Description

Poor Roger Wilco, while our ace-janitor was taking a nap in the utility closet the evil Sariens attacked the starship Arcada, murdered the rest of the crew and stole the Star Generator. This is a tool that can turn a barren moon into a blazing sun, but I bet I the Sariens' intentions are a lot less noble. Now it's up to Roger to stop them. The future of the galaxy lies in his, rather clumsy, hands! But first you'll have to find a way for Roger to get off the Arcada before it explodes. You have fifteen minutes...

Space Quest 1: Roger Wilco in the Sarien Encounter is a remake of the original release of Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter. It is a humoristic adventure game. The new version has enhanced graphics, soundblaster support and uses the SCI game engine (point-and-click interface, icons along the top) rather than the AGI engine (mixed point-and-click with text parser). Some of the puzzles have also been changed.

Trivia

The reference to King's Quest in which Roger would crash land into Daventry by pressing a button on the escape pod has been changed for the remake. You now crash into the outskirts of Nottingham Castle, as featured in Conquests of the Longbow. Furthermore, all references to KQ on dialogues have been removed.
