Yes since whoever bought sieras ip last has the rights to space quest, has the rights still...

Still should be a fun new game that continues the crazy.

Loved that series...

Why do they need half a million dollars for a Space Quest game? Way back when the Amiga versions were always just a direct port of the PC versions along with the crappy EGA graphics!

Maybe because they can't really make it with EGA graphics today so they need to pay all the artists and popular voice actors they hired :smack:

Copyrights are copyrights, but they still totally snuck sierra logo as basically theirs in there :D:D

Awsome ! Back in the day (PC platform I'll admit) I was a big fan of Sierra and Lucas Film adventure games, the whole Adventure genre to be precise. Still am today although it's a dying (dead?) genre altogether. Maybe this will be the perfect opportunity to interest all those youngsters of today that there are other types of games except 3D doom/quake/younameit clonez. Very exciting ! Thanks 4 sharing.

Also check out Space Quest 0, and Space Quest The Lost Chapter. Both free and I presume work under ScummVM, and certainly DOSbox.

EDIT: And Space Quest IV.5

I just tested Space Quest 0 and the lost chapters with ScummVM, they work fine! :)

Space Quest 0

http://wiw.org/~jess/replicated.html



Space Quest I.5: The Lost Chapter

http://frostbytei.com/space/about.html




Also there is now a remake of Space Quest II on the web, and if you can find it, there is also a game called Space Quest IV.5 out there, though good luck finding a copy. ;)

@XDelusion

Are you talking about that one?

Downloads appear to be down for it but I might know one of the team-members.

I believe this is one of my reasons for buying an Amiga in the first place.
