Games are usually not our main focus, but in this issue we would like to make an exception. When Sierra-Online released the classic Space Quest II in 1987, about 100000 copies of the game were sold in the aftermath.

Point-and-click adventures were absolutely en vogue at the time, and alongside titles like Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken from Lucasfilm Games, Sierra was right up there with its adventures.

The story of Roger Wilco the janitor 🧹 is as funny as it is wacky and weird. But especially the humor made the game series quickly a classic. But if you want to play part 1 or 2 today, you have to be satisfied with a reduced resolution as well as color palette - certainly not a limitation for the real Roger Wilco fan, but it can be better.

Steven Alexander and the team of Infamous Adventures have completely relaunched the second part of the space saga technically. New screens, reworked animations, more spoken dialogues and everything in VGA resolution give the title a whole new shine. Space Quest II is available for Windows, Linux and the Mac and after a short download nothing stands in the way of the game fun. The game was released at the beginning of 2020 already, so it’s not brand new. Nevertheless we found it just this week, and did not want to withhold it from you.

It's amazing how quickly you feel transported back in time. And sending Roger around is just as much fun as it was back in the days. Give it a try.
