1. 2:17 Walks in room, sees dead bodies on floor below. "Oh, hell, no!" walks out. :)
   Ahh.. so many memories. I remember I got stuck on the Orat puzzle. I managed to kill him, but I couldn't figure out the exact phrase to get the "proof" I needed. (Tried "Take Orat", "take body", "take guts" etc.)
2. this game is a copy of peasant's quest
3. oh no, not the blues bros :D
4. oh solove this game even though i never exspirienced games like this in my childhood, it have becomed a personal favorite, it is really inspirational

7. Loved this game. Brings me back to my youth
8. Space quest and hero quest (or quest for glory or whatever) where my absolute favorite games in the late 80s
9. this game left such an incredible impression on me as a young fella. my dad used to play it while i was looking over his shoulder. what an adventurous time it was!
10. Not bad at all, thank you
11. This was my favorite game on Apple II GS, and I think is the best of the original line of Sierra On-Line games (Kings Quest 1-3, Leisure Suit Larry 1, Space Quest 1, Police Quest 1). It's too bad there are no internet videos that show these games with the Apple II GS sound...
    
    The puzzles that stumped me as a kid...
    1) The glass shard from the broken escape pod is a tricky find since it can not be seen and is only vaguely mentioned in the description when the "Look" command is used.
    
    2) It's very easy to forget about having the Astral Body cartridge in inventory and to miss the cartridge playing machine when you first get the Sand Skimmer. If this isn't done, then you don't get the Star Generator's self-destruct code and you will get stuck at the end.
    
    3) Avoiding the Sariens at the beginning can be a pain. I used to dread the YOU THINK YOU HEAR FOOTSTEPS message appearing at the bottom of the screen.
    
    4) After getting the droid and the ship, the droid asks what sector to head for. The way to get the name of the sector is to have three beers at the bar, then you overhear other space pilots discussing Sector HH. I wandered all over Ulence Flats and searched everything before finally getting it right.
    
    5) If you don't refuse the initial sales offer for the sand skimmer, you will not get the jetpack and will get stuck later.
    
    Despite these flaws, this is still my favorite Sierra On-Line game, and my favorite game from all those Apple II GS games I had.
12. How'd you manage to win that much that quick on the slot machine? I always had to do a lot of saving and restoring.
13. You are a janitor...yes a janitor... And not a very good one.
14. I got to the boulder field on part 2 watching the 10-minute versions then gave up for awhile.
15. Guess I will watch these since I loved the other playthroughs!
