There is a second way to kill the terminator. You go up the shop keepers monster, to the top of the tower. Then you swing the rope and pulley at him at just the right moment. He falls into the gears.
By far, my favourite old school Sierra game of all time, not including Quest for Glory 1 and 2 of course! Everything just meshes so well in this game. It's almost like a Nintendo game, where there isn't much story, but the gameplay and settings blow my mind more than in any other Sierra game! We still haven't seen a more beautiful location than Phleebhut, Ortega or Pestulon!
When he leaves the ship with his Thermoweave Underwear on to negate the heat I thought to myself .... Lucky He's wearing his Kelvin Klein's today :-) lol
I remember going to the mall about an hour before the shops opened with money I had earned mowing lawns to buy this game. It will always be one of my favorites.
Thanks for uploading. This was one of my first computer games I ever owned. Back in the day my computer could only display about 4 colors so it was so nice to be able to see this game in full color. Just picked up the complete Space Quest collection on Steam. Great memories!
There are definitely two ways to kill the Arnoid. Back in the day I only knew of the method shown here as I figured out once I died once this way, to lure the Arnoid and take him out. It wasn't until much later playing the game that I even wondered to the other screen and saw that you could go inside the dino thing. I then eventually figured out the second method. However, the method shown here gives you 10 more points as it is considered more difficult to do it this way. He also doesn't show what happens if Roger orders a #6 at Monolith...in addition to the #7..LOL
Sad that Space Quest series never achieved the same level of popularity that Kings Quest received :-( Kings Quest was fun, but Space genre games and movies are my favourite. Hence Space Quest will forever be in my heart!
Great you show it with the MT32 sound. This is such a whack combination. The images were rather junk 16-colour EGA, but the Roland MT32 MIDI module offered a sound quality unheard for the late eighties. It would still be a capable game sound machine today. Nice virtual analog filters, pretty decent reverb and other effects, good polyphony/multitimbrality. It was based on components from the Roland D50 synth and the D10 synth, hence the great sound. People who played this on Adlib had no idea how great it could have been.
I like how the rats were just there to be a pain in the ass to steal the reactor. I was thinking, "Oh, great, how do I defeat the giant rat who mugs me?" You don't. Just go back and get it again, and the rats are like "Fuck it, just let him have it."
Also kind of nonsensical that the rat would mug you and then put the reactor EXACTLY where it was in the first place! Then again, maybe that hole in the wall was his home and he was a packrat? Who knows?
Bob Siebenberg created the music to this game and he was the drummer for the popular '70s band Supertramp (he was the sole American in the band). So that means the music you hear created in this game was created by an experienced musician, one from a highly successful band too.
OMG SQ3 Brings back the BEST memories of playing this with my dad when I was just a kid. My dad and I would play these games for hours, no cheat book, no google to get hints. You really could get hung up on a solving a puzzle back then. If I remember right some developers would have a 1-900 paid “Hint-Hotline” you called them on the phone and you could try and get help. Don’t remember if Sierra was one of them but we never spent money like that in our house. Nooooooo. Lol. Just sent my dad a text with a pic of “Deceleration Trauma” we thought that was so funny back then. Turning 49 this month and I wish it didn’t take me this long to realize just how AWESOME!!!! my dad was and still is!!!!
My first Space Quest! Played on a Commodore PC-30 III with an amber monitor, I think. Great game. Gotta play it again one of these days. Works with ScummVM on any modern PC.
Wow I haven't played this game since around 1990. These games were so very fun. I had this game completely memorized, but now im forgetting things though. I think the office part is my favorite.
i love these role paying games which eventually develooped into games like Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Mass Effect. still love the old school games where you type and read and move with the cursor lol
Wish this genre of game, and more importantly Sierra, could have endured the test of time. We may have actually gotten to a point where it would have been interesting to see what they did with Space Quest X since it was actually part of Space Quest IV's story line. Alas, unfortunately we'll never know. I like to think in another reality, other me, got to enjoy Space Quest 7 and beyond.
This one gets extremely meta towards the end, what with the programmers of the game in the game talking to the CEO of the company that issued the game.
Wow, alternative way to destroy terminator. That make sense buying orat stick, always wondered, what use if it. Me and my cousing get rid of this badass guy, luring him in attic of building, and use grappling hook to push him in shredder
It is running on a MIDI connected MT-32 module, a dumbed down Roland D50 in a box with virtual analog synthesis and some nice virtual analog filters. The poster probably used the emulator, not a real MT32.
been trying to find this for a really long time....3:44 had always been etched in my memory, the very first part....as the first memory from the first video game I ever played. I think I was 3 or 4. maybe even younger.... But I always remembered this image for some reason. As young as I was, I never could progress past it since I literally couldn't read or use a keyboard haha.... Damn, I finally found the first game I ever played.
Exactly! Absolutely loved this game, but they dropped the ball, when it came down to it's length. But, on the other hand, games weren't very long in those days, anyways.
@@1337fraggzb00N love the space quest games, but sq 1 and 2 are the best ones in my book. Probably much because I spent more time on them. Literally took me months to get past the laser in sq1. And I still remember the phrase "rub berries" from sq2. English is not my first language and I was like 9 when I played it. So it was not easy to find the correct words. :)
Never understood how I never finish with a perfect score when watching these things.. Only thing different from my recent play through was killing the cyborg with the gears
**WHEN ROGER FIRST ENTER THE OFFICE, THE GUY IS SUPPOSED TO CO,ME N CHECK U OUT AND THEN UR SUPPOSED TO ""VAPORIZE"" THE FIRST FEW CANS ON THAT SCENE, OR ELSEW THE ""GREEN JELLO THING""" WILL COME N GET YOU!!!!!, HOW YOU MANAGED TO GET AWAY FROM IT ON THE FIRST SCREEN, IDK....**
How come the soundtrack sounds so freaking awesome in this longplay ? Sounds absolutely nothing like a pc game initially released in 1989, and actually better than Space Quest IV released two years later...
Thanks so much for uploading! Which Space Quest game was it where you go into a shop and there's a purple alien guy talking to you, and some really funky music in the background? I was like 9 years old last time I saw that, and the song had been stuck in my head ever since!
Ahh...Pleasant memories of being 5 years old in 1994 and playing this, not getting out of the garbage area because I could barely read and write let alone type coherent commands to the game. Thank you SIERRA for my childhood and thank you the the uploader of this video for jogging my memory/nostalgia!
This PS1 & LSL1 were the only sierra games I beat without cheating... Its funny how I still remember most of the scenes lol. I didnt have an adlib or soundblaster card at the time so hearing the audio this way was pretty cool .. much better then the PC speaker! Also, didnt this come in VGA as well? I thought I remember playing it in VGA?...
SQ3 was EGA. .SQ4 was the first one in VGA . also this sound is from a Roland, aDlib or soundblaster didn't sound this good... (still a lot better than speaker of course)
The Adlib/SEGA Genesis sound similar but they are not. The Adlib uses the YM3812 sound chip while the genesis uses the YM2612 or the YM3438 sound chip.
Nice thing about these early Sierra adventure games is that there was usually more than one way to do something. The other way to kill Arnoid was to lure him to the top of the dino structure and throw the sliding hook at him, knocking him over the rails and down to his death.
Indeed it is. I wish that I had been able to convince my parents to not get rid of it or the old 486dx2 PC. We had so many of these old games in their original big boxes dating all the way back to the early 80's. So many memories from my childhood flood back when I think about or see these Sierra games.
