Congrats for indeed having the patience to wait for the space station meltdown, I did the same many years ago! it takes that long, even on fastest speed! It kind of gets me, that if you escape, it says "PHEWW! You've got to stop cutting it so close!" even if you have more than half an hour to spare!
@MrWhitman It is possible. The alien death is a timed event. If you finish the game fast enough, you won't die by a chest-burster. As for how this won't bite Roger in the ass in SQ3, the alien possibly died when Roger went into chronic sleep in the pod. No longer able to gather nutrients from Roger's body, the baby succumbed and Roger's body absorbs the corpse.
Wish it was "sudden" I had to wait for several minutes before he finally died in there. That one would easily be missed if I didn't know about it beforehand.
LOL that methane one is priceless i didn't even know that existed oh my god that is gold i have to remember that. also does anyoen know how to get tyhe guard to come down n walk to the south at the landing platform, n can u actually escape while he is down there?
@Daedelous2k I think it also depends on what speed you're playing at. I played through it twice, and each time the alien burst out in the exact same screen on the same route.
Strange. When I played through this game a couple of weeks ago, my character was kissed by the xenomorph thingy, but he didn't die later on. Why? Is it because I was quick enough to finish the game?
Yes it takes 40 min's on normal game speed for that affect to happen. It is plausible to beat the game before the affect takes place. Also I have a theory on why if you lived long enough to be put into stasis why you won't die in SQ 3 even after getting kissed. The pod uses a particular chemical to prevent aging and it keeps the child in a still life state which eventually kills it and Roger simply absorbs it into his system.

I got the song on a long erased website dedicated to Space Quest. Since it was up for download, I am willing to send you the MP3 if you'll PM me your e-mail.
@RickTommy It's timer-based.After being kissed there is a certain time you have to finish the game.Weirdly enough, the ending doesn't change because of that. (Necrocomment Ftw)
..."Because you are terminally weak above the shoulders, you guide the ship into the ground" LOL classic line!
I love how just about EVERYTHING in this game kills Roger.

I appreciate the effort you put into this, great fun to watch.
Great vid! I actually keep "watching" this over and over again because of the music!
I appreciate the video. The music on the other hand...
Suffocating in the jar was the funniest. It's so sudden.
3:00 death by alien sex!
"Sudden" and "soon" are different things. He goes from peachy (looking) to choking dead in half a second. That's comedy.
Wish it was "sudden" I had to wait for several minutes before he finally died in there. That one would easily be missed if I didn't know about it beforehand.
A death at the very, very end of the game. Sure, it takes five minutes, but... Only in a Sierra game.

It's plausable. I don't know why you didn't lose. I never thought it was possible to finish if you did get caught.

Will the oaf that puts in you in a cage eventually eat you if you don't get out?
Yeah, he knocks you out and roasts you over a fire. I know this is a 11 year old comment, but I was bored so I answered. 😃
1:55 Damn, that's just a brutal death, to understate it. Woah!
Where did you get this song at?
I love these 'ways to die' vids :)

Funny thing is... I've seen each and every one of these in both videos. And just by playing the game normally.
@MrWhitman It is possible to finish the game before it bursts out, it's on a real time timer.

Umm...would it be okay if you sent it to me,too?
5:24 had us cracking up as kids!

@MrWhitman Of course, the best way to prevent the death is to play on Normal Speed. Those poor souls who were playing on Super Fast...
No. You have to call to him if you want him to react to you at all. I left the game sitting there for a half hour and he didn't do anything.
Hah! Aliens reference! Hilarious!
Narrator, don't you have any loyalty for roger? You act like those deaths are all his fault.
PM me your e-mail and I'll give you the song.
