SPACE QUEST IV (VGA Version) Adventure Game Gameplay Walkthrough - No Commentary Playthrough

[@swempytimes]

Anytime I watch one of these playthroughs and it says thank you for playing the game. I like to say thank you to the KZbinr who played it. So thank you!

[@BDistoshortforahandle]

"Thank You for playing Space Quest 4! As usual, you've been a real pant-load."

[@leogothisoscar271]

I tried playing this when I was kid, but the screaming guy in the blue shirt always scared me, I had NO idea what I was doing, and I didn't really understand that it was supposed to be funny. Good times.

[@konami1979]

I recall that the graphics and sound were awesome for their time, but the game was tough as hell. It took me forever to get past the first stage.

[@gotham23us]

The only problem with these playthtiughs is they don't show all the ways you can die, which are hilarious.

[@dhauz___7855]

That, and the narrator's occasional sarcastic remarks at how stupid you died.

[@ace942]

I remember beating this game back in the day but I played the version that was not the talkie version so it is nice to see what it would have been liked to play the talkie version.

[@tyoung9012]

Yes. Our family IBM PS2 couldn't even play the game. Probably not enough memory. I had to load it onto my mom's PC at her work to play it. That PC sadly didn't have a sound card or speakers so it was interesting to hear it now for the first time.

[@hotfightinghistory9224]

I never realized how many current voiceover actors also did work on these games! Im hearing people that also did work in Half Life and even Deathloop, more recently. What a trip!

[@RurouniKalainGaming]

Really? No shot, awesome.

[@musizlover2008]

you know.. I had this game when it came for free on my first computer and I was never able to get past the first stage. what can I say? I was 9 and I never had an instruction manual to this game. I kept getting killed by that patrolling robot and that screaming guy.

[@xv750nz]

musizlover2008 You may have been caught out as some things are bases on clock speed, so as computers got faster some things like patrolling robot become impossible to beat. I had to install an app to run slow clock for these games after buying the Space Quest collection some years ago.

[@TrevJericho]

Dude I went through the exact same shit

[@KatStillwell]

Glad to know I wasn't the only one :)

[@gregkiteos1936]

Me too! 1994 and all that

[@ClaesNorin]

@@gregkiteos1936 haha - same here! I remember getting my SB16 card to work for the first time with this game. Was totally blown away!

[@StaffyDoo]

As it couldn't be another way, this delivery of the Space Quest saga is full of funny jokes. However, seeing Roger walk on high heels - like if he was walking onto eggshells - was a blast!

[@redplanet76]

Ahhh the memories. I thought these designers were hilarious. And the ways to die were always fun. Remember to save your game!

[@kbanghart]

Omg yes!

[@austintheamerican3784]

“Son wouldn’t it have been easier to travel back to the creation of the computer and just stop it from existing?” “You ask a lot of questions for a janitor.”

[@AkumaMotos]

I have played this game on a 486 DX-4 100mhz when I lived in Brazil about 1997... Gold years, my first computer what my mother bought.

[@trumjohannsmancave]

Wow... great memories!! My sister had it on Mac and we played the hell out of it :D Great!

[@LettersAndNumbers300]

Anyone else have fond memories of a save file at the point the babe in the blue bathingsuit shows up?

[@webweasel4401]

Yup

[@12inchcharge38]

Also yes

[@HannibalOrJustRex]

17:01 My older brothers and I had this game when I was 7. My mom walked in at this part, and was so horrified by such "pornography" that she made us uninstall the game from the computer.

[@andreas.charalambides]

What beautiful memories :) thx for sharing

[@Andersinn]

Used to play the games when I was much younger. Im very surpriesed by the story now.

[@Stonercrab]

Love it so much my son plays sooo long

[@Ambaryerno]

The great Gary Owens!

[@Tenraiden]

Still remember that music, came here after it suddenly popped into my head today 🥰

[@bryanyurcan4363]

probably the best space quest

[@novostranger]

I remember the times that PC games looked more a movie

[@jljkorr1616]

Another fun and great computer game! So much fun and adventurous

[@sacrament182]

When you’re working at the burger place you have to talk to the ingredients, funny stuff.

[@CrimsonHelldrake]

How the hell could you not play Mizz Astro Chicken!?

[@TheBigMan0706]

LyesergicBrainwave I think you would get killed by the Sequel Police if you played the game for too long

[@ibainesy]

@@TheBigMan0706 iirc, if you played it for too long then the game would blow up.

[@amigaangel]

so they are gonna be having issues if they ever make a real space quest 10 or 12 or ? unless it is to be considered alternate reality sq versions

[@Akira625]

I had this game, but it was the original floppy version which lacked the voices. After installing Windows 95, the installation disks were somehow rendered completely unreadable, so I was never able to finish the game.

[@crankycarrot0265]

I can't believe it can finished in an hour. I guess the average playthrough is at least 10x that when you don't know the answers ahead of time.

[@lopezzepol5095]

juegazo de infancia!!

[@Jon4270]

45:26 - 46:02 an uncomfortably accurate description of SmartPhones, and their need for an internet connection to work as designed.

[@prolfinator]

i find this hilarious. i love looking back in the past

[@Comical_LLama]

as a kid , i was stuck at that shopping mall for more than a year, and gave up. after 20 years i know what had to be done, STUPID!!! Give some clues!!!

[@FeiLeFevre]

Me too!!!

[@meatbone7126]

me my brother dad and mom these were our game nights growing up...

[@heintjebier]

i feel such a nerd watching this and yet so enriched i've know the real classics... roger would be proud

[@ΝίκοςΒεζδρεβάνης]

_"Shut up! Your whimpering sickens me."_ That's rude, Zondra!

[@Dumbcrane]

His name is "Yes Yes" if you think about it. Because in military terminology "Roger" means Yes, and "Wilco" stands for Will Comply (Yes). So his name means YES YES, lol!!!

[@bitwize]

Roger means "message received".

[@KopperNeoman]

@bitwize And no matter what Sierra game it is, Ego does a lot of receiving player messages and complying.

[@NaptownClassic]

Interesting. The monochrome bikers bike's are colored in the EGA version, but monochrome in the VGA.

[@AllGamingStarred]

THIS IS THE ONE FROM MY CHILDHOOD! I FINALLY FOUND IT!

[@BollingHolt]

That narrator is just awesome LOL.

[@slickdog78]

Yup, Gary Owens made this game so much better. He was also the narrator for SQ6 and LSL6 if memory serves.

[@lavesf34r]

Remember getting the original release in a whole 16 colors and on several 3.5" floppies for Christmas. Great game then and even better in 256 with Gary Owens!

[@notsyzagts7967]

If Zondra wasn't upset with Roger after the slug creature, she definitely will be when she discovers her bank account is empty! Assuming these ATMs keep a visual record, that is.

[@Wendy_O._Koopa]

It wasn't him, it was the lady in the black dress!

[@user-ql7pj2jh7t]

Thanks, lovely video

[@Miracle89Studio]

Good old days..

[@Vizzle94606]

19:20 he wanted to let that B word utter out so bad!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!

[@Aurora2097]

These games were so beautiful to look at! They still are...

[@SeanVito]

Pixel art meets hand drawn. It's timeless in my eyes. So hard to get working right on modern computers though :(

[@twt3716]

Glorious

[@madisonpage5483]

Thank you for not talking!

[@Ninjamohawk]

Hey keep your hands off yourself! This is a family game

[@mario_survivor]

39:20 I was never able to get past this Stage because I always thought I had to find a way to knock the Guys off their Bikes and go through the Force Field

[@inIsraeli]

great job sure wish we had more of SQ games

[@93_til]

Anyone else stress tf out during some of those burgers being made? 😅

[@metroidfannumber1234]

i havent seen this game in ages!

[@CantastorieStonato]

Someone knows where to find this playtrough but with subtitles?

[@JDJG3493]

Alessandro Deidda the orginal or you could have it with both.

[@agentindy]

It's getting better and better

[@NaptownClassic]

Always bothered me a bit how the narrator says "The powerful quad... quark, drives rev to life". They aren't driving rev... the quad-quark drives are revving to life.

[@LettersAndNumbers300]

Same!!

[@skelkankaos]

i didn't know there was a version with voice acting

[@nohrden55]

They should remake the series for the console

[@TheInkPitOx]

No

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

dude, this is cool

[@homerthompson8730]

Too bad they the Two Guys broke up after this. Really could have continued a great story...

[@commanderjnm2008]

I know right... This is how I rate the SQ games (from most to least favourite): 1. SQ 5. 2. SQ 4. 3. SQ 3. 4. SQ 1. 5. SQ 2. 6. SQ 6. I hated the 6th one (hence- last on my list).

[@TheInkPitOx]

This is not their final game. They had two after this.

[@homerthompson8730]

@@TheInkPitOx - But the story really went down a different path and barely mentions SQ4 plot . 5 does okay with Beatrice being introduced, but SQ6 it's barely mentioned.

[@TheInkPitOx]

@@homerthompson8730 One thing about SQ6 (which is not mentioned in the 5th game), is that there are several references to a 7th game which never came to fruition.

[@mario_survivor]

44:60 IF THIS WAS KINGS QUEST 5, They would had allowed you to have enough Money to buy any Item, so you can still end up "Stuck" somewhere down the line

[@Tkazee1226]

That EpiRip 357 looks like it would be hell on earth to shave with. I guess that's the point.

[@bitwize]

It's a parody of an epilator, a device used primarily by women in the late 1980s that ripped body hair out by the roots rather than shaving it off, much like a professional waxing. They were indeed painful to use, especially on the first go.

[@woofaki5550]

The code is changing?I tried the same code for the spaceship and it doesnt work..

[@commanderjnm2008]

well it gets a little complicated. The code to get back to SQXII Xenon, you need to jot down the code that appears the moment you enter the time machine the first time. This is important, before you press any button, you must jot down the existing code that the sequel police arrived with to SQXII at the beginning of the game. You need this to get back to this time-sector later. As for the code to get to Estros, I think you can input any random code for that and it will work. To get to SQ1 The Sarien encounter sector, you need the hint from the piece of gum from SQ10 in the bird's nest to get the first 3 digits AND use a manual that you bought from the software excess store to figure out the 3 other digits. Other codes are here: spacequest.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_known_time_codes

[@commanderjnm2008]

PART 2- To go back to the arcade galleria in SQ10, you need to jot down the code that the sequel police arrived with to the arcade before you input any other code. I hope that clarifies it?

[@Zellig]

Epic game you are a champion!

[@abcdef2069]

at 14:34, this play is some kind of MOD that i want, the devil tower coordinate is not shown, so at 40:05 how did you get the devil tower coordinate?

[@FedoraMark]

14:39 poor read here, “drives” should be a noun not a verb. Gary Owen’s only imperfection (though I blame whoever directed him)

[@LettersAndNumbers300]

14:12 Labian sector? Seriously Sierra?

[@captainquyet7313]

This game is very hard. My best is 36. Space cop on hudgames

[@TheInkPitOx]

This game is not that hard at all, really.

[@nihonam]

Why does the code for jump from SQ1 back to SQ XII shown at 40:00 not working for me?? And where it was intended to find?

[@BlackStarEOP]

The code is randomized when you start a game, it should be written down when you enter the timepod first in SQ12.

[@jordanpeterson5038]

21:09 first you wanna kill me then you wanna kiss me. Bruce Campbell

[@mochimochi2749]

The narrator sounds like Art Bell.

[@user-co4xl7wx3q]

Is this the same narrator that was on the earlier Strange Mysteries KZbin channel?

[@vshazam]

It's Gary Owens, so probably more appropriate to say Art Bell sounds like the Narrator

[@manalad8928]

Remember I had this game, Leisure Suite Larry and some other unplayable garbage on my old DOS pc in the early 90s. Inspired me to make my own game, since had had graphics and programming knowledge. This really gory cave adventure game where the main character fell into spikes if he made a wrong move with random sex scenes thrown in. Never released it of course. Maybe I should have.

[@AshtonCoolman]

I'm looking for this VGA version with real speech and am having a helluva time.

[@umageddon]

+JohnnyNismo Its pretty steep requirements... you need at least a 486DX, a 2x CD-ROM and a soundblaster sound card thou

[@commanderjnm2008]

"Gog dot com" has the Gary Owens version.

[@linushyper300]

It takes just one hour to beat this OH SO LEGENDARY game? Wow...

[@danielsomerville6965]

Sure, if you know exactly what to do and where to go, and you're not stopping to look at, stroke, talk to and taste every object on every screen. :) (The narrator's responses to things like trying to drink battery acid out of the gutter and lick womens' arms are the best part!) I think it took me about two months to beat this game back when I was 11 years old. The legendary game Myst also takes about 2 minutes to beat if you know exactly where to go, you know. ;)

[@malmstring]

I remember this being a letdown after playing Space Quest III. We liked these graphics but not the gameplay. I find this game boring to this day.

[@Tenraiden]

malmstring I think 4 was the best of the series. Maybe I played it first.

[@JasperFx]

Looking back at this, the scenes with those Latex Babes are quite cringey.
