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. :)

Worth it, but not as good as the nostalgic hype

The games were fun, but not engrossing. There were a couple of mild glitches where the controls did not react fast enough for the challenge that your character is facing so it is difficult to complete certain levels, especially on episode 2.

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.

that's a go, Wilco!

you must have DOS Box to play, it comes with it. I recommend downloading the latest version and getting better sound out of the games! GM or Roland support in 7.2 the current as of this writting. You need to take a bit of time read that tutorial of theres to get anything done with it! The games themselves are five aces all the way. The fact it doesn't play in XP is MS's fault. Great space parody of movies across the board from mainly Star Trek(prominent in Space Quest V Next Mutation-odvious title and in jokes to boot) Also in jokes here and there from Star Wars, Buck Rogers(In the Twenty Fith century), Flash gordon, and some less known movies that were total crap anyway. Also pun jokes of badly written video games true gamers would be able to relate to that humor as why a store you visit is drawn too cheaply becasue the "writers of the game" as Roger put it "Were to CHEAP to implenmet better graphics!" MS jokes are also, belevie it or not, thrown in. Surprisng as DOS is an A+ system! Love the narrator's voice(Roger Ramjet guy!) in IV, VI. The six games I played/dreamed of since H.S back in the 80's. Much like King's Quest, Police Quest, QUest for Glory(hero's QUest) but rediculously funny instead of using logic you use Roger Wilco "logic" To solve a puzzle. Juvenile delinquency and childish pranks gets you more than professionalism. Your trusty toilet plunger and a few buckazoids is all it takes! Great game for the adult in you and the child in you too!

Relive and old Timeless Classic

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!

Great fun! (though still a little flaky)

It had been years and years since I played my brother's copies of Space Quest IV and V, and this was a terrific flashback for me! This is great for anyone who gets a sense of nostalgia from the old games. They haven't been redesigned or anything, just updated to run on current computers.

It's not without its faults, though. There's a few minor visual glitches (I keep getting a "shadow" of the previous screen on mine every time it changes screens), and some faster computers may have issues with processor time--my processor was too fast to allow me to escape the time police guys in the mall scene, and I had to download a patch to fix it. If third parties have figured out how to fix the bugs, surely they could have done it themselves?

Still, a true lover of these games will forgive the minor glitches. This is especially great for people like me who had the anthologies created for Win95 and were disappointed when they wouldn't work in XP.

Bad Amazon

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.

Cheers for Roger Wilco on XP

Like Police Quest, I loved the Space Quest series. I found SQ1-3 were easy enough to play and 4and 5 were a little more difficult. I cant say much about SQ5 because mine wouldnt run. Anway the series is centered on Roger Wilco who is a janitor looking for adventure. My ultimate favorite is SQ3. Roger was on a spaceship in its trash room and he had to somehow find a ship and get out quickly. He then learns the creators of games were captured at a facility were they are being held prisioner. Roger finds a spaceship and is taken to far off planets and fights for his life against Arnoid (funny). You get to partake in a dogfight with your spaceship as well as eat at an interstellar McDonalds.

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.
