Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter
 

"Hey, WAKE UP! While Roger was napping in the broom closet, aliens hijacked his starship and made off with the top-secret Star Generator. And if Roger can’t get it back, the universe as we know it is toast! Blast off into a spacey saga with the look of a classic 50’s sci-fi film plus silly humor, hideous puns and outrageous situations."
