of the image on the top. This is obviously irritating. E-mail Sierra support but have not received any reply.

Poor graphics- no enhancements

Definitely the original, unfortunately the graphics were not enhanced in any way and its difficult to play. It does work on Windows Vista but we have a large monitor and it looks terrible. We have to play it on the small laptop to get real use of the game. Wouldn't buy it again.

Fun game

Great game from back in the day. Graphics are a bit old but it's still a really fun game to play - nice to be able to enjoy it again in the 21st century.
