The game was programmed using Sierra's AGI engine and featured a pseudo-3D environment, allowing the character to move in front of and behind background objects.

Roger emerges from an on-duty nap in a broom closet to find the ship has been taken over by the sinister Sariens.

Listal: Space Quest series
A very popular sci-fi adventure series from Sierra went thru six different versions before it faded off to space. What made this series so popular was it's milk-out-of-your-nose level of humor found thru each game, as well as hundreds of easy ways for our janitor hero to die. If you're a fan of sci-fi movies, you'll really appreciate all the parodies throughout the series. Sierra tried to revive the series with 'Space Quest"
