Space Quest. Most people don't even know what that means (dread the thought) maybe even you. Well, if you are one of those unfortunate people, Space Quest is the greatest adventure game series of all time (HA, take that Roberta Williams!). Anyway, the hero of this series is a janitor. Yes, a janitor. A janitor that has saved the universe six times, that is. Believe me, it's a long story (for the complete SQ story, click here). The name of this "special" janitor is Roger Wilco!, a great man, a man of action, a man who spends his time cleaning toilets! In SQI Roger saves the galaxy from the evil Sludge Vohaul and the Sariens. In SQII Vohaul gets his revenge by plotting to invade Xenon (Roger's home planet) with door to door salesman!
Space Quest III starts off where SQII left off. Roger is drifting into space when a garbage scow picks him up. Roger escapes, and soon finds out he has to save his creators. The Two Guys from Andromeda (Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe). So Roger saves the two guys from the evil clutches of Scumsoft headquarters. On the way back to Xenon the two guys get a job on Earth at Sierra On Line, and go on creating the Space Quest series so there can be a SQ IV. In SQIV, Roger returns to Xenon for the first time since Space Quest II. He is currently bragging aboout his past adventures in a local bar when some Sequel Police take him outside. Roger soon learns that he is about to die. Then suddenly two mysterious people come and rescue Roger. Roger is then forced to go in a time warp which takes him to Space Quest XII. Roger soon learns that Vohaul is trying to take over Roger, Jr.'s body (his future son). He also learns that Beatrice Wankmeister will be his future wife. In the end, Roger is transported back to his present time.
In Space Quest V Roger is currently in school at StarCon. If he aces this test, he gets promoted to a captain! So what does he do, he cheats. And, gets every answer right for that matter (well, actually the computer screwed up). So Roger is now a captain of a garbage scow searching the universe for trash. Roger also meets Beatrice Wankmeister at StarCon. Roger soon realizes that Captain Quirk (the bad guy) is really a psycho power freak and is transformed into a primordial soupish creature who tries to kill Roger and the rest of his crew. Roger then saves the Universe (once again), and him and Beatrice live happily ever after, until Space Quest 6. In the last chapter (so far...) Roger is busted big time at StarCon for the events in SQV, and is sent down from a captain to a 2nd class janitor on the Deepship 86. On the way to saving the world Roger meets Stellar Santiago, who saves his life twice, finds out an evil, old person named Sharpei wants to take over Stellar's body. So, (this is getting old) Roger goes inside Stellar's body and destroys Sharpei for good. Oh yeah, by the way, in case you didn't know Space Quest 7 has been cancelled by Sierra.
