Oops. Looks Like Roger is in trouble…

(From SQ1; I wouldn’t want Fien to get even more mad at me today for not mentioning the name of the game. Tongue )

One of my absolute favourites from childhood!

Cornfed Pig: You parked in a handicapped zone.
Duckman: Who cares? Nobody parks there anyway, except for the people who are supposed to park there and, hell, I can outrun them anytime.

Ah, the primary cause of my hatred for early Sierra…

Never even got to that particular screen. I never even managed to get rid of the robot spider thingy in the desert. God I hated that game…

I know. Goes to show how far I got in the game if I didn’t even get to that screen… Tongue

I thought Space Quest one of the easier Sierra games, whose games I’m usually crap at. The linearity of most of the SQ games gave you limited options so you only needed to try a few things to proceed.

I agree, though I’ve struggled with many Sierra games, I completed most of the SQ games without any assistance at a very young age, the first around the age of 9. I remember finding the third SQ to be particularly easy for a Sierra title.

Good to know that. I started it a few days ago.

Never liked the SQ series much. I always found everything extremely frustrating in those games. Odd how that wasn’t the case with King’s Quest 5 and 6 (the only ones I truly like).

Me too! In fact, nostalgia is what keeps me from replaying them, in fear that having grown up I might not like them as much anymore Tongue

Very odd, especially since “extremely frustrating” would be the perfect description for a puzzle where you have to use honeycomb on a random piece of ground on a random path next to a random bush so King Graham can squeeze the honey out to catch a little pixie which runs out and gets stuck in the honey (KQV)
