Space Quest I EDIT CONFIG.SYS QUEST
In our EDIT CONFIG.SYS QUESTs Josh is joined by JAB and/or a guest host and they dig into an old PC-compatible game, with the assistance of vintage game literature – and then pod about it, in incredibly in-depth fashion, the entire way.
Starting with a Sierra adventure game was an obvious choice for the dudes, and much deliberation was had as to whether they’d go King or Space, but ultimately the decision was made to go with the one they had a slightly lesser familiarity with – the 1991 VGA remaster of Space Quest I: Roger Wilco in the Sarien Encounter. For accompanying literature we utilized the pack-in instruction manual, the official Sierra VGA Hint Book, and another COMPUTE Books-published companion piece written by Jill Champion and Richard Leinecker called The Official Guide to Roger Wilco’s Space Adventures.
Thee podcast recordings documenting our collective quests through the game spanned a total running time of 274 minutes broken up over two episodes. You can listen to the FULL EDIT CONFIG.SYS QUEST HERE, or listen to individual episodes on your preferred pod player via the links listed in King Lorik’s Imperial Scrolls of Honor herein.
