Summary

Excellent game!

The Good

What I really liked about it over Space Quest 1/2 is that they added a lot of animated-type stuff. (Roger flipping before falling, getting punched at Monolith burger, jumping up from the Conveyor belt, etc.) I also really like the deaths in it. Y'know how it showed pictures of Roger after he died--those were so funny (especially the USDA one) Anyway. I liked the text parser in it more than the text parser in Space Quest 1/2. It was the first real computer game that I played, and I am so happy I was able to find it again!

The Bad

Too short...

The Bottom Line

A really funny, great Third-person text-based (Commands, not graphics!) game! If you liked the earlier ones, this one is loads better!
