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 ;)

    and all games did not use variants of the same plot. Over and over again.

    Yeah, but they own the rights to the characters and the names of the characters, so, yes, they could sue for copyright and/or trademark infringement.

    Don't believe me? Put a picture of Mickey Mouse on your Website and watch how fast you get a cease and desist order from Disney!

    For most people, such is an unfortunate side effect of becoming an adult. Today's kids don't seem to be having any trouble enjoying current games as much as I did the old ones.
