Honestly I miss Carnegie Deli more than I miss Katz's Delicatessen, but if I ever made a New York City point-and-click set in the New York City of my youthful memory I'd find a way to include a scene at at Jahn's Ice Cream Parlor.

I bought the 3.5 disc of this, but curious what's needed to play it on windows 10?

Cheers for the shout out folks! Get ready for a nice tough developer score target :D

Wow, they were like, "we could come up with our own game format, but let's just crib every element straight out of a Lego game and do that." Like, the gameplay is a pretty straightforward lift, but somehow it's the score screens that really give it away

Will DecafJedi finally defeat Zane? Find out next time on Hypnospace Outlaw Z!!!

This is awesome!

Did children during that time say "Cool!"?

Lolz

Probably should have done a walk-around and given that specimen sled a good visual inspection before pushing it into the beams. You'll see a lot of guys making that kind of rookie mistake but it only takes a few seconds to do it by the books

I had this set up on a computer for a science project about computers in grade 4. So many kids wanted to play it and watch it I remember the teacher telling me I couldn't have it on the computer anymore. I also remember thinking the manual was awesome at the time. Talk about nostalgia.

Unfortunately a lot of the charm of Willy Beamish puzzles is lost when you can reload a save in less than thirty seconds.

1:12:15 the furniture in the mansion is reminiscent of Mordack's castle 😂

your playthrough made me learn about Exodos. Thank you! Was fun to watch you go through this weird game i love from my early childhood.

I love the Mons Prozac eyes, making note of the Prozac Overuse at the time. Doctors get huge get backs and would over sell it and misuse it like Oxycodone today.

This play through brings back so many buried memories. Much weirder than I remember. 😊

I think my favorite deaths are in the VGA version of SQ1, specifically the ones where they have the instant replay/commentary accompanying the usual snarky rebukes. It hit the "Two Guys" tone just right, and I laughed and laughed the first time I encountered one of those. I wish they'd done that for all the deaths in the game, although I'm sure it was a lot of work to do that for the two or three deaths they did. Perfection!

Back when kids games had big titty nurses. Like they just put that in there, on purpose 😂

Used to love this game

At 13:01 Creators knew what they were doing.

This game is so weird when you look at it with 2025 eyes. It's a mix of G and R content, like an adult and kids game made into one. But we did not yet understand are known what to do with the rating system, leading to stuff like this, Also the idea kids understand, so why hide it to a point.

1:17:48 the kids sound like the same pitch editing as the ones in The Christmas Tree movie. If you’re unsure what I mean, Nostalgia Critics Worst Christmas Special Ever review. The voice is exact as the “alien” sounding kid.

18:01 It’s the grandpa from Troll 2!

I had a principal like that, when someone talked about him being bald he overheard us and said “bald is beautiful” 😂

This game is a treasure.

Fun game, good stream. I kind of miss seeing the twitch chat when you play these full screen games, but I understand it would be hard to find a place to put it without sacrificing the gameplay visibility.

What happens if you put your head in the pool to drink water?

I was 11 when this game came out. We had an Apple IIgs and this game was so fucking weird. I could never understand it.

Congrats on 1K, it was a while ago but I don't think you've mentioned it on stream.

2:44:31 You didn't give him a chance to explain himself.

I love this game and TXF and just finished watching your series. This is maybe a bit unfair as i have played through it already 2 times in the last 25 years and you played it live and for the first time, but there is a logic to the movement (you turn 90 degrees everytime, in some special areas it's 180) and in some areas you didn't use that and then got lost because you acted too hastily (in Rauchs house or the trainyard for example). This made me scream at my laptop a few times :D But yeah this game is very hard, trial&error-heavy and lots of pixel hunting. I wouldn't encourage players (especially live streamers) to play this without a walkthrough or without the help function that you can activate in the options menu (it shows you hints in the top right corner). It may not feel as rewarding playing it this way but at least you see all of this interactive movie, on my first try i got stuck at the first warehouse (it was the time before internet was everywhere, you had to buy the guide). Anyway this was a great nostalgic watch and i subscribed!

How are you supposed to know to do that moon logic puzzle? Why, it's elementary my dear Watson.

Thanks for the playthrough! This game sneaked up on me because I've been offline for so long, but any new game from Akril is a welcome treat. I also had to finish the game through your LP just because I was playing on an older unpatched version where Edgar will forever be stuck on a cliff. This fan-game pulls on all my nostalgia heartstrings and was beautifully animated. Akril gets the biggest thumbs up from me for such an amazing fan-game. This is absolutely what I needed in my life right now.

DOSember!

Love this game with all my heart

This was really, really funny.

You know how I think they could've resolve this love triangle? In the supposed 7th title, they could've made a villain who intends to clone Roger for their army. Since he defeated many criminals throughout the galaxy, it would've made the villain misguidedly believe him to be highly valuable specimen. Again, mirroring Sharpei's original plan to take over his body and all. So, during the game, the clone, who turns out to be a better version of the original Roger, ends up falling for Beatrice, who reciprocates his feelings. And there you go. With Roger still technically being Roger jr.'s father, the latter still ends up being born and saving him in SQ4. And with no commitment to both Bea and the time paradox that preserves his existence, he can finally enter a relationship with Stellar. Be free to point out every inconsistency in this scenario, as it's been awhile since I revisited SQ series, after all. Merry Christmas, by the way)

I can't get audio to sync on this one either

It took me 20+ years to find this game again. I could not rememebr the name and have been searching for so long. Thank you for this! Our IBM computer only displayed in orange/brown shades, so it is really nice to see the game in color.

Never saw these with the sierra games I played. And I used ot have the "Space Quest" collection.

Thanks for putting these on youtube. I was a play-tester for this and was referencing your playthroughs to see if I could duplicate the bugs you had.

Very intersting comparing the 1986 and 1988 ones

Very fun; I remember seeing some of these before. Aside from being a store owner, was there any other way people ended up with these? Did Sierra send them out to newsletter subscribers or anything? I could just google this myself but I guess I've chosen the path of content engagement 😉

The closest we get to a Sierra Christmas Quest...or Bible Quest..., though we do have Sam and Max Ice Station Santa, and very brief AGS stories. I guess they figure it's not good business to make a game that people may only buy/play during December (even though they rushed other games to release in that month). 1988 is my favorite, though some disappointment they didn't play silent night on the MT-32. Some nice music on 1992 though, and I love the snowy version of the Sierra logo.

Oh Jim, Jim, Jim. It's a little like when Michael Scott wrote a spy movie script

I couldn't get anywhere without the hint book. Major letdown. SpaceQuest 5 was in my opinion the best one, and beatable without cheating or looking into hints.

1:19:21 whenever it comes back from a computer screen and Sonny's tapping away he really looks like the keyboard cat in that old gif!

If I remember correctly, the creators of SQ said that they regret creating Beatrice in the first place, 'cuz forcing Rog to being committed to just one woman due to a time paradox reasons limits comedy around his love life. Again, I could be wrong and I don't have the source to this anymore. Roger has a fun chemistry with Stellar. Maybe they were planning on addressing this love triangle and hooking them both together somehow in the next game before it got cancelled?
