Anytime I watch one of these playthroughs and it says thank you for playing the game. I like to say thank you to the RU-vidr who played it. So thank you!
I tried playing this when I was kid, but the screaming guy in the blue shirt always scared me, I had NO idea what I was doing, and I didn't really understand that it was supposed to be funny. Good times.
you know.. I had this game when it came for free on my first computer and I was never able to get past the first stage. what can I say? I was 9 and I never had an instruction manual to this game. I kept getting killed by that patrolling robot and that screaming guy.
musizlover2008 You may have been caught out as some things are bases on clock speed, so as computers got faster some things like patrolling robot become impossible to beat. I had to install an app to run slow clock for these games after buying the Space Quest collection some years ago.
As it couldn't be another way, this delivery of the Space Quest saga is full of funny jokes. However, seeing Roger walk on high heels - like if he was walking onto eggshells - was a blast!
This is one of the earliest games I played, growing up. I think it was like 1993, I was 7 at that time. I got this game from a compilation package offered by a computer repair store, and back then my English was weak. Somehow I managed to play this game in a fun way, and still finish it with the help of Lycos. 😁
I remember beating this game back in the day but I played the version that was not the talkie version so it is nice to see what it would have been liked to play the talkie version.
Yes. Our family IBM PS2 couldn't even play the game. Probably not enough memory. I had to load it onto my mom's PC at her work to play it. That PC sadly didn't have a sound card or speakers so it was interesting to hear it now for the first time.
I never realized how many current voiceover actors also did work on these games! Im hearing people that also did work in Half Life and even Deathloop, more recently. What a trip!

17:01 My older brothers and I had this game when I was 7. My mom walked in at this part, and was so horrified by such "pornography" that she made us uninstall the game from the computer.
I had this game, but it was the original floppy version which lacked the voices. After installing Windows 95, the installation disks were somehow rendered completely unreadable, so I was never able to finish the game.
If Zondra wasn't upset with Roger after the slug creature, she definitely will be when she discovers her bank account is empty! Assuming these ATMs keep a visual record, that is.
Remember getting the original release in a whole 16 colors and on several 3.5" floppies for Christmas. Great game then and even better in 256 with Gary Owens!
as a kid , i was stuck at that shopping mall for more than a year, and gave up. after 20 years i know what had to be done, STUPID!!! Give some clues!!!
39:20 I was never able to get past this Stage because I always thought I had to find a way to knock the Guys off their Bikes and go through the Force Field
His name is "Yes Yes" if you think about it. Because in military terminology "Roger" means Yes, and "Wilco" stands for Will Comply (Yes). So his name means YES YES, lol!!!
44:60 IF THIS WAS KINGS QUEST 5, They would had allowed you to have enough Money to buy any Item, so you can still end up "Stuck" somewhere down the line
Always bothered me a bit how the narrator says "The powerful quad... quark, drives rev to life". They aren't driving rev... the quad-quark drives are revving to life.
It's a parody of an epilator, a device used primarily by women in the late 1980s that ripped body hair out by the roots rather than shaving it off, much like a professional waxing. They were indeed painful to use, especially on the first go.
I know right... This is how I rate the SQ games (from most to least favourite): 1. SQ 5. 2. SQ 4. 3. SQ 3. 4. SQ 1. 5. SQ 2. 6. SQ 6. I hated the 6th one (hence- last on my list).
@@TheInkPitOx - But the story really went down a different path and barely mentions SQ4 plot . 5 does okay with Beatrice being introduced, but SQ6 it's barely mentioned.
@@homerthompson8730 One thing about SQ6 (which is not mentioned in the 5th game), is that there are several references to a 7th game which never came to fruition.
well it gets a little complicated. The code to get back to SQXII Xenon, you need to jot down the code that appears the moment you enter the time machine the first time. This is important, before you press any button, you must jot down the existing code that the sequel police arrived with to SQXII at the beginning of the game. You need this to get back to this time-sector later. As for the code to get to Estros, I think you can input any random code for that and it will work. To get to SQ1 The Sarien encounter sector, you need the hint from the piece of gum from SQ10 in the bird's nest to get the first 3 digits AND use a manual that you bought from the software excess store to figure out the 3 other digits. Other codes are here: spacequest.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_known_time_codes
PART 2- To go back to the arcade galleria in SQ10, you need to jot down the code that the sequel police arrived with to the arcade before you input any other code. I hope that clarifies it?
Remember I had this game, Leisure Suite Larry and some other unplayable garbage on my old DOS pc in the early 90s. Inspired me to make my own game, since had had graphics and programming knowledge. This really gory cave adventure game where the main character fell into spikes if he made a wrong move with random sex scenes thrown in. Never released it of course. Maybe I should have.
Sure, if you know exactly what to do and where to go, and you're not stopping to look at, stroke, talk to and taste every object on every screen. :) (The narrator's responses to things like trying to drink battery acid out of the gutter and lick womens' arms are the best part!) I think it took me about two months to beat this game back when I was 11 years old. The legendary game Myst also takes about 2 minutes to beat if you know exactly where to go, you know. ;)
Ya see, this game was made back in the days when people still cared about 'gameplay'. If more people such as yourself would realize this, maybe modern games wouldn't be so terrible.
