Great news for Space Quest Fans! yay12

You can check out the website here.

You can download here.

Quote:
DECEMBER 30th, 2011 - After more than five years of working on the game, bit by bit in their spare time, the team at INFAMOUS ADVENTURES (www.infamous-adventures.com) has released their remake of the 1987 classic, "SPACE QUEST II: Vohaul's Revenge". Originally written and programmed by Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe and released by Sierra On-Line, the game features the hapless hero, janitor Roger Wilco in a rollicking adventure that takes him through space!

Remade in a classic retro "VGA" style, like Sierra's later point and click adventures from the early 1990's, Space Quest II Remake provides hand-drawn backgrounds, hand animated characters, a full voice pack featuring over 4,000 recorded lines and a whole lot of extras and fun. A labor of love and devotion to the original series, the team at Infamous Adventures is proud to be able to release this to the fans, both young and old. Visit www.infamous-adventures for more details.

So what are you waiting for?



Happy Gaming and thanks for the headsup L4L!

Hi - And thank you BrownEyedTigre and venus !!

I've already downloaded the Fan made Space Quest game but when I go to www.infamous-adventures and attempt to download the Remake of SQ2, I'm asked to give credit card details.

Is the full version of this game definitely free to download ??

Cheers.

Mad, you're on the right page. You have to select either the HQ or the LQ square under the Select Site Quality option. Either one will give you a menu with a list of options on the top. One of the options should be Download. Click on it, and the SQ2 download should be there.

Yes. smile It does for me anyway, and I have Win 7 64 bit. Though I did have to tweak it a little bit to get it to work, as it wouldn't start initially. During the game setup, under Graphics Filter, I had to change 3x nearest-neighbor filter to 4x nearest-neighbor filter. Another filter may have worked as well, but since the game started working immediately for me after that, I didn't play around with anything else.

No problems for me either on Win 7 64 bit. From what I read, I think Venus' issue had to do with the capabilities of the video hardware rather than the OS.

Yes. I did download it, venus, but after all that, Norton promptly removed it - saying it was "unsafe" !! lol

["False positive" though, is what I've gathered from other Norton users snicker]

Mad, sorry to hear that. Does that mean you can't play the game? Can you disable Norton until the game's installed, or will it delete the game no matter what once you enable it again?

Hi venus smile

I have so many unplayed games at the moment that I've not yet bothered to investigate further but maybe I will look into it if I start to get low on games whistle

Just d/l-ed it, folks. I chose the remake that bore the 256 color graphics rather than the cartoony graphics.

Oh, on hindsight, I made a mistake - I thought it was Cosmos Quest 2, not Space Quest. I'm not a Space Quest fan, I'd rather play Cosmos Quest instead. I have all the d/l's backed up somewhere, possibly on a flash drive or my mac's external HDD Time Machine backups, have to get it out one day maybe tomorrow or Sunday and burn all my free game d/l's to a CD or DVD.
