New Space Quest Game Under Development?

Posted by Hemos on from the hey-roger dept.

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."

  1. Space Quest taught me to cheat... by Champaign · · Score: 5, Funny

    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...

  2. Memories... by BitwizeGHC · · Score: 3, Funny

    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.

  4. Re:Sierra taught me English. by ArsSineArtificio · · Score: 4, Funny

    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.

  5. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! by stefanlasiewski · · Score: 3, Funny

    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.
