Space Quest I by Sierra-on-line Game: Space Quest 1 Last modified: 26/1/2000 Version: 1.0 Author: Tom Hayes E-mail: marblestone007@yahoo.com CONTENTS I - Introduction II - Who made Space Quest? III - The Guide to Space Quest I IV - Cheats V - Easter Eggs VI - Conclusion I. Introduction Well, I'm all set to write my first ever FAQ. I've decided that instead of going straight ahead and writing a massive guide for some huge game, I'm first going to write a guide on one of my favourite adventure games, Space Quest 1. Admittedly, I'm probably over a decade late in writing this FAQ, however, I've looked at some websites, and there is not one piece of information on the Space Quest games :( No! This cannot be! Space Quest really is a good game. despite being made in 1987, it has greater playability and replay value than some of the games that are out at the moment. There's no excuse for not getting this great game. I got it by buying the Space Quest collection, but you can definitly get it somewhere on the internet, and it's definitly worth at least trying to get it. Providing you can get around the graphics, you might start to enjoy it. This is version 1.0 of the FAQ. In the future, I'm planning to add more easter eggs, glitches and codes, as well as a review and some questions. II. Who made Space Quest? Space Quest I was made by Sierra-on-line in 1987, who also made the Kings Quest, Police Quest, Quest for Glory and Gabriel Knight series. Space Quest was one of the first games Sierra-on-line made. Naturally, it was a great success, and back in those days, great games spawned many sequels, and so it did. III. The guide Well, this is what I'm writing this FAQ for, so here I go. As I've said before, this is the first FAQ I've written, so feel free to e-mail me and tell me how to make it better. Anyway, this guide is split into four parts, so if you're stuck on a certain part of the game (not likely), just jump to that point. Although this guide is written to show you how to get maximum points, it doesn't show you all the places and things to do in the game. Try completing the game by using this guide first, and then complete it again by exploring all of the areas. Anyway, onward to the guide! Part 1 - Escaping the space ship Arcada You stumble out of the broom closet - west - west - east - wait until man enters - wallk over to the man and type "look man" - walk over to the monitor and type "look monitor" - type "astral bodies" - wait until the machine gets the data cartridge and then type "get cart" - west - west - "search man" - "get keycard" - east - enter elevator east - enter elevator - east - walk up to control panel and type "push open bay door" - east - walk up to slot and type "put keycard in slot" - enter elevator - walk to the control panel and type "push airlock button" - walk to the two buttons on the wall and type "push left button" - "push right button" - "get gadget" - "get suit" - west - walk to the control panel and type "push platform button" - walk to the left side of the pod and type "enter pod" - "close door" - "fasten seatbelt" - "push power button" - "pull lever" - "push autonav" Part 2 - On the planet Kerona Your in the pod which has crash landed on the desert planet Kerona - "unfasten belt" - "get kit" - "get out of ship" - walk to the front of the ship and type "get glass" - east - east - east - you should see a path leading up the mountain, go up the path until you get to a bridge - cross the bridge but stop behind the rock at the other side - after a while a spider droid should come down out of the sky, your aim is to crush the spider droid - type "push rock" but DON'T hit return just yet - SAVE - when the spider droid is between the two green plants, hit return. The rock should have crushed the spider droid. If not, restore the game and try again - When you have crushed the spider droid, continue up the path until you get to an area with a broken arch. Walk through the center of the arch, and you will go down on a secret platform - You are now in a cave. You should be able to see a rock in this area, walk up to it and type "get rock" - west - you are now in a room with a grating. In the grating is a big green blob that kills you and is REALLY annoying if you don't know how to do this puzzle. All you have to do is walk along the top of the grating (ARGH! The days I spent looking for something to kill this thing!) - walk over to the geyser and type "put rock in geyser" - north - head to the back of the room, and then head west - walk close to the beams and then type "hold glass in beam" - follow the path that was previously blocked by the beams - SAVE - walk carefully past the acid drops - "turn dial on gadget" - east - a big fat head will come and moan at you, basically it says that you have to destroy a beast called Orat who is living on the surface otherwise he won't let you past! BLACKMAIL!!! Oh well, we'll forgive the fat head, who rudely returns you to the surface to go on your quest - Follow the path down to the bottom, noticing that the bridge is becoming more and more unsteady each time you cross it - north - open kit - type "throw water" but DON'T press return - SAVE - east - press return and Orat will be blown apart - walk over to the part of Orat and type "get part" - west - south - follow the path up all the way until you get to the broken arch - go down on the secret platform, and get to the big head again, remembering to avoid the blob at the grating and the acid drops - you should now be at the big head, he wants proof so type "drop part" - a door opens - north - walk up to the slot and type "put cart in slot" - note the password '6858' - "get cart" - walk over to the skimmer and type "get in skimmer" - SAVE - turn key - you've now taken off in your skimmer and must play a very annoying sub-game. What you have to do is to steer left and right avoiding the asteroids. Whenever you get to a safe spot where you see no asteroids, save the game. Eventually, you will arrive at Ulence Flats. Part 3 - At Ulence Flats You have arrived at Ulence Flats in your skimmer - "get key" - "get out of skimmer" - A man should come along and ask you if he can buy your skimmer for 30 buckazoids. Ignore him - enter bar - leave bar - the same man will come along again but he will ask you if he can buy your skimmer for 30 buckazoids AND a jetpack. Type "yes" - enter the bar - walk over to the bar and type "buy beer" - "drink beer" - "buy beer" - "drink beer" - "buy beer" - "drink beer" - after the third beer, two people will start talking, listen to there conversation as they say something about a sector (most likely sector HH). Now we have to find some way of getting to sector HH, and for that, we'll need money, and 24 buckazoids is not enough money. - Walk over to the arcade machine - The aim here is to win 250 buckazoids, this is not an easy task as the arcade machine is random, and as far as I know, there's no way of cheating. So save the game first, and then bet $3 on every go. This will take a while, but when you have $250 the machine should break, don't worry, this is all the money we need - west - north - east - enter Droids-B-Us - follow the person upstairs, and walk up to the white robot - "buy robot" - exit Droids-B-Us - south - west - west - north - "buy ship" - "climb ladder" - "push "button - the droid will ask you what sector you want to go to (type the sector you overheard in the bar, most likely "HH") - The ship will now take off. Part 4 - Deltaur "wear jetpack" - "get out of ship" - Float your way over to the door and type "open door" - enter the door - you are now in a place with an unopenable door. Fortunatly, there is a droid going in and out of the door, so when it comes out of the door, quickly rush in before the door closes - walk over to the chest and type "open chest" - "get in chest" - You will be carried to another room - "open chest" - walk over to the washing machine and type "open washing machine" - "get in washing machine" - you will change into a sarien uniform - "open washing machine" - east - walk over to the guard and type "talk guard" (Keep talking to the guard and he will keep saying different things. If at one point, he asks you if you have played Kings Quest III, respond by saying 'yes'. You will get 5 points!) - "kiss guard" - enter left elevator - west - enter elevator - east - east - east - "look suit" - walk over to the counter and type "show ID" - while the robot's gone, quickly walk to the bottom of the counter and type "get grenade" - walk over to the robot and he will give you a weapon - west - walk above the guard and type "drop grenade" - east - show ID - while thr robot's gone, quickly type "get grenade" (As far as I know, you don't use this other grenade, but it gives you 1 point, so I guess it doesn't really matter) - west - west - west - uh oh! You are now revealed, be extremely careful, and save your game very often. You can fire your pulseray by pressing F6, but be warned, the guards are very quick, and your weapon will be of no use against the robots. Fire your gun when necessary! - enter elevator - east - east - "search guard" - "push button" - walk up to the star generator and type "look panel" - enter the password '6858' by using the buttons, and then press enter button (on the panel) - west - enter elevator - enter right elevator - walk over to the ship and type "enter ship" - "push button" And you've completed the game! Hopefully with 202/202 points! Woohooo! IV. Cheats 1. Hold Alt + D to enter a special mode. Now type "get object", followed by an object number to get any object in the game. 2. Hold Alt + D to enter a special mode. Now type "tp", followed by a room number to get to any room in the game. V. Easter Eggs Easter eggs are special hidden things that are put in a game by the programmers just for fun. Easter eggs don't actually do much, they just provide you with fun things to try. Try some of these easter eggs: 1. At any place in the game, type "Scott" or "Scott Murphy" to get a special message. 2. Walk behind Droids-B-Us and type "take leak". Roger will say one of three messages. 3. Well, see the cheats section of this FAQ. These are cheats that are not meant to be found, so I guess they count as easter eggs. 4. When you're in the ship after just escaping Arcada, type "press don't touch button" to see a funny scene! VI. Conclusion Well, I'm finally finished. I actually enjoyed writing this FAQ. Ahh, I like adventure games soooo much, but I'll probably write a FAQ on a more up to date game next.
