![]() ![]() Typically this means that almost every item you need to solve a puzzle is either in the same room as the puzzle, or you are allowed to go back and find it before moving on. The puzzles in Space Quest 6 however do not allow you to miss a vital piece. In old Space Quest games, it was entirely possible to miss an item that would be needed later in the game, making it impossible to beat. Unlike most traditional Sierra adventure games, Space Quest did not allow the player to "break" the game. There are also many pun solutions like a syringe of "Morphing" which Roger incorrectly assumes is "Morphine" and causes a person to change once they've been injected. ![]() One example of this logic is Roger buying a bum liquor in exchange for cheat codes to a Stooge Fighter arcade game. Players used items found throughout the environment to solve puzzles, usually through joke answers or through Roger lying and cheating. Unlike other Sierra games of the time though, these button options were onscreen at all time in the bottom corner, much like the "Talk to" or Move to" prompts in Lucas Arts games. ![]() The menu system is the same as almost every Sierra game as are the context sensitive cursors for walk, touch, speak, etc. GAMEPLAY Space Quest 6 is an unusual combination of traditional Sierra adventure game style and Lucas Arts adventure game styles. After receiving a distress call from the supposedly dead Stellar, Roger is determined to find her and save her. In rescuing Roger, Stellar is presumably killed in an explosion, but in reality was kidnapped by Sharpei and is being used as her new body. Roger Wilco is dragged into this plot against his will as the body to be used, but he is rescued at the last second by his friend and former love interest Stellar Santiago. Her plot involved the stealing of a younger body and placing her consciousness into it. PLOT Space Quest 6 revolves around a plot from Sharpei, an elderly widow of a StarCon Admiral to live on forever. Roger is beamed down to the planet poorly with half of his body underground, and the game begins. Shortly after being reassigned, the entire crew gets shore leave on the planet Polysorbate 60. Roger is also reassigned to duty on the SCS DeepShip 86. OVERVIEW Space Quest 6 beings with Roger Wilco being demoted back to the rank of Janitor Second class after the events of Space Quest 5. ![]()
