ok... this is old skool... and i mean old... older than some of the people in our class... but i love these games and grew up playing them... they are .. Space Quest... starring the lovable janitor Roger Wilco... i recently came to learn that Sierra re-released all these games with a dos emulator sooo i had to get a hold of them...
these games feature a genre not too popular amongst today's gaming crowd... the point and click adventure games... where you simply move your character around by clicking squares and using commands to investigate items and people... its sorta like the cheesy CSI games out there... only sci-fi and silly...
graphically these were pretty intense for the day... and with the re-release... ive gotten to seen the early ones with updated vga friendly graphics... however i miss the outrageous sprite driven pixelated graphics...
story is pretty genuine... since there were few games out at the time to compare to... but still it remains pretty genuine
sounds were terrible.... 8 bit sound for a sci-fi game is a bit much for me... the shrill alarms made my ears bleed...
these games and the genre were the forefathers for the simple flash games you see on websites like stickdeath.com ... a genre missed by a few loyal fans...
