Re: My playthrough

Sorry if my point was unclear. I'll try to clarify. No game ever gives a player full agency. The game is designed to have some sort of experience and tell some sort of story, and the player can't deviate from this. It's 100% okay that you can't take any of the actions I listed. However, if there are...

Re: My playthrough

I'd forgotten how long the back and forth with Clarence is. That sort of thing is good. So is Rudy getting upset with you and thus changing how he interacts in the future (that's the sort of "state" I'd been talking about). So those are the sorts of things the game could have used more of. I'm also ...

Re: My playthrough

Don't get me wrong. Just in terms of the amount of content, the dialogue system is impressive. Not only can you ask everyone about everything and show them your items, you can even ask about the relationships between the characters. So for what it's trying to do, it's quite good. However, in terms o...

Re: My playthrough

Well, for me - it was about finding different ways to find information. For example, the first time I played it, I don't think I ever found the secret passage to spy on people in rooms. So when I played it later and found that, it was a new experience to me. I would always go into the areas to spy ...

Is that image the giant robot's "spine" at the start of SQ3?

Re: My playthrough

I found this amusing YouTube video . I was aware that you could get to act 7 by typing only only command, but that shows you can also do it without ever seeing a corpse. As for the endings, you get the good ending by killing Rudi, and a slightly better one from also doing the adventure game stuff, w...

Re: Space Quest - Where Am I From? Screen Capture Game.

It's not so much about purism as about the rules specified for these forum games.
