help Space Quest I FAQ
Who is Roger Wilco in Space Quest I?
Roger Wilco is a low-ranking janitor aboard the starship Arcada, not a trained soldier or famous hero. He survives a Sarien attack and must recover the stolen Star Generator before it can be used as a weapon.
How do commands work in the original Space Quest I?
The 1986 Sierra release uses a text parser, so players type commands such as look, take, or use while moving Roger with the keyboard. The 1991 remake replaces that interface with Sierra's icon-based point-and-click system and VGA graphics.
Why does Roger travel to Kerona in Space Quest I?
After escaping the Arcada, Roger crash-lands on the desert planet Kerona. His encounters there eventually point him toward the Deltaur, the Sarien vessel carrying the stolen Star Generator.
Should I play the 1986 original or the 1991 VGA remake?
The original offers EGA graphics and Sierra's classic typed-command interface, while the remake has VGA artwork and mouse controls. Both tell The Sarien Encounter story, but some puzzles, presentation details, and jokes differ.
