New Space Quest Game Under Development?
Decaffeinated Jedi writes: "In a news item posted earlier today, GameSpot stated that they 'had learned from sources working on the project that Sierra is developing a new game in its classic Space Quest sci-fi adventure game series.' While GameSpot didn't give go into detail about the game, it looks like Roger Wilco is finally making a comeback! Check out Roger Wilco's Virtual Broomcloset for all the latest developments."
I remember it well...
I was stuck in a cantina and needed some cash. There was a slot machine there, but being a young wholesome lad, I knew better then to gamble. Then I realized that I could save games between pulls. How can it be gambling if you never lose? Soon I was rolling in buckazoids and have done nothing but sink deeper into depravity since...
I've been a big fan of Sierra games, and Space Quest games in particular, ever since I was a kid. And then we got a multimedia kit which included Space Quest 4 as a bundle-in. Man, I was in hog heaven. This wasn't a game with cheap multimedia features slapped on. It was a gem, with formerly textual dialog spoken by the characters (with real lip-sync and great voice acting). And a narrative (a staple for any Space Quest game) provided by none other than Gary Owens, the voice of Powdered Toast Man! Hearing him say that I've been a real pantload when I die makes me crack a smile.

jeeee, it's more nowegians out here who owe sierra their english... althoug i remember a place in SQ I, when i was stuck over a acid bath clingin on to a plunger(i still don't know wath those things are called in norwegian):
>fuck plunger
"you really don't want to do that"
And maybe, just maybe, if this one doesn't get as much pirated as the previous games (and doesn't suck), we will be able to see and play Space Quest X and Space Quest XII (remember SQ4: The Time Rippers"?), and Sim Sim, and kill that damn Energizer Bunny!
SQ3 was the best of course. =)

We had this guy from Yugoslavia who started playing on the MUD I run. The problem was, he'd learned all his English from IRC and battle.net. The poor guy thought that l33tsp33k was actual English, possibly because vowel-less "thx" and "ttfn" and whatnot kind of resemble Serbo-Croatian.
He had a great grasp of English, but it was completely unreadable.
All employees must wash hands before seeking equitable relief.
I mean, what can be more irritating than playing through much of the game only to have your innards burst open at the end because of a silly fling you had earlier in the game?
A good lesson in long-term consequences.

Crap man! You should have warned people about that, you're such a troll. **WORSE** then the goat sex people!
I did EXACTLY as the previous poster stated, stuck a big magnet to the slot machine, and then my monitor started changing colors. I took the magnet away (and stuck it back onto my fridge) and now I have a GIANT PURPLE SPOT on my screen. I reboot the computer, and nothing happens.
