SPACE QUEST ADVENTURE GAME

Hello everyone, in this current lens I would like to tell you a little bit about my hobbies as a child.
In the 80's there was a huge trend in copmuter games.
That trend came from one company-SIERRA.The company created a lot of "quest games" one of my favoriets was Space quest.The game required a lot of thinking and I really liked it because it was also a challenge for me as a child.I personally think that the Space quest series are the best of all Sierra collection.
Roger Wilco (the hero of the game) is very funny and cool.In the game you will travel with him in a fantastic journey through Space. Space Quest is a series of six science fiction computer games that follow the adventures of a hapless janitor named Roger Wilco, as he campaigns through the galaxy for "truth, justice and really clean floors."

THE CRETORS

Scott Murphy ,Mark Crowe , Ken Williams

Initially created for Sierra On-Line by Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy (who called themselves the "Two Guys from Andromeda"), the games parodied both science fiction properties such as Star Wars and Star Trek, as well as pop-culture phenomena from McDonald's to Microsoft. The series featured a silly sense of humor heavily reliant on puns and wacky storylines. Roger Wilco, a perpetual loser, is often depicted as the underdog who repeatedly saves the universe (often by accident) - only to be either ignored or punished for violating minor regulations in the process.Scott Murphy comments that "Sierra was in a mindset where everything was medieval and it was all fairly serious. I wanted to do a game that was more fun. We even liked the idea of 'fun death'! I mean, if the player is gonna die or fail, they should at least get a laugh out of it. So we came up with the idea of making death amusing. Let's face it, most adventure games involve a good deal of frustration for the player. But we felt that if we made failure fun, to an extent, you might have players actually going back and looking for new ways to die, just to see what happens! " Although skeptical, Ken Williams gave the idea a shot. Scott and Mark created a short demo, which ended up becoming the first four rooms of Space Quest I, at which point Ken gave the project a green-light.

SPACE QUEST 1

SQ1

The original Space Quest game was released in October of 1986 and quickly became a hit, selling in excess of 100,000 copies (sales are believed to be around 200,000 to date, not including the many compilations it has been included in). It was remade and re-released in 1991.The game opens with Roger exiting from his comfy janitor's closet to the annoying klaxon of the Arcada's security alert system. It seems that his ship has been boarded by the ruthless Sariens, a reptilian race bent on galactic conquest. They have stolen the Star Generator--a powerful device capable of destroying entire star systems--and slaughtered the entire crew, sans Roger. Now, it's up to him to escape the ship before he meets the same fate as the rest of the crew, and somehow get back the Star Generator! The Sarien Encounter was a test to see if Sierra could launch a second quest series on the market. Released the same year as King%uFFFDs Quest 3, it featured the anti-hero Roger Wilco. This guy was to become one of the biggest names in the adventure genre! Who would have guessed that this simple-minded, low-class janitor would achieve such a status.

Roger, with his newfound status of Hero, is transferred to the Xenon Orbital Station 4 and promoted to head (and only) janitor. All is quiet until he is abducted by Sludge Vohaul, who was behind the original Sarien attack of the Arcada. As Roger is being transported to the Labion labour mines as punishment for thwarting Sludge's original plan, the prison ship crash-lands in a nearby jungle upon the planet. Our hero manages to escape his pursuers and the dangers of the Labion jungle and soon reaches Sludge's asteroid base. Once again, it's up to Roger alone to stop Vohaul's evil plan: to eradicate sentient life from Xenon by launching millions of cloned insurance salesmen at the planet.

SPACE QUEST 3

SQ3

Roger's escape pod from the end of SQII is captured by an automated garbage freighter. He escapes the robot-controlled scow by repairing an old ship, the Aluminum Mallard (a play on Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose" and Star Wars' Millennium Falcon). He eventually discovers the sinister activities of a video game company known as ScumSoft run by the "Pirates of Pestulon".Roger will begin his adventure drifting through space, still in the cryogenic sleep chamber he entered at the close of Space Quest 2. A robotic junk freighter detects the escape pod and hauls it aboard, considering it little more than scrap metal. This stirring awakens Roger from his cryogenic slumber.

ASTRO CHICKEN

ARCADE GAME

Astro Chicken was the name of an arcade game embedded in the 1989 Sierra On-Line graphical adventure Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon.
I personally enjoyed very much when I played this arcade game as a kid.
Gameplay consisted of attempting to land a chicken on a trampoline. The mechanics of the game were similar to those of Lunar Lander, with the exception that the chicken would rebound unharmed if it struck the trampoline too forcefully. When the chicken landed safely, it would exclaim "Bacock!"(The Astro Chicken was also in Space Quest 4 in a new version).

SPACE QUEST 4

SQ4

In this episode, Roger embarks on a wacky time-travel adventure through Space Quest games both past and future. A reborn Sludge Vohaul from Space Quest XII chases Roger through time in an attempt to finally kill him. Roger also visits Space Quest X: Latex Babes of Estros (whose title is a parody of Infocom's game Leather Goddesses of Phobos) and Space Quest I; in the latter, the graphics and music revert to the style of the original game and Roger is threatened by a group of monochromatic bikers who consider Roger's 256 colors pretentious.

Roger was also captured by beautiful women when he travels through time and visit Space quest 10.

In this episode Roger also meets his future wife BEATRIS, who joins with him againt the forces of evil. Beatrice Wankmeister (Bea for short) is the wife of Roger Wilco and the mother of Roger Wilco Jr.. She at one time held the position of ambassador in StarCon, until the Pukoid incident, when she accompanied Roger and his crew on the SCS Eureka. During this time Beatrice had been infected by the Pukoid and nearly died. Luckily Roger Wilco managed to save her life by freezing her to slow the spread while he sought a cure.

SPACE QUEST 5

SQ5

In Space Quest V, Roger is now a cadet in the StarCon academy. He graduates (or rather, cheats through the final exam) and is appointed captain of his own spacecraft (actually a space garbage scow). The main plot is to stop a mutagenic disease that is spreading through the galaxy by discovering its source, and fighting everyone that got infected. In the end, the disease infected the crew members of the SCS Goliath, a powerful warship, whose commander, Raemes T. Quirk (a rather blatant spoof of Captain Kirk, as portrayed by William Shatner), subsequently attacks the Eureka. In the end, Roger sacrifices his ship to get rid of the plague - and suddenly, if temporarily, becomes the commander of the fleet's flagship.By the way this is a great game because in this episode you actually command your own spaceshuttle.

SPACE QUEST 6

SQ6

Captain Roger Wilco triumphantly returns to StarCon headquarters - only to be court-martialed due to breaking StarCon regulations while saving the galaxy. He's busted down to Janitor Second Class, and assigned to the SCS DeepShip 86 (a parody of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), commanded by Commander Kielbasa, a Cowardly Lion look-alike whose name is taken from the polish sausage as well as being a play on the names of both the feline Kilrathi from the computer game series Wing Commander and of the character Mufasa from the animated motion picture The Lion King. His voice is a parody of Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The main villain in the game is a wrinkly old lady named Sharpei, a pun on the dog Shar Pei, a wrinkly dog.

The game's subtitle comes from the final portion, in which Roger has to undergo miniaturization and enter the body of a shipmate and romantic interest. (This segment also provided the game's original subtitle, Where in Corpsman Santiago is Roger Wilco?, which was not used due to legal threats from the makers of the Carmen Sandiego products.)

SPACE QUEST 7

Sierra has tried on several occasions to revive the series for another episode, with a working subtitle of "the Return to Roman Numerals", since the previous game was titled Space Quest 6, not Space Quest VI. Sierra went as far as contracting developer Escape Factory to storyboard and begin coding before withdrawing funding.

Development of Space Quest VII was underway in 1996 when Sierra released The Space Quest Collection, which consisted of Space Quest I through 6 and included a brief trailer of Space Quest VII (consisting of Roger strapping a giant rocket to his back and using it to push himself forward on roller skates). Little was released regarding story line, interface, et cetera, although there was speculation that the game would introduce a multiplayer aspect. Scott Murphy said during development that Space Quest VII would contain some 3D elements, but would not require the use of a 3D accelerator card. Due to poor sales of Grim Fandango, a high-profile adventure game by LucasArts, there was a perception that humorous adventure games were no longer viable, so when Vivendi Games took over Sierra, Space Quest VII was canceled.

ROGER WILCO

ABOUT THE HERO

A man whose very name is a pun on a radio communication protocol ("Roger Wilco" stands for "Received, Will Comply"), our man Roger was a friend of humor and tomfoolery from the very beginning. And if fairy tales and Hollywood movies are any indication, there is nothing we love more than a cool funny handsome stand up comedian who ends up saving the world - mostly by accident. Space pirates, deadly androids, and the worst pests of all - cloned insurance salesmen - are no match for a man with a plunger who doesn't ponder too much on silly things like consequences. Like Al Bundy with no family and a slightly better job, it was only a matter of time before Roger rose to galactic greatness and launched his 6 game career at Sierra On-Line (before it slipped into mediocrity). Sierra was even working on the 7th iteration of the adventure game, when it was announced that Roger would be mysteriously "unavailable" in this installment. This turned out to be a fatal mistake, and Roger's revenge was brutal - the game unfortunately never came out,anyway I hope we will be able to see Roger in action again.Only the stupid mess with the man who controls their toilet.

Roger Wilco

The character Roger Wilco ranked #5 in Computer Gaming World's November 1996 listing of the 15 most memorable game heroes.
