Description
Narrowly escaping the events of
Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge, Roger Wilco's escape pod floats through space. As just another metallic item of junk, it's soon picked up by an interstellar garbage hauler. Waking up in a pile of trash, quite familiar for this janitor-turned-hero, Roger Wilco must somehow escape. Once given access to the rest of the galaxy, he'll soon find himself having to avoid a collections cyborg for payments overdue, dealing with the corporate prison of software company Scummsoft, and having to digest the greasy food from the galaxy's finest hamburger joint. All this and he might be expected to get the high score playing Astro Chicken (tm) also!
Space Quest 3 is a graphical adventure. The mouse is functional for movement and inventory access, however the game primarily relies on a text parser for specific commands and manipulation of objects on screen. In addition to the regular game, there is also a simple non-scrolling Astro Chicken game that's playable, as well as a radar screen representation for ship-to-ship space combat.

Trivia
After winning the
Astro Chicken, you are given a hidden message, written in the Galactic Alphabet. For those of you who can't be bothered to decode it, here's what the message says.
HELP US! WE ARE BEING HELD
CAPTIVE BY SCUMSOFT ON THE
SMALL MOON OF PESTULON. AN
INPENETRABLE FORCE FIELD
SURROUNDS THE MOON. IT MUST
FIRST BE DEACTIVATED. IT'S
ORIGIN IS UNKNOWN TO US.
SCUMSOFT SECURITY IS ARMED
WITH JELLO PISTOLS. WE'RE
COUNTING ON YOU WHOEVER YOU
ARE.
TWO GUYS IN TROUBLE
When you retrieve the decoder ring and use it to decode the message, one would think that the game would automatically decode it for you.
