I have played this game Space Quest 4 on Dosbox and I enjoyed the funny jokes made by the late narrator Gary Owens. You play as Roger Wilco who relaxes at the alien bar when the police soldiers barge in and releases a message that Sludge Vohaul wants to get revenge on Roger.
A man who is actually Rogers future helps him escape into the future and is thrust into the post apocalypse future of Space Quest 12 where the city of Zenon is in ruins and zombies are wandering the streets. You have to avoid the zombie, get the pocketpal laptop, sneak underground in the sewer to a secret lab where you learn about what happened to the city. You then have to escape the acid slime trying to eat Roger and scoop up the acid slime which you'll need later on in the game. Roger sneaks aboard the police spaceship and hijacks the police time machine car which he can travel in time. You can visit Space Quest 3 but you can't get out.
Roger then travels to Space Quest 10 in the grand canyon where the giant bird takes him to the nest but he escapes and he meets his first sexy woman girlfriend Zondra in a bathing swimsuit that he dumped for his future wife Beatrice and had a son.
Zondra and her friends hold Roger hostage and take him in their submarine and they torture him with a razor blade but the sea monster attacks them and Roger throws an oxygen tank at the monster and it explodes and kills the monster.
Zondra and her friends forgives Roger and takes him in their flying car to the Galaxy Mall where they go on a shopping spree. Zondra drops her credit card which Roger picks up. Roger has to buy a new pair of pants and then work at the fast food burger joint by a rude manager alien boss. Roger gets the money but gets fired as the conveyor belt goes too fast for him and gets the cigar.
Roger gets to be a crossdresser as a woman, He withdraws the buckizoids and gets chased by the space police and steals their police car time machine and revisits Space Quest 1 and later to Space Quest 12 to find out the plug connection. He gets the guide book and the pocketpal plug. He infiltrates Sludge Vohaul and gets past his security guards and rescues his son from Vohaul and defeats him. Roger reunites with his son and promises him he will meet him someday.
This game was funny, I liked Gary Owens funny jokes in the game I miss him, Rest in Peace Gary, you'll never be forgotten. I liked how Roger Wilco could travel in time in Space Quest 1, 3, 4, 10, 12. I also liked the joke I Love Lunar secret message.
When I found the Easter Egg about the vacation in Europe, they used the 4 letter S word, which I was surprised at the time as it was in the PC censorship days when swearing wasn't allowed in the early 1990s as this game was made 3 years before the ESRB rating system came out. 2 other Sierra that used the S word is Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father. And Police Quest Open Season. I was also surprised the word "Crap" was used in the game, Police Quest 1 also used the word "Crap" which I was surprised it got past the PC Censorship.
The sexy women in one piece swimsuits including Zondra and the sexy women in a black swimsuit was a little surprising to me as this was featured during the PC censorship era which was also shown in Battletoads. I felt bad for Zondra who dropped her credit card and Roger who stole her card, didn't ever return it to her or pay her back for stealing money from her which bothered me as it left a plot hole in the game as it put Roger in debt in Space Quest 5, 6.
I didn't like the rude alien manager who was unreasonable to Roger at the burger joint, I thought he was the worst Space Quest character ever.
Anyways the Ms. Astro Chicken game wasn't as fun as Astro Chicken in Space Quest 3 as it gets repetitive dropping eggs on the dog and farmer. I also liked the robot store owner from Hz So Good which originally was called Radio Shock but was changed due to copyright issues.
I liked how you can literally flush droids and brain which was very funny way to get rid of security.
Overall this is the funniest Space Quest game next to Space Quest 6. I wish I could've met Gary Owens. I was sad when he died in 2015. I wanted to get his autograph which will not happen in this life.
Anyways you can get this game on Gog or PC steam website. It's worth getting. I'm sad that I'll never get to play and explore Space Quest 7, 8, 9 and 11 as the Sierra company shutdown in 1999. This is a forgotten PC game nobody should miss out on.
