SQ4 was my first adventure game. I don't think I understood half the references when I played the first time and should reply the series at some point.
As a warning, some of the Sierra approach may seem obtuse or rough today. IIRC several of their games have actions that look like they do something, but make the game unwinnable later on, with no immediate signal or later explanation of what you did wrong.
But there is the internet for this, and they should run on several platforms via either dosbox/scummvm? The SQ collections are on sale on both gog and steam right now, around $6 for the whole series.
- danieldk 5y agoI loved Space Quest 4. I still remember that near the end you are at some mainframe and is has a faux Windows 3.1-like interface. I think you had to drag some stuff to the trash to free up mainframe memory. There is also a Space Quest 4 icon. If you drag it to the trash (as a 10-11 year old kid, of course you are going to try), the game quits to DOS immediately, no warnings, no save game.
