[4]***
[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!

Space Quest feature:
- Incredible 3-D graphics! Move behind, in front of, and into objects.
- Pop-up text windows for easier reading. No more calluses on your return key finger.
- Multiple solutions and variable scoring. There's more than one way to skin a short-haired hypoglopus.

Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon Sierra On-Line1989

[52]***2009-07-23 on Steam, by Activision (lang: eng)***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.

Star Trap Loriciels1989The game was reviewed in French gaming magazine Tilt, and from the looks of it, it does indeed feature a CGA DOS screenshot, so there is a high chance that a DOS version indeed exists. However it has not yet surfaced as far as I can tell, and there are no other sources of a PC version.***

Aliens: A Comic Book Adventure Mindscape (Cryo Interactive)1995You play Lt. Col. Hericksen, an ex-colonial marine who is now the commander of a three-man terraforming team. Your objective is to travel to remote outpost B54-C in order to find the cause of a distress call your vessel received.

Gameplay is a point-and-click adventure with limited, inventory-based puzzles. Grid-based combat is present as well. The player is given what amounts to timed objectives throughout the game, and must uncover the truth about the mysterious outpost's history before the colony's sudden destruction.

The game functions as a sequel to Dark Horse Comic's Aliens: Labyrinth, and follows up on characters and events from the end of that series.***
[84]***A very unusual point&click adventure where events continue spiraling out of control regardless of your activity (like that incoming meteor shower right at the start of the game) and there's turn&grid-based combat even.

Primarily based on some Dark Horse Aliens comics instead of the original movies.***Latest version: 1.0.3 (as of 1996-03?)***Comes on 2 CDs.
