- StarsGary OwensWilliam HallCarol Bach RitaRoger Wilco, the brave interstellar janitor who has already saved the universe from many great dangers, is now in a very embarrassing position. His commanders show no respect for his courageous actions. Instead, he is being accused of all kinds of violations against the galactic law, is deprived of all the honors he got, and as a token of mercy, is allowed to return to his old job - cleaning closets... But those unfortunate events are just the beginning of much bigger troubles Roger will get into. Once again, the future of galaxy depends on him! Space Quest 6 revolves around a plot from Sharpei, an elderly widow of a StarCon Admiral to live on forever. Her plot involved the stealing of a younger body and placing her consciousness into it. Roger Wilco is dragged into this plot against his will as the body to be used, but he is rescued at the last second by his friend and former love interest Stellar Santiago. In rescuing Roger, Stellar is presumably killed in an explosion, but in reality was kidnapped by Sharpei and is being used as her new body. After receiving a distress call from the supposedly dead Stellar, Roger is determined to find her and save her.The final game to end on a cliffhanger, Space Quest 7 was shortly cancelled afterwards. This game featured Hollywood actors including Gary Owens and Charles Martinet who also voiced Nintendo games including Super Punch Out, Super Mario games like Super Mario 64. This features a memorable mini-game called Stooge Fighter III where 3 Stooges fight each other in comical ways. This also game predicted the future with Batman V Superman 2015 movie. There was also an infamous bug where if Roger Wilco installed the disk drive, the game would crash. This bug was fixed in later versions. I hope Space Quest will one day make a comeback and solve the cliffhanger ending that this game left us with.
- StarsSteve BulenSteve BlumDoug StoneHaving foiled the plans of the Dark Master in Mordavia, the hero is magically summoned by a group of his longtime friends to the island realm of Silmaria (richly modeled after the culture and folklore of our own world's ancient Greece). The realm is in bad shape: the old king has very recently been brutally murdered by an unknown assassin; the coastline villages have been raided, ransacked and occupied by invading Hesperian mercenaries; wild animals and ravenous monsters roam the land and sea; and an ancient prophecy, foretelling the reawakening of a terrible dragon that had ravaged the land ages ago, arises once again. The centaur Logos, previously the late king's chief counselor and now the acting ruler of the realm, has decreed that the ancient ceremonial Rites of Rulership be opened to those who wish to contend for the kingship. Encouraged by his old friend, the noble Liontaur paladin Rakeesh, the hero enters the rites and finds himself racing to complete noble quests of bravery and honor around the realm, before they are accomplished by such other worthy contenders as Elsa von Spielburg (the Baron's daughter from QfG1); Magnum Opus, a vainglorious Roman warlord; or the brutish humanoid giant Gort. While on these quests, the hero will encounter many old friends and familiar faces, and will possibly even get the chance to rekindle the flame of an old romance. But meanwhile, in the shadows, an invisible hand aids the success of one of the contestants, and is constantly working to disqualify - or eliminate - all others. Thus, while treachery and death hide around every corner, an ancient evil is about to be unchained, the land about to be blasted once again by dragon fire...One of the last Sierra games Quest for Glory V before the original studio shut down. I hope this series will make a comeback one day.
