Let's Play Space Quest 3 - FULL GAME

[@Dilandau3000]

This is the original Space Quest 3 Let's Play from 2010; all the original videos were combined into a single video, and upscaled to 1440p. Of the three I've done so far, this game probably benefits the most from the upscaling. This is due to the SCI0 engine's heavy use of dithering, which KZbin didn't handle all that well at 480p (this is why for King's Quest 1 and 4, I used ScummVM's undithering feature, which I don't think existed yet when I did this game). At the higher resolution, the dithered areas look much better, though the only way to see them as they are meant to look is still to use a CRT monitor. Now, who's up for a game of Astro Chicken?

[@stgibbs86]

No friggin way! This is awesome! Thank you SOOOO much! You didnt have to do this, but you are kind and fixed it. Thank you again.

[@nicholasimholte7359]

Does Arnoid track you to any other place, or just Phleebut?

[@Dilandau3000]

​@@nicholasimholte7359 Only Phleebut.

BACOCK! 💪🐥

[@andy-nicholson]

What I really love about these let’s plays is their steady pace - no rushing, no jump cuts.

[@mrsamtheman80]

Oh boy, next time we will join our friend and semi-hero, Roger Wilco, for his first voiced adventure!

[@johnboats9075]

This is my favorite of the series. I like 5 and 6 but 3 is the last one to have the type in commands and it seems like the end of an era. But its also the story that I finf interesting. From space hulk to burger joint to bland corporate hq, hell there is even a giant mech fight. Its just such a ride! Thank you for the re-upload of one of my top 10 games!

[@Someguy_9]

Oh, man, perfect timing! I find your cadence rather calming and even - I often put on a playlist of yours to help me sleep. I was juuust about to settle in for a nap when this pops up!

[@MaverickHunterXZA]

Heh, so i'm not alone :D Have a good nap!

[@xgentis]

Thank you for this compilation.

[@MikeMayer]

Thanks again for making these reformatted and updated quality videos! 🎉

[@captainawf2341]

Hey man, just wanted to say i cound your channel the other day and have been going to sleep to your Space Quest 1&2 videos. I appreciate these full gane playthroughs with you actually reading. A lot of videos are no commentary/dialogue and that's a let down on these older retro games. Keep up the good work my dude~

[@mikemoritzgamer]

Boy howdy, i love the score for this game. The MT-32 sounds wonderful

[@castirondude]

Ah, we get another episode of Sven Junior time traveling to 2024! Yes!

[@RedKnightm]

while SQ5 is my favorite, I do like the fully incompetent misadventures of a lanky janitor who with sheer moxie, avoids death and defeats world/galactic threats. it always comes off as pure luck with little skill (not that he has any). A perfect hero for a Sierra point and click adventure game.

[@Dilandau3000]

It truly goes to show that anyone can be a hero (as long as they can save/restore)!

[@craigbrotherton8679]

According to space quest historian, the only way to make the game unwinnable is by waiting in the mallard for 18 hours, which triggers the final fight early

[@Terezar]

Yeah, apparently, there's a hidden timer that was left in that triggers the final dogfight scene. It takes 18 hours before it runs out, but it is technically possible.

[@micahbush5397]

There's a second way, actually: If you destroy Arnoid using the pods, then spend all your money without buying the Orat-on-a-Stick and lose the anemometer pole while vaulting over the gap on Ortega, then the game is unwinnable because you can't retrieve the invisibility belt from under the pods.

[@micahbush5397]

Oh, and I guess going up the conveyor in the trash freighter after having left the ladder at the Aluminum Mallard also makes the game unwinnable. It almost doesn't count, though, since the dead end is logical and only requires you to go back about five minutes to correct it.

[@Terezar]

@micahbush5397 that is a way, certainly, but you have to REALLY try to set that up. Most things referenced as making the game unwinnable are things you can do by accident, even the 18 hour timer. You accidentally leave your game on overnight, you might come back to a game over

[@micahbush5397]

@@Terezar Even leaving your game on overnight seems unlikely to trigger that issue, since you have to spend 18 hours in the _Aluminum Mallard_ specifically, and there really isn't much to do there besides going between different locations.

[@MaverickHunterXZA]

As always, thank you very much for your hard work! The original LP was heavily mauled by KZbin codec shenanigans. I'm so glad we have it back and better than ever!

[@KayJay940]

Thats not a satellite made of swiss chees. Its a tinker toy. 😂

[@Dilandau3000]

I never had those growing up, so that's why I didn't recognize it. :)

I love this version of the Space Quest theme!

[@G0thCrayon]

I'm actually quite grateful for these one-cut fullplays, they have a different feel to them. Also: do you have an aversion to the Quest for Glory series? I'm kind of shocked that you haven't posted anything from the series -although, I've never heard you mention owning any of the entries.

[@Dilandau3000]

@@G0thCrayon I've never played any of the QfG games, unfortunately.

[@taxman3749]

Im so jealous of your MT-32.

[@WarthogDemon]

Don’t remember if this was addressed back in the original videos but the “Swiss cheese satellite” is also a giant sized version of toys. I forget what they’re called but it’s bunch of circular blocks that you put colored sticks in to construct stuff. I remember playing with them as a kid but I don’t think k I ever did much with them. :P

[@Dilandau3000]

Yeah, tinker toys. I never had those so I didn't recognize it.

[@WarthogDemon]

@@Dilandau3000 In all fairness, I will be extremely disappointment with humanity if there hasn't been a kid who has used his/her tinker toys to create a Swiss Cheese Satellite.

[@AmaltheaGaming]

Based on the current state of the kickstarter game they have failing the oblivion would a welcome place for the 2 guys at this point

[@Dilandau3000]

Yeah, unfortunately SpaceVenture hasn't gone the way anyone would've wanted.

[@stgibbs86]

@@Dilandau3000 It looks like the game is still in progress and they are still fixing bugs, so Im still hopeful.

[@Terezar]

The development was fraught with problems, not the least of which was Scott's health and his family. Also designing their own engine was a mistake

[@generrosity]

Comment for the algorythmic gods! Sympathy for reliving arcade games, and i always thought the 'space station/child toy' looked like a Spathi ship from starcon2, tho tho knows

[@micahbush5397]

Apparently, you need to either get ten landings _in one game_ or play ten games of _Astro Chicken_ in order to get the message.

[@Terezar]

I kinda figured the 7 buckazoids in the seat was a clue as to which meal to buy at monolith burger

[@Mythraen]

I'm not saying you're wrong, but that isn't good game design. There's no in-universe explanation for that money to hint to what meal to get.

[@Terezar]

@Mythraen This was the 80s. There was no concept of game design yet. There were no courses, no books, no training, the concept of video game design as its own thing didn't exist

[@Terezar]

@Mythraen that being said, the only meal that costs exactly 7 buckazoids is the fun meal. For a Sierra game that's basically a neon sign

[@Mythraen]

@@Terezar My only point is that there is no in-universe explanation for the hint. You stating how good of a hint it is doesn't change my point. Also, this isn't exclusive to games. This is a plot... convenience, a problem with narratives. I believe narratives predate the 80s by _at least_ a couple years. Internal logic isn't exactly some ground-breaking idea invented in the 90s.

[@Mirality]

The astro chicken game is a clone of a classic game called Lunar Lander (or slight variations thereof on different platforms). It's from the "steal all your quarters while pretending it's a skill issue" era of arcade cabinets in particular.

[@Dilandau3000]

I've played similar games, but usually they're much easier to control than Astro Chicken!

[@daracaex]

Hey Sven! Did you hear about the fan-made King's Quest IX that just released? It's called "It Takes Two to Tangle" and stars Cassima and Edgar. I've played a bit so far and it seems like it's done a really good job replicating the art style of KQVII.

[@Batman36087]

🤔There's a lot of people that let's play of Space Quest like Space Quest Historian and other Space Quest let's players but D,3000 i think you're the Space Quest G.O.A.T

[@AzurGamer81]

You should do the Hero Quest series.

[@stgibbs86]

He did, like 10 years ago, check out his channel.... Wait....oohhhh you dont mean King's Quest, you mean QFG, Quest for Glory 1 2 3 4 and 5. Oh ya those are AWESOME games and fit in well with the King's Quest universe too. You are right, he shld DEF do a lets play of those games too, also by sierra.

[@Mythraen]

I don't believe he will do Quest for Glory, as it's not a pure adventure game. The RPG components are a turn-off for him, I believe. And, yeah, they're not called "Hero Quest." The very earliest version of the first game was called Hero's Quest, but they had to change the name because of HeroQuest.

[@taxman3749]

A little clarification for you. 'Polycheeze' is a riff on American Processed Cheese. the Kraft singles -- you know? Popular on cheap cheeseburgers. There was a lot of rumors at the time that the cheese wasn't even real cheese, but a sort of emulsified vegetable oil or something -- or even plastic. Hence Polycheeze, or Polymer Cheese. Get it?

[@stgibbs86]

Ya I have to watch out for these CHEESE PRODUCT which isnt real cheese.

[@Mythraen]

@@stgibbs86 Factually incorrect. American processed cheese is made from two primary ingredients: real cheese (cheddar or colby) and water.

[@nicholasimholte7359]

This one just seems like a collection of unrelated mini puzzles. After freeing yourself there's no real drive to do anything.

[@Dilandau3000]

The Space Quest games are pretty bad at giving you clear goals, and this one particularly so.
