Roger Wilco, the brave interstellar janitor who has already saved the
universe from many great dangers, is now in a very embarrassing
position. His commanders show no respect for his courageous actions in Space Quest 5.
Instead, he is being accused of all kinds of violations against the
galactic law, is deprived of all the honors he got in the previous
game, and as a token of mercy, is allowed to return to his old job -
cleaning closets... But those unfortunate events are just the beginning
of much bigger troubles Roger will get into. Once again, the future of
galaxy depends on him! (From Mobygames description)

Space Quest 6 History
Scott says:
Ken says:
|
|
Roberta Williams, who designed Sierra's first game, Mystery House
in 1980, felt it was time to write another murder mystery which lived
up to the computer capabilities of the late eighties. Mystery House,
which was put on public domain in 1988, was the first computer game ever
with graphics, but it lacked colors, animation and sound. The Colonel's
Bequest was developed, using EGA graphics, Sierra's SCI engine, sound
and a music score, as well as featuring a deeper plot and more detailed
character descriptions.
The game has a sequel, The Dagger of Amon Ra, which is also the last Laura Bow game. Both games are also included in the 1997 King's Quest Collection and the Roberta Williams Anthology. Although the original release of The Colonel's Bequest can still relatively easily be found on online auctions, a complete
original game is considered as a true collector's item, as it contains
many goodies which are often missing from second-hand sales,
particularly the Laura Bow pen and notebook. The games copyright
protection is also quite original: the gamer needs to use a magnifying
glass (included in the box) to identify a fingerprint on the game
screen.
