Space Quest 6, Polysorbate LX, by Flynn.

This is the over-view of Polysorbate LX, the first place you end up after the opening video. Not included is the apartment you’re taken to after being kidnapped, simply because I don’t know where on the map it would be (just imagine it’s off in the corner somewhere). I played this hundreds of times as a kid and it never got old, it’s just a hilariously great game.

Space Quest 2: Vohaul’s Revenge, excerpts, by Charlie Szymanski.

I played this game often as a kid, trying to figure out just what in the hell to type to make things work. I remember getting a mile into the game once and then realizing I didn’t have an item needed to complete the game. That was fun.

I’m pretty sure I’m missing vast sections of the game, but the first screen I remember very well. Mostly I remember dying. A lot. Either by drowning, or being eaten in the plant maze, or killed by guards, or the tazmanian devil, or my own stupidity. Still, I had fun.

Also, I can’t draw. Even a little.
