Space Quest
''Space Quest'' is a series of six comic science fiction adventure games released between 1986 and 1995. The games follow the adventures of a hopeless janitor named Roger Wilco, who campaigns through the galaxy for "truth, justice and really clean floors". Initially created for Sierra On-Line by Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy (who called themselves the "Two Guys from Andromeda"), the games parodied both science fiction properties such as ''Star Wars'' and ''Star Trek'' (the theme song itself is a parody of the ''Star Wars'' theme), as well as pop-culture phenomena from McDonald's to Microsoft. The series featured a silly sense of humor heavily reliant on puns and wacky storylines. Roger Wilco, a perpetual loser, is often depicted as the underdog who repeatedly saves the universe (often by accident), only to be either ignored or punished for violating minor regulations in the process. Development Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe, who had already worked together on the Sierra game '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The series was originally titled ''Hero's Quest''. However, Sierra failed to trademark the name. The Milton Bradley Company successfully trademarked an electronic version of their unrelated joint Games Workshop board game, ''HeroQuest'', which forced Sierra to change the series' title to ''Quest for Glory''. This decision meant that all future games in the series (as well as newer releases of ''Hero's Quest I'') used the new name. Series Lori Cole pitched ''Quest for Glory'' to Sierra as a "rich, narrative-driven, role-playing experien ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
