IMO, that's only second to Roger's "Ugh! Now that was a BITTER section. I don't think I wanna lick the road around HERE anymore!" ...which is the best line in the history of computer and video games. /watch?v=ASVhrf09-E0
My favourite quote: "You lick a thick smear of filth off the street. Finding the taste unpleasant, you quickly swallow it. What a smart person you are."
My favorite: ROGER: Take me to Lab B. I have clearance. Believing you entirely, the Ascendo-Pad descends to Laboratory B, where it drops you off, and you save the galaxy. The end. As if!
A sequence from Xenon's gutter examining/tasting/smelling/ "It looks as good as it tastes... It tastes as good as it smells!! ..... It smells like garbage.." I love this game!
"the air smells damp and oppressive, like a wet nun" Oh wow, good ol' space quest. And I actually enjoyed the 6th game. But that's probably only because of the narration. Good times...
Thanks for including Roger dancing in Saks! FUNNY! I did the toilet flush of SQ4 too! (I saved first). Thank you for doing this! If you are still thinking of doing this for SQ5, please do so. It's a great game, even though it's not a "talkie" Would you like me to offer any suggestions? Thanks!
When using the Talk icon on the bunny.. "He's too coooool to talk to you". When tasting one of the buildings in Xenon ... "mmmmm... wild berry!" lol .. great game ..
I wouldn't call such a thing pointless. I've seen a couple of the clips in this collection uploaded as seperate videos on RUclips already. I just thought it would be more convenient to have a lot of these sort of moments all in one video.
I've known about GAP for years. It's a very useful program, because I've heard dialogue in audio files from various games that is never actually used. I've actually created a few websites documenting those unused clips.
Adventure games are still being made, but just about all of the commercial ones are 3D now. Fortunately, nowadays there are a lot of free adventure games being made in the style of the classics, though the quality can be extremely variable.
the idea to flush yourself down the toilet in the super computer was an abomination, i hate the jerk that made that possible but i laughed at the fact there was a kings quest and leisure suit larry in there LOL
Haha, omg this is frickin brilliant, WHY did I not know about these games before? Kind of reminds me of DukeLovesYou if he actually narrated a game, lol.
You forgot when you eye the change machine in the arcade and Gary says "The change machine looks like a time machine more than the time machine looks like a time machine, for a change". Damn I miss this game
To be honest, most of the moments/lines in this video were my personal favorites, which weren't necessarily fan favorites. That _was_ a good line, though.
Heh yeah the ones in the video were awesome. The whole game front to back was amazing. I forgot about the wet nun one in the SQ1 world and the hare trigger ones hahaha that had me crying!
"Help! A giant branch has penetrated my vital organs and I can't get up!" Those are hilarious! And I'm in favor of you making one of SQ5. If you don't, I might steal you the idea and make one myself. So... think about it.
I discovered a new good one, but I don't know whether it works in the CD version: If you talk to the trah can in the Arcade there is a Get Smart reference.
Call me crazy but I preferred it when you had to type the commands. So many more hilarious permutations! Also, reading the words in my mind was funnier than listening to the narrator. Fantastic games!
My favorite is when after you're dropped in the nest and you attempt to taste the dead Sequel Police officer and you hear Gary say, "Take it from someone who knows sick: licking corpses is going way beyond simple dementia. Get a grip, pal!"
one of my favorite Easter eggs in SQ4 was flushing SQ4 in the toilet from the super computer. it literally closes out the game and sends you back to the dos prompt 🤣
After returning to NYC in 2013, my last visit being in 2000, I thought to myself: "The city looks different -- more modern, with a heavy dash of post-disaster seasoning." If you attempt to talk to the software store alien a fourth time (after he says "Beat it, jerk!"), the narrator will say "There is no reply." Allowing yourself to be zapped by the Wallmart Forcefield Generating Units enough times will kill you. Assuming he survives, what Roger says alternates between "YOUCH!" and "Ah, cripes! I hate it when that happens!"
I got stuck with the Sequel police in the mall, so in desperation, i DID throw the bunny on them, and burst out laughing with the reply, even though they zaped me while i where....
@topbluffa1 As I said in the description box, Vivendi Universal released Space Quest 4 in its new Space Quest Collection, so yes, you can buy it and all the other games in the series.
u flush it and you don';t just die u go back to windows or wherever u started your game from...that is messed up so if you hadn't thought to save recently then you have to do it all again
We need all Space Quest fans to get on board the campaign for a new game from the Two Guys from Andromeda (SQ Creators!). Its only been 20 years in the making! tgakick.com
I thought that didn't quite fit in with most of the other clips in this collection (in which the dialogue is the source of most of the humor). There weren't enough visual gags to balance things out.
@sheriffayez I KNEW it! Gary Owens, the one and only! He's a swell guy who's been in a lot of cartoons and other things. He was Space Ghost! Also, Powdered Toast Man.
@topbluffa1 @topbluffa1 None of the versions of Space Quest 5 have voices. Sierra On-Line had some financial difficulties while the CD-ROM version of the game was being developed, and a "talkie" version was never released.
"The change machine looks like a time machine, more than the time machine looks like a time machine...for a change."
It's a real shame they don't make games like this anymore, else I'd still be a gamer.
Amen, looks like paradigm is the closest were getting these days.
Gary Owens was the greatest video game narrator ever! I already miss him
Has it been that long since he died?
The line about only getting 16 smells in EGA had me hysterical!
Excuse me?
VGA, EGA, and Ta-rah-rah-rah-BOOM-G-A!
Ok, I get it now. It's a reference to the amount of colors.
I've got to say space quest 4 has some of the best voice dub i've ever heard in video game history
RIP Mr. Owens.
That's why one of Sierra's most famous mottoes was "Save early, save often."
Space Quest IV is easily one of my top 3 adventure games, of all time. Great video!
Which is worse? Discovering that something tastes like dead gerbils?
... or knowing how a dead gerbil tastes?
"Seriously- do you really think he has TIME for that? He's too busy being dead!!"
Nice. I didn't know about ENT, the hair, the dead gerbils, or the bunny.
RIP Gary thanks for the laughs :)
IMO, that's only second to Roger's
"Ugh! Now that was a BITTER section. I don't think I wanna lick the road around HERE anymore!"

A sequence from Xenon's gutter examining/tasting/smelling/
"It looks as good as it tastes...
It tastes as good as it smells!!
..... It smells like garbage.."
I love this game!
I usually get:
It looks just as good as it tastes
It tastes just as good as it looks
I can't believe you forgot the "Change machine" one.
The change machine looks like a time machine more than the time machine looks like a time machine (for a change).
My favourite quote was "and finally... FINALLY... nothing happens".
"the air smells damp and oppressive, like a wet nun"
Oh wow, good ol' space quest. And I actually enjoyed the 6th game. But that's probably only because of the narration. Good times...
I enjoyed Space Quest 6 entirely
That last part with the supercomputer is also brilliant, lol
After attempting to use the hand icon on Roger: "Hey, keep your hands off yourself... this is a FAMILY game..."
Even back then we'd be "Yeah right" on the "family game".
"the air smells damp and oppressive, like a wet nun"
LOL
I don't get it
RIP Gary Owens
I heard about this! I was pretty amazed, and I can't wait to see how their new project turns out.
This needs a part 2
"The pipes have the tangy taste of 100% real steel, basted with slime, and rusted to a delicate crunch."
-TASTEing the Sewer pipes
Don't throw the bunny at the sequel policeman!
He may have a hare trigger
Thanks. I discovered most of these messages from exploring the game's various resource files.
i totally tried to throw the bunny at the sequel police
"the air smells damp and oppressive, like a wet nun."
I didn't get that for years
Thanks for including Roger dancing in Saks! FUNNY! I did the toilet flush of SQ4 too! (I saved first). Thank you for doing this! If you are still thinking of doing this for SQ5, please do so. It's a great game, even though it's not a "talkie" Would you like me to offer any suggestions? Thanks!
"This is your brain. If it had been a real brain, you would have known how to use it."
"Casually glancing at the status line, you happen to notice that you're in Space Quest XII".
When using the Talk icon on the bunny.. "He's too coooool to talk to you".
When tasting one of the buildings in Xenon ... "mmmmm... wild berry!"
lol .. great game ..
"What's goin' on in there?"
There is NO reply!
I wouldn't call such a thing pointless. I've seen a couple of the clips in this collection uploaded as seperate videos on RUclips already. I just thought it would be more convenient to have a lot of these sort of moments all in one video.

The game doesn't really crash, it just exits without saving.
Haha, omg this is frickin brilliant, WHY did I not know about these games before? Kind of reminds me of DukeLovesYou if he actually narrated a game, lol.
+Cr4z3d Welcome to the club.
Thanks. That's one of my favorite lines.
the fact that it had a voice made this the best game of all, it was hilarious, it was a huge dissapointment for me when SQ 5 didn't have voices
You forgot when you eye the change machine in the arcade and Gary says "The change machine looks like a time machine more than the time machine looks like a time machine, for a change". Damn I miss this game
That's a good one!

Heh yeah the ones in the video were awesome. The whole game front to back was amazing. I forgot about the wet nun one in the SQ1 world and the hare trigger ones hahaha that had me crying!
I'd love to be able to play through this entire game just to get all the funny quotes and actions.
I found my SQ4 and 6 CDs last night. And also I found the SQ collection on Steam last night for $20. I'm really thinking about getting it
I uploaded a short clip of Wilco myself yesterday. Glad it wasn't just part of yours or it would be pointless.
"Help! A giant branch has penetrated my vital organs and I can't get up!"
Those are hilarious!
And I'm in favor of you making one of SQ5.
If you don't, I might steal you the idea and make one myself. So... think about it.
Seriously, do you think this guy has time to talk to you? He's too busy being dead.
I discovered a new good one, but I don't know whether it works in the CD version:
If you talk to the trah can in the Arcade there is a Get Smart reference.
I think it still does
Call me crazy but I preferred it when you had to type the commands. So many more hilarious permutations! Also, reading the words in my mind was funnier than listening to the narrator. Fantastic games!
It tastes grate
My favorite is when after you're dropped in the nest and you attempt to taste the dead Sequel Police officer and you hear Gary say, "Take it from someone who knows sick: licking corpses is going way beyond simple dementia. Get a grip, pal!"
Ha ha, the writing in Space Quest was great. Awesome video.
one of my favorite Easter eggs in SQ4 was flushing SQ4 in the toilet from the super computer. it literally closes out the game and sends you back to the dos prompt 🤣
I thought that was Space Quest 6
But still,the change machine is in the video still,and it is undeniably the best line in the game.
This game was SO awesome. there are so many other funny and good quotes but you can't fit them all in a video.
MrWhitman has that one in one of his "Ways to Lose" videos for this game.
You can also use the smell and taste actions on the Latex Babes of Astros.
"There is NO reply!"
He also was Space Ghost and Powdered Toast Man on Ren & Stimpy.
I'm not sure, but I think it might just be the same guy who voices Roger (Jeff Bender).
I remember if you talk to the bartender he says hey you owe me some money for breaking the slot machine from way back in Space quest 1
the narrator of this game is Gary Owens
It does work. I just didn't include it here.
After returning to NYC in 2013, my last visit being in 2000, I thought to myself: "The city looks different -- more modern, with a heavy dash of post-disaster seasoning."

Yeah, I was stuck on the Skate-O-Rama part.
Thank you!
WHAT'S GOIN' ON IN THERE?
The two geeks from Andromeda are in there signing copies of their latest release.
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE?
Like it says in the video's description, it's Gary Owens.
You forgot to try to use the hand icon with yourself. :D
These are just my personal faves.The hand interaction was memorable, but in my case, not _that_ memorable. :)
Akril
Ok. I love the humor though.
Hey! Keep your hands off yourself. This is a family game.
A family game with innuendos galore.
There's also the one on Xenon where he tastes the street.
I think one of them speeds up the "doom timer".
@topbluffa1 As I said in the description box, Vivendi Universal released Space Quest 4 in its new Space Quest Collection, so yes, you can buy it and all the other games in the series.
@BaneOfFreeSpeech Okay, thanks for confirming that. I'll add that info to the description.
Don't throw the bunny at the Sequel Policeman - he may have a hare trigger!
Miss these games. Can't wait for Ace Hardway
u flush it and you don';t just die u go back to windows or wherever u started your game from...that is messed up so if you hadn't thought to save recently then you have to do it all again
Shared to Sierra Gaming World private FB group
Excellent video Akril :)
"Help! A giant branch has penetrated my vital organs and I can't get up!"
Damn, we only had the disk version, I never got to hear all this narration spoken!
You can get the disc version on Steam now.
That first one I have memorized verbatim.
Epic game. Probably the best in the series.
@SantomPh As I said in the description of this video, they are compatible with Windows XP. I don't know about the newer systems, though.
Steam
gosh i loved this game growing up!! they dont make games like this anymore :( ...its a sorry state of affairs for gaming
My dad introduced me to it because it was a puzzle-based game and they thought it would be good for my brain.
We need all Space Quest fans to get on board the campaign for a new game from the Two Guys from Andromeda (SQ Creators!). Its only been 20 years in the making! tgakick.com
@ReadmanJ Jeff Bender, a programmer for Sierra at the time. (And thanks!)
I thought that didn't quite fit in with most of the other clips in this collection (in which the dialogue is the source of most of the humor). There weren't enough visual gags to balance things out.
@Akril I have windows 7 and the Space quest colletion works on my computer.
@sheriffayez
I KNEW it! Gary Owens, the one and only! He's a swell guy who's been in a lot of cartoons and other things. He was Space Ghost! Also, Powdered Toast Man.
Epic game and for it's time!
@topbluffa1 @topbluffa1 None of the versions of Space Quest 5 have voices. Sierra On-Line had some financial difficulties while the CD-ROM version of the game was being developed, and a "talkie" version was never released.
"NIIIEEEEU... Help, a giant branch has penetrated my vital organs and I can't get up!"
Lets Boogey Girls! *Dance* * Dance*! Love you Roger
This is actually hilarious hahah
Never got why Sq4 had voice over but 5 didn't! Well I guess save money!
What happens if you flush LSL4 or KQ
@topbluffa1 yup, on gog (good old games) or sq collections
What's going ON in there?
@Akril are they compatible with 2000s operating systems (XP, Vista etc?)
... I honestly think the voice of the dead guy in the nest was done by Weird Al.
I think it was done by Roger
Any Idea on who does Roger's Voice? cool vid, Space Quest rules!
Jeff Bender
