Fan-Made Space Quest Prequel Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the flash-from-the-past dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Earlier this week, a new fan-made prequel to Sierra's Space Quest series, Space Quest 0: Replicated, was released. Designed by Jeff Stewart, Replicated features a hilarious story centered on cloning, retro graphics and interface, and tons of the wacky death scenes that made the SQ games famous in the first place. You can download Replicated at the Virtual Broomcloset." I adored Space Quest in my younger days... not sure if this will be worth it, but it brings a tear to my eye to see new AGI games being fan created ;)

    These people will have to restore a saved game, but it won't happen again.



    It seems like this latest version can prohibit you from bad drinking habits. It must be a programmers dream to be able to correct buggy users.

    Forget copyright violations - How long before it's shut down for bandwidth loss due to slashdotting?

    So a prequil to Space Quest was completed by a hobbiest before Duke Nukem Forever was completed by a full-blown company? Not bad. Maybe the DNF creaters should license out to this guy if they are ever going to get that game out.
