Space Quest: Chapter I: The Sarien Encounter, is the first in the long-running and beloved sci-fi parody series by Sierra On-Line veteran dream-team Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy - also known as the "Two Guys from Andromeda", released in 1986, that introduces us to the hero of the series, entirely unheroic space janitor, Roger Wilco, who must survive an encounter with a hostile alien race called the Sariens, and deliver vital information about a powerful piece of technology called the Star Generator, and prevent it from falling into enemy hands.
The original Space Quest was released to rave reviews in October of '86, and a patched version in '87, selling a whopping 100,000 copies - a massive achievement in its time. One of the rare Sierra classics to receive a VGA remake (In 1991), it is fondly remembered as the game that launched a thousand life pods, most of which exploded or crashed. Because it's a hard game.
The NPCs are playing the EGA version of Space Quest using DOSBox, with Tandy Audio.
Sierra Saturday is a weekly series on the Level 0 NPCs channel, where Matt & Luke relive their childhoods playing classic adventure games of the '80s and '90s (and beyond?). Sierra adventure games were a special breed of dark humor, brutally unfair puzzles and unforgettable characters, and we hope you enjoy this walk down memory lane with us.
