There was a very brief announcement by Sierra that a Space Quest game was planned for Xbox.  Then the plan was cancelled.  Anyone have details?
:When Vivendi Universal closed Sierra Entertainment, all projects were shelved, including the console games Space Quest and Kings Quest. If the new Larry sells well the project may of course be revived, but there's no guarantee.  Åℕάℛℹℴη 10:00, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: I believe that ScumSoft is a parody on Microsoft, not SunSoft. This is backed up by the likeness of the CEO to Bill Gates. Can someone confirm/deny this?
- Anonymous
As far as I can tell, as well as all other sources in the world can tell other than this one person who seems to continually enforce Sunsoft, it is in fact a reference to Microsoft. The person enforcing should have the burden of proof if he intends to keep enforcing this fact that no evidence supports (no evidence supports Sunsoft).

:That was me reverting all those times. The article originally had SunSoft so when it was changed I thought it was either a mistake or vandalism. If you have sources that says it references Microsoft, then go ahead and change it and I wont revert it anymore. -th1rt3en 07:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I am not sure if you actually are writting it or if you have a bot acting as programmed. Please take a look to my reply in my talk page. I am not vandalizing Space Quest, and please don't restore information that has been already moved; by doing so you are actually duplicating information that exists elsewhere. Just take a time and look at the links I created (linking to each game in its separate article) before I moved the bulk information. Pictureuploader 10:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Commander Kielbasa, a Cowardly Lion look-alike whose name is a play on both the feline Kilrathi from the computer game series Wing Commander and the character Mufasa from the animated motion picture The Lion King.
So his name has absolutely nothing at all to do with kielbasa; it's just a coinicidence? 72.200.136.89 15:54, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the name was probably chosen in part for humorous effect (named after a polish sausage), but the name also fits in with that which you quote above.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:31, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was simply wondering why such an esoteric origin was included without even mentioning the other, more obvious one. 72.200.136.89 21:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The later games were all narrated by a brilliant voice actor giving a distinctive personality. I think it was Keith Scott.  Any confirmations?  Should be included.
:It was Gary Owens in both games. -th1rt3en 01:50, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The narrator has been very much a character from the start, often making comments like Roger 'making us both look bad.' --Kizor 22:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Spacequest1.gif

message: It's very inaccurate. In none of the Space Quest games does Roger save the universe "by accident." It's always been a result of his own initiative and ability to eventually find solutions. Second, he does not save the universe in every game. In SQ1 and SQ2 it's only his home planet Xenon that he saves. In SQ3 all he does is rescue the Two Guys from Andromeda. Third, it's not true that his efforts are always ignored or that he gets in trouble for a minor infraction. At the end of SQ1 he is given a huge celebration. His accomplishments in SQ2 - 4 are not so much "ignored," the rest of the universe simply never learns about them at the time for various reasons. The infractions in SQ5 that Roger gets in trouble for in SQ6 involve, among other things, blowing up a starship, hardly "minor." In SQ6, we aren't really shown what happens after the defeat of Sharpei, so we can't assume Roger was never awarded for it.
Again, the summary is not very accurate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.205.57.121 (talk) 10:56, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
