Yep, that creature probably got me 50 times.

'Rub berries on self'?! Twenty years later it all suddenly makes sense. Curse you, Space Quest 2!

If you free the little alien BEFORE getting the berries, you can observe the alien picking up berries where the carnivorous vine is, and later before getting in the water, you see it rubbing the berries on its body and jumping in.

it took me long enough back then, but I figured it out. that moment will always stay with me!

Thank you so much for this, just a nice quick no-nonsense and no commentary run through of the game. Very relaxing to watch.

I'm surprised how beautiful the art is in Space Quest II when compared to SQ1.

It was next level

I got stuck for an entire summer on the hold breath when ducking under the water. Oh to come upon against the impenetrable barrier of a pre-internet Sierra adventure game puzzle. Then one day the solution occurred to me, and it was like travelling to another world!

I know... It was crazy back then. If you didn't know somebody, personally, who had played through the game and could help you, (which was unlikely,) there was no way to get any help for these games - other than ordering a hint book. (Which I had to do for King's Quest III...)

@@andystandys Unfortunately I think Sierra did this kind of thing deliberately to sell those hint books and calls to their hint-line. It doesn't make much sense in this case. If he wasn't holding his breath wouldn't he swallow water right away instead of getting as far as he can?

KQ 1-7, QfG 1-5, PQ, SQ 1-6, Phantasmagoria, Leisure Suit Larry, Freddy Farkas, Torin's Passage... All Sierra games, all are games I've played and enjoyed. I wish they would rebuild and buy their properties back from Activision.

The Space Quest series were my favourite games ever. On my XT, in black and white and no mouse. Ahh, the memories. Thanks for putting this up.

@@leow637 That’s crazy! I remember finding it strange at the time that everyone else’s displays were green and black or orange and black. I had an Amiga 500, and most games were the quality of the arcades at the time, with fully synthesised music. So the beeps and highly pixelated graphics were a huge step backwards. But, being able to interact with a story, rather than another action arcade platformer, was still groundbreaking to me as a kid. It was very cinematic.

I never thought I'd see the end of this game! Played it when I was 10, 35 years ago. My native language isn't english so I didn't know what I was doing. Love this video!

this game was awesome. one if my favorites from when I was a child

Your celebrated herodom slowly fades leaving you, once again, a janitor. The promotion to head janitor was no consolation. (Especially since you are the ONLY member of the janitorial staff.) Damn, that's just good writing.

my mother and i beat this game when we first got a computer still not sure how we beat it

Ridiculously hard puzzles. Thing is though that when you finally figured one out, it was that much more rewarding.

Damn, games were so hard back in the days. Of course with no internet to google walk throughs. I never made it past the kraken thing. :( Thanks for bringing back some kind of fun memories...or lets say...some memories. :D

Well, the problem with most of these adventure games is that you aren't given any hints or help. You're literally a character on screen one, with 3 objects you could interact with but you have no idea what those objects are, or where they are at. I used to play this and I never knew about throwing the rock at the guard, until I seen it in this video. Sierra adventure games are awesome, don't get me wrong. King Arthur and the quest for the holy grail, took me a full year to finally beat as a kid. I was stuck at the part in these catacombs where there was a small mummy or figurine in this cutout in the wall, wearing a medallion that you needed, but you couldn't just take it with your hands, because of the vile rats. Finally I figured out the command, 'use sword on medallion' and King Arthur uses his sword on the edge of it so that it slides on the sword.

I never finished the game because of that stupid kissing alien. I could never get into the escape pod because of that mistake earlier in the game. The one thing I really hated about Sierra games.

My childhood! Also I appreciate no commentary.

Great upload. Thanks

Man, what a crazy ending after the SQ1 hero ceremony.

One of the best Sierra games ever.

The only thing worse then navigating through the maze is knowing you have to get back out of it . Lol

Rad. Thanks for just posting the play through as is, without some commentary schtick.

That stupid creature at 9:14 is my biggest memory from this game. I guess I got eaten by it that many times. I have a feeling I never got past about 14:25 or 15:00. Not sure if I just lost interest at that point, but I remember trying to get through SQ1 much more than this game.

What keeps the dust and debris from floating away with the broom? I mean, why broom at all?

Always wanted to play this, only had Space Quest I growing up. It looks harder and not as fun.

I played this game as a child in the 1990's and was stuck at 9:18 for literally 2 years because I didn't realize the vine floated off the ground...

I made it to through the game and was some kind of frustrated how I ended. I always thought I missed something, but apparently it really ended like this.

i was 8 years old when i played this game and got stuck at @16:53 ....40 year old me is now surprised i made it even that far haha!

can't believe i beat this without a guide

Don't lie. You called the hint line that costed 4 dollars a minute like I did. Or got the hint book with the weird magnifying red glass to get the hints. Then your parents beat us because we called that line

I’d love it if someone modernised the sounds and mixed the soundtracks of the other games in the title to a modded version of this, where the graphics are still exactly the same.

1:25 I didn’t know EGA had that pink color... did it?

How did you get the abort code?

Where can I get these early space quest, kings quest, games? I’ve looked around but I can only find the ‘remake’ versions with updated graphics, and I don’t want those.
