| Space Quest Collection (episodes 1 to 6) is available at Steam today at 2,49 euros (75 percent discount). On mac using Crossover may require to launch the setup application first (see here) to switch the video mode before launching the game. We can also copy files from Crossover to Dosbox or ScummVM. UPDATE : Space Quest 3 is very slow (music and display) from Steam (uses Dosbox 0.61). By switching the default surface display mode (file dosbox.conf in /Users/ However performances are far more greater using boxer, also based on Dosbox (copy sq3 folder from SteamApps/common/Space Quest Collection to the Boxer window). It can also emulate MT32 for music and sounds (requires installing the MT32 rom files in Boxer audio preferences and replacing SNDBLAST.DRV by MT32.DRV in game's RESOURCE.CFG file). |

| 05-13-12 / 11:52 PM : SpaceVenture : Space Quest return (cjed) |
 Creators of Space Quest series (Two Guys From Andromeda) present SpaceVenture, a similar adventure game project, based on donations from users. In first 5 days (over 35 planned days) the project still received 150 000$ (mostly 15$ to 500$ per backer) on the required 500 000$.Contributors will have access to preview versions (based on HTML5). The final game however will be a standalone application (no browser required) that will work on all systems. A Sci-fi adventure from Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe working happily together as a team once again. Hilarious death sequences Tons of the fresh (and moldy) pop-culture references Fun and unique humor Art design and direction by Mark Dialog that will make you blow nostril Tang, written by Scott along with Mark Narration of all this by Gary Owens and the voice acting of other characters by the above mentioned quality industry voice talent. Game music that will hopefully give you chills and wedge in your main orb for the rest of your natural Earth life and make you wish you lived inside your computer! A game that you will feel comfortable playing with your children, but with some entertainment that will safely appeal only to the adult psyche I still composed a music inspired from Monolith Burger theme (Space Quest 3) and also mastered Roland D-20 versions of the original musics (using game sounds converted from MT32 and edited for the D20). |
