Summary

The last Space Quest... Unfortunately!

The Good

Space Quest VI, the last of the epic saga, is a worthy conclusion to the series. The story is original and the travel inside Stellar's body (I hope you know what I mean... for those of you who didn't play the game: it's not what you think!) is fascinating. There are some very funny jokes and gags - my favorite is when Roger appears on a Windows 3 desktop. The music is represented by some very nicely sounding tunes. The game offers more of the sense of exploring than the other, since you can't really die (you can, but don't need to restore a game).

The Bad

The game is humorous all right, but somehow the jokes à la SQ IV were missing. That means, they just changed the character, and became more... innocent, so to say.

The Bottom Line

A very good game. Pity there's no sequel!
