About the game:
In this installment, Roger embarks on a time-travel adventure through Space Quest games both past and future. A reborn Sludge Vohaul from Space Quest XII: Vohaul's Revenge II chases Roger through time in an attempt to finally kill him. Roger also visits Space Quest X: Latex Babes of Estros (whose title is a parody of Infocom's game Leather Goddesses of Phobos) and Space Quest I; in the latter, the graphics and music revert to the style of the original game and Roger is threatened by a group of monochromatic bikers who consider Roger's 256 colors pretentious. None of the gameplay takes place in Space Quest IV. In fact, the "actual" Space Quest IV is only seen briefly in the introduction.
In contrast to the first three games, Space Quest IV uses a point-and-click interface, featuring icons for different actions. The icons are an eye, a talking head, a walking person, a hand, a mouth, and a nose, representing look, talk, walk to, use, taste, and smell, respectively. The last two almost never do anything other than provoke a humorous response from the game.

About the run:
So I didnot expect to need so many tries to finally set a decent time, but every screen turns out to be full of death traps like in every classic Sierra game back then. Overall sub 13 is absolutly possible, I did some stupid mistakes in the Mall which cost we a lot of seconds. But for now I am happy with it, because it starts to get annoying replaying sme sections of the game.
The Amiga version does look ugly in comparison to the DOS version, converting to the Amiga was never something Sierra was serious interessted in. The game itself I really liked and is recommend to give it a try.
I was using WinUAE + WHDLoad version for emulation on my PC.
Have fun watching it.
