[52]***Stardate: A long, long time ago (sounds familiar, huh?) in a galaxy just around the corner...
You are the janitor on the Spaceship Arcada.
Your mission!... To scrub dirty floors... To replace burned-out light bulbs... To clean out latrines... TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS SWEPT THE FLOOR!

Captain' Log:
Saturday, 01:14:07 p.m.: A super-secret Star Generator has just been tested successfully. Your crew has been celebrating. Your planet will soon have the new sun it desperately needs to keep its eco-systems alive. Your ship, the Arcada Research Lab is currently heading home to announce the good news.

Monday, 08:46:22 a.m.: An army of Sarian warriors, those nasty, trigger-happy space pirates from the Lower East Side, are hot on your ship's tail! Their evil scheme... to capture the Star Generator and use its secrets to take over the galaxy.

The Unforseeable Future: It's up to you! You become the sanitation engineer turned swashbuckling hero in this 3-D animated adventure game. You will pilot ships, float in space, battle fierce aliens, and perhaps even make time to catch the headlining band at the Keronian Rock Palace.

A new series in the tradition of King's Quest!

- Incredible 3-D graphics! Move behind, in front of, and into objects.

Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon Sierra On-Line1989
[22]***
[52]***The Two Guys from Andromeda, designers of the graphically extravagant (and satirically sensational) Space Quest series, have disappeared into thin oxygen! Hysterical game fanatics around the world await word on the whereabouts of these celestial celebrities!

Who could be the mastermind behind this evil plot?

Could it be the Pirates of Pestulon, known for their plundering, preying and unprincipaled practices? Or maybe the legions of Space Quest fans who would kill to be the first to play Space Quest III (the graphic adventure game with the closest thing yet to motion picture-quality animation). Not to be forgotten are the monkey-suited minions of Sludge Vohaul (from our last episode), who would love to make banana pudding out of those responsible for putting them behind bars.

Holy SpaceWaste, space adventurers, find out for yourself as Roger Wilco, intergalactic garbageman, returns to the rescue!

Features:
- Superior graphics and animation combine to create a true interactive cartoon where you become the central character.
- Includes an original musical score (over 30 minutes long) created by rock 'n roll legend Supertramp's Bob Siebenberg.

Paradroid '90 Hewson (Graftgold)1990 labelimageminimize
Robotz Project X1990The deep space exploration ship DARWIN 8 has been invaded by hostile alien robots. As the last surviving crew member it is your job to deal with the problem. The robots are all armed with laser guns and each group has at least one positronic generator from which they draw their power. Your rifle will only stun the robots while there is still an active generator on the screen, so destroy these first and then you can kill the robots. Complete each level as fast as you can to pick up the time bonus, but be careful not to walk into walls or barriers as these have been electrified and contact with them is fatal. labelimagesubject
