I've been playing the space quest games since I was a young kid. In fact, I remember the very first Space Quest game to come out. Since then, I've played an won every single episode. They get better as you go and they're all totally hysterical! These games are a must see!

I can't believe how little people have played this amazing game. the first one i ever played was Space Quest 3 The pirates of pestulon and i still think it is the best one. All my friends at school have never heard of it. I would recommend this game to everyone over the age of 13. And i recently tryed to start playing kings quest again but it wont work on my Windows XP can anyone help me?

This collection of games, brought to you by Sierra, involves constant consentration and challenging situations whith the usual Sierra twist. From the early Space Quest I to the newest Space Quest VI you will find difficult challenges that require you to be alert to the game.

Don't Declare Darkness the Standard

How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb? None. They declare darkness the standard. Space Quest used to be my favorite computer game. Over time and three upgrades, it finally didn't work at all. It's not like I didn't keep buying it every time they repackaged it. Surely the CD Rom versions must be updated. But no, the word "classic" on the package is apparently meant as a synonym for incompatible.

Sierra apparently named their "help" line on Opposite Day. They know these games won't play and that's as helpful as they get. They could adopt the strategy of another software company and make you keep buying upgrades. Sierra's tactic instead is simply to improve the packaging and not the product. Here's a crazy idea: why not bring back the funnest game(s) of all time and make it work with the Mac, the best computer of all time? Or would that overly raise the standard?

I own all 6 of the Space Quest series; the first five from the first collection.
I've played most of them and ended the first three.
The humour is great. I can't say I didn't love it. (In part 2, you'll have to let an angry monster explode by throwing a can of super-compact-water towards him. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! ;-) )
I love the series and can't wait to buy the seventh.
Sierra is one of the finest still around, (I suppose if some of the older companies were still around, they would still be on the top five of my list, but just barely) and this series is good enough to be remembered and played for ages to come.
I never get tired of playing the old SQ-games.

Space Quest is an uproarious game about a brave and heroic janitor named Roger Wilco. Through various quests, Roger must romance a captain, save a planet, defeat an evil robot, and protect the world from the nefarious Sludge Vouhaul. Play these games one-by-one and you'll be on your side laughing. For REALLY big Laughs check out Space Quest 4, Space Quest 6, and the Space Quest 7 preview!

SQ3 - That "1989" Action Adventure Game Marvel

Sierra before Half-Life

- We played SQ1 on EGA and loved its interface, space, characters and fun.
- We played SQ2 on EGA because SQ1 was just so good.
- Then we got SQ3 and it was as good as the "Star Wars" story the first time we played it... start in a dumpster, move across the galaxy, save the world.

It is all about the Story of Roger Wilco, the sad anti-hero of these games, just go play Space Quest 3 first and then play the rest. Space Quest 3 was amazing for its time. Roger actually had a sad end because the genre sort of died after Lucas Arts made Grim Fandango.

Janiter in Space

Six hillarious episodes of Space's greatest janiter, er hero this side of Epsilon XI. Controlling Roger Wilco is a fantastic experiance. What the game lacks in mindbending puzzles from other RPGs it makes up for in hilarity. Gary Owens does naration for some of the episodes and his deadpan on Rog's goofups are fantastic! A must for any humor fan!

Great game, Unfortunately.........

This is one of the best adventure game series out there, if not the best. However, just because this package here is no longer in production does not mean that it is a collector's item. No game is worth $... If you really want this game, go to a certain well known auction website and find it for less than $...SERIOUSLY. The same can be said for the Kings Quest collection. The older Lucas Arts adventure games (Sam & Max, Manaic Mansion) are in my opinion just as good as any Space Quest game. But you won't find the out-of-print Lucas Arts Archive package on sale anywhere for hundreds of dollars. In fact, you can find it used at this very website for only $... Space Quest is a great game, but no home video game in existance is worth over $...no matter what.
