Good chance most - maybe all of us - have all played at least one Space Quest (you should really play all of them if you haven't!) - what have been some of your favorite Space Quest games - and what are some of your favorite memories about each one (can be about the game, or a memory that the game triggers).
I remember being at a summer camp where they let us use computers for very short intervals. Space quest in all it's glory was on the screen, though I didn't know this. I don't think anyone got off the ship, but it was fun. Then a couple decades later, my best friend/ brother showed me several Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest games etc. He was a major fan of Sierra, still is. So imagine my surprise when while playing the VGA things started to look familiar. Lo and behold he had SQ1. Loaded it up in a dos box and let me have a shot. I was overjoyed when the light clicked. So much so I picked up the SQ collection as soon as I was able off steam. I also recall seeing a copy of Leisure suit larry 3 in a random Zellers in Ottawa. Too weird.
Space Quest 3 was my favorite of the series - followed closely by Space Quest 4 (which is ironic, as I tend to dislike time travel type stories) - but since this poked fun at it - and also had a guest appearance of the Energizer Bunny (which for some reason I've always been obsessed with) - it was super enjoyable! Also the foreshadowing of Roger having a son!
