The latest incarnation of Roger Wilco now in 32 colour mode (as opposed to
the original 8 colour version). Everybody must have heard of the SPACE
QUEST series, and as they are quite popular Sierra decided to revamp the
old version of SPACE QUEST ONE into their latest offering. As an adventure
goes (I can't tell you the plot, it'll spoil the game) you must escape from
you're captured ship and retrieve a stolen mass-destruction weapon.
Improvements over the old version are greatly enhanced graphics, better
sound (no more PC bliebs) and NO TYPING!!!. Everything is now mouse/icon
controlled. They even say they have added some twists to the plot, but I
haven't played it far enough to discover them yet. Even though I have
finished the old version a long time ago, this new one has me playing it
again. It hasn't lost anything of it's charm and with the 92 standard it's
nice to see all those exotic locations with better graphics, accompanied by
some decent sound. The whole game is harddisk installable. You are right
if you think that playing from floppy can be a time consuming affair. The
only niggle is that the game still doesn't run very fast, but after a while
you won't notice it so much.

If you loved this game you won't be dissapointed, and if you missed it (how
could you) go out and get this version, it's much much better.
