At the end of the summer I took my hard-earned $ to the Radio Shack, and I bought Space Quest 3.<br /><br />While SQ4 is definitely the diamond in the series in terms of overall polish and story development, SQ3 still holds a big space in my heart for sheer uniqueness and hilarious death sequences. "Good riddance to bad circuits." Ah, the height of parody for a 12 year old kid.<br /><br />I re-played SQ3 and SQ4 this year, and enjoyed every minute of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20638322.post-29514357883405407222010-05-12T14:29:21.096+03:002010-05-12T14:29:21.096+03:00No need to turn back either.
