I had forgotten about the test.
Great game, probably the best of the series, and perhaps the best Sierra quest game, period.

Not a fan, i thought part 5 was the worst of the Space Quest games.

Part 1, 2 and 3 were the best ones, 4 was merely ok, part 6 i haven´t tried.

That's a great scene, you actually get more points for cheating than if you answer the questions by yourself

Probably the best Space Quest game. And a nice scene.

I also thought that 5 was the best Space Quest. I found 1EGA and 2 to be mostly dull myself. (1VGA had a lot of charm, though).

3 was great, but it didn't really go anywhere until halfway through the game, and sort of just flopped around aimlessly until then. 6 had more or less the same problem.

4 was great in the beginning and endgame, but the middle bit felt a bit aimless.

5 is probably the only SQ game that felt to me like it had a cohesive plot and a consistent progression of said plot, as well as the requisite weird characters and spoofy jokes. About the only thing I could lament about it is the lack of Gary Owens.

And speaking of cheating...

Spoiler:
You actually *have* to cheat on the test to progress in the game. If you put in all the correct answers without cheating you still fail the test. I wonder what that says about StarCon.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Oh man, Space Quest V is great. I remember that was the first game I had to buy a hintbook for because I didn't know how to get past WD-40...

I actually just replayed through the fourth one, and that scene of the day is making me wish I installed the fifth one on my laptop on the same time, haha.
