Best Adventure Games Ever Made

Space Quest was an instrumental part of my upbringing. I literally learned to type playing these games. The universe created by Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy has stuck with me in the many years since. Space Quest blends humor, sci-fi, and classic adventure game mechanics to deliver an incredibly fun and rich experience. Drawing from classic science fiction tropes, Space Quest delivers a world of space-aged adventuring with a humble twist. Playing as janitor Roger Wilco, you're thrust into a world of aliens, space conflict, backwater bars, asteroid fortresses, fast food space stations, and more. SQ2 and SQ3 are my favorite of the series and playing them back-to-back provides a super fun story transition. These games stoked my imagination more than any other video game before or since. Don't let the "antiquated" graphics hold you back-- the pixel art is actually beautiful and the gameplay stands up today. I can't recommend this series enough.

Real gamers wanted

I get that the current crop of gamers are used to the current trend of guided path, unlimited weapons and lives along with lootboxes and paid for DLC. You can tell by the harsh ratings people give these older Sierra games which were and are still some of the best strategy and stories in gaming. Sure they may not be your style but just because you give up when the game gets harder does not make it a bad game. It just makes you a bad gamer. Games are intended to entertain and challenge the player, not coddle them with artificial level enhancements and skin upgrades. I have played these games at launch and over the years. Its fine if you do not like this type of game but do not down rate something because it is not a FPS(which I love as well) or a mmo.

Almost 5 Stars... If...

... I would have given 5 stars if this package included the EGA version of Space Quest 1. I am not certain why it is missing as the other games (such as King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry - and I think Police Quest?) include the EGA versions of the first game, not just the remakes. Would be great to get the EGA version added! But honestly, that said - this bundle includes Space Quest III which is my favorite of the Space Quest series! If you've not played any Space Quest games... well, brace yourself for some humorous saves! Save early, save often, and make multiple saves!

Interstellar!

Waking up in a broom closet is one thing. The sudden realization once you leave the closet that you're a defenseless janitor surrounded by invading parties on a starship about to blow up is quite another. Welcome to the wonderfully wacky world of Roger Wilco. Space Quest has stood as one of Sierra's most endearing and popular series from start to finish. Starting off in the shoes of your ordinary space janitor and ending up as savior of the universe (well, okay, not always) would require excellent storytelling and compelling gameplay. Fortunately, the first three games have all of these in spades, and then some. Also of note are the nice (if slightly frustrating) mini-games, the in-joke references to various science fiction works, and ending with the feeling that being a space janitor is actually quite a risky business. These games are a good foundation for what comes after (namely, the brilliantly-done Space Quest IV), and deserve every bit of your gaming buckazoid.

The Original Trilogy in all their glory!

I still enjoy playing the Space Quest series. But mostly the first three. I'm happy I now have the games thanks to GOG. Plenty of humor. Thanks!
