@@owengrant9066 I wish we could get more games like Day of the Tentacle which had really excellent puzzles, but plenty of point and click games coming out nowadays are better than space quest 1. Don't see what's wrong with complaining about a bad parser, a crap arcade sequence, required save scumming, a "puzzle" that requires you to stand in a specific spot and look at the ship in order to know that a required item exists, etc. I guess you could consider it part of the fun to hunt for required items and figure out what arcane commands are needed and stuff like that. There is something charmingly antagonistic about the game design, but it doesn't seem like a more thoughtful or intelligent game. It just hates you.
Would love to see your take on the Quest For Glory series next. QFG1 is my childhood and has a "modernized" version (no text entries) if you want to take a break from trying to find the correct words in a lexicon. (Although by the time QFG started, the lexicon was so improved that speedrunners are breaking the game by typing only a few letters per prompt in the original text based version)
@@Volvary Quest for Glory is definitely on the cards with how much it's been requested, though I'd like to keep these Sierra games in a somewhat chronological manner, so I need to escape the AGI period first...
I have to appreciate how you gradually started thinking the way the game wanted you to, and began catching more traps and hidden interactions before they could screw you over. It's one of those skills no one should ever have to learn.
I already knew immediately the beam puzzle would get to you. Both Guys from Andromeda acknowledge it as one of the most frustrating puzzles in the game, because the solution isn't communicated to you in any way.
The adhd needing another gaming retrospective hits too hard, i just almost finished dungeon chill's yesterday. I use them as bg noise for crocheting haha
Count me in as looking forward to King's Quest III. On one hand, the game makes a lot of steps forward for the series. It has a lot more story, its more focused, it doesn't just dump you in a field and ask you to solve random puzzles. Its the first game in the series that really feels like the King's Quest that comes later. On the other hand, boy does this game make some choices. Some absolutely wild choices.
But that mountain path… soooo many deaths. And the wizard annihilating you if you didn’t get your tasks done in time… or stepped in the wrong room. Still. Fantastic game!
YAY SOMETHING I CAN WATCH OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER! Thank you :D
Don't stop uploading Pak, I love your content. From your hits like Iron Lung, the Doom mod and Signalis, to your game demo recommendations. I discovered some real gems because of those. Keep it up!
It seems like these don't get the views they deserve, but I'm really glad you make them. No other RUclipsr does trepidation, bewilderment, and frustration as well as you do, and these games are perfect for that haha, keep it up! I never played these but always wanted to, so it's nice watching you play, especially when you don't know what you're doing. It feels like getting the full experience that way.
The remake of the game that Sierra put out about 5 years later using their more advanced SCI game engine took the opportunity to give the player ways to bypass or at least better understand the more obscure puzzles of the original. The crashed spaceship actually has the survival kit and pieces of broken glass in the sand outside, with the glasa helpfully glittering in the sun to make it super obvious. It's made easier to force the spider droid to encounter Orat (the original game requires a very specific set of events to happen to make sure Orat is triggered inside the cave at the same time the spider is chasing you; the remake just spawns Orat in the cave all the time). The arcade Skimmer sequence can be skipped, as can the fruit machine in the Bar (through use of a magnet you can find back at the start of the game). While these quality of life changes don't really change the overall game, they do make some of it's more 'ambiguous' puzzles easier to figure out. It's still possible to go into the caverns without picking up the glass shard in this remake, but if you don't try to pick up the now super obvious glass pieces that literally sparkle for you, then it's more the player's own fault than in the original. 🤣
Thanks for bringing my memories back, watching this video is much more fun then replaying them. Looking for more old school Sierra games! Already watched Kings Quest 1-2 and it was also super fun ! Keep going!
10-year-old me in 1987 managed to solve the glass/laser puzzle in a couple hours, but completely failed to find Orat's cave and had to resort to the hint book. I thought Orat was the sand monster that grabs you if you go in the wrong direction, and tried to have the spider follow me into the desert.
I very rarely watch 20 minutes of somebody's video and click subscribe. Well deserved, great content. And great ear for music, seems like some of the best games of the times are really spreading in influence.
So glad to see this, was jusy rewatching the House video, and then saw the kingquests, and thought to myself "I never could finish the first space quest". And now we're here.
The magnet would have helped reduce the gambling. It was fun watching, well listening, to an adult man grumble at a game I beat as a ten year old without any sort of help. King's Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, and Space Quest were IQ tests in the 80s the are impatience tests today. I didn't even know there was a help guide ... until to today. I spend weeks beating Space Quest. Between being in the 5th grade and homework and chores.
I can't say what my job is but I have a very important job and an EXTREMELY boring task came up and this saved me and made me do it. You're a literal hero. Thank you.
youre like my favroite youtuber, I found you for life is strange abridged but im staying for the video game content that i love so much. I love your humor and your way of showing the games is so entertaining and easy to understand. keep it up my man!
Dan from Game Grumps played through a bunch of these games and talked about playing them as a child, and the process of figuring out the puzzles over months of trying which I really recommend checking out to see a bit more of these games!
This video, and the King's Quest ones, has to be one of the most entertainingly infuriating one I've ever watched. I genuinely swore out loud in public in exasperation after the jetpack part. Holy f*ing hell, WHY would ANYONE design a game like this?!?! Thank God I'm not playing it, and thank YOU for playing it, PowerPak. Have been really enjoying your content recently :)
Watching you play this is frustrating... But fun. Brings back memories of my first time playing it when I was like 6 or 7. Thought, I'm pretty sure I found the glass in my first play-througj, though I was taught when playing these games to use "look" a lot, particularly when any element of the game changes or progresses.
i love these old school pc game reviews/playthroughs the most. i really hope you keep going with the kings quest and sierra games. great, great, GREAT job man. keep up the awesome work
I had an interesting Space Quest walkthrough as a kid, it covered the first 3 games and was written as a play-by-play telling of the game by Roger Wilco. I dont know if it was an official guide or not, but I must have read that thing a hundred times back then. I remember having a very similar guide for Quest for Glory games, where the walkthrough was written as a sort of novel detailing the main character's travels through the games.
Oh boy. Between KQ3 and SQ2, I'm not sure which will have you raging harder. Looking forward to it! 😈😈 Oh, and funny thing. Yes, that was ZZ Top in the bar, and Sierra got sued over it. The SQ series actually became a bit infamous for being a lawsuit magnet, forcing multiple revised versions over the years.
Ah space quest. Such an amazing series. Space quest 4 was one of my absolute favourites as a kid. I just watched the space quest historian do a playthrough not that long ago.
Fond memories of Space Quest 1 - playing on my Tandy Computer. I somehow managed all those puzzles at the age of 12, i think back then with all the choose your own adventure style games and books, it was easier. If I were to play this today, I'd lose it!
I still laugh sometimes thinking about the dwarf appearing and stealing your treasure chest in the Kings Quest video. I was delighted to see a space quest video pop up the other day! I think I only played one of the later space quests… but that was also around the time I began to give up on the sierra game torture and leaned into Lucas Arts
that game is actually insane man i love those video seeing those old games where many "make sense" things we have in today's age did not exact at the time

At least gladiator were treated like rockstars, this game just treat him like crap
@@strikeforce1500 And unlike poor Roger, gladiators didn't get killed - contrary to popular belief.

It's the adventure game callus so to speak.

* Insert Spongebob hyperventilating. *
All deaths should be Orat basketballing you. The sound and the look at the camera are just perfect
And just when we needed him (read: my ADHD needed another hour long gaming retrospective), he returned. Perfect timing.
Extremely stooked!

this game series is so good now i need to replay all king quest, police quest and space quest. fun, hilarious, original. nothing else like it today

Yeass
When you use the Cruelty Squad theme around 20 minutes it fits so perfectly lmao incredible work
I know these aren't the most popular vids. But they make my brain happy so thank you
Hell yeah, another PowerPak video about a game that came out before I was born.
I’m happy this is here I have been rewatching the King’s Quest videos
Hell yeah, love those videos on early point and click games!
Point and click but your character is the pointer.
Showing Dandy from "Space Dandy" when you pointed out that its a different game, but IN SPACE made me chuckle
Gee, it sure is cold outside- almost like there's no kind of atmosphere. Makes me feel all alone, more or less.
The Quest games were so much fun. Played 'em all, loved 'em all.
Oh, magnificent, a new powerpak video! Time to watch this one seventeen times.
Wow, blast from the past! I loved the Space Quest series. Cheers for the memories!
Thanks for bringing my memories back, watching this video is much more fun then replaying them. Looking for more old school Sierra games! Already watched Kings Quest 1-2 and it was also super fun ! Keep going!
I was summoned by the Red Dwarf theme tune.
11:22 I love how you react with dread to how hot it is on the planet, but it’s still cooler than my home in summer (I live in Las Vegas)

Another 10/10. Keeping killing it Pak
Those deaths were a big part of the charm. We wanted to see how many ways can wilco die. I loved these sierra and lucas art adventure games!
Cant wait to see you take on the sequels, I have some fond memories of 4
Ah so good, nice to see a fresh playthrough! Look forward to hopefully seeing the rest of the series
Man if you play all of these, I will be so psyched
I can't say what my job is but I have a very important job and an EXTREMELY boring task came up and this saved me and made me do it. You're a literal hero. Thank you.

omg, I actually had totally forgotten that dreaded slot machine, think my mind wanted to save me... thanks for the reminder :) great video mate.
