SPACE QUEST V Adventure Game Gameplay Walkthrough - No Commentary Playthrough

[@bradhoover1644]

Man I loved this game. Sierra back in the 90's had the best adventure games. Police Quest, Space Quest and leisure suit larry

[@prudenicasecuritysweden5025]

I did too, shit.. i miss Sierra... and Lucasarts old titles.

[@AchtungBaby77]

Unbelievable that this game could be completed in 90 minutes! Took me months to finish, but then again I was in primary school at the time 😂

[@generalzod8400]

Played this as a teen in the 90's. The humor was great. Just realized he put 90210 in the coordinates. haha Didn't catch the little things back then.

[@lordhumongous4272]

now you're in your 40's, lol.

[@NorCalDubber]

Man this game makes me miss the 90s, such amazing games.

[@SuspendedLogic]

I fell in love with this game as a kid. Honestly I'm getting choked up hearing the music again.

1:28:00 YES! Spike will LIVE! What a happy ending!

[@mochimochi2749]

Best Space Quest game by far.

I know the Angry Video Game Nerd makes fun of old PC games and their piracy anti-copy measures of key codes, but in Space Quest V, it is done very well. I.E. part of the game contents in the box includes a detailed picture map (I think it was a small poster of size) of all the planets you are supposed to go to with their corresponding coordinates to punch in. If someone obviously copied from a friend, they would also have to get a COLOR copy of the map, as I do not think a plain black and white copier at a library can copy well of those codes, maybe in a almost readable black and white print. Or ask for them. But even back then, neither the person with the game nor friend would know unless it comes down to actually playing the game! This is WAY better than referencing the fourth letter of the sixth word in paragraph 2 of page 57 of the manual. Or to make out what color paint splotch is of the picture in the game manual (Looking at you with a disdain Future Wars!)

[@GrzegorzDurda]

I had the original and the codes were quirky. Even with the map sometimes they would not work. It was annoying.

[@ajax700]

@Renigami Yes, terribly impossible to bypass copy protection... these guys were genius! COUGH! COUGH! Thrakus #53284 K U #20011 Lukaszuk II #91001 Gingivitis #81100 Monostadt VII #54671 Klarox #90210 Gangularis #71552 Commodore LXIV #01015 Spacebar #69869 Peeyu #92767 Spittoonie #44091

[@TheMedievalNerd]

LOL! Tried to do the game from memory. Completely forgot about making the frogs in the pond jump on the communicator. If you don't do that when you try to land on Cliff he just swats you dead. lol

[@jam2007]

It'll be cool if games like this get preserved and saved so they don't be lost.

[@AchtungBaby77]

They do, check out Abandonware Games 👍

[@Clawf1ng3r]

that's how you do merchandise. i played this when i was 13 or so, and i still smile everytime i see a sprint logo here and there (seldom here in germany)

[@TrapperAaron]

Sq was one of the first computer games to use physical 3D models for the backgrounds of some of the scenes. Especially the ship I remember. I think on one of the discs or maybe in a computer mag at the time had a whole breakdown of the "new tech" they incorporated into the game design. I miss Sierra, and those 2 guys from andromeda.

[@AchtungBaby77]

The game came with a magazine in the box called The Galactic Enquirer which explained the 3D technology used.

[@sergeantgunny]

Loved whenever he sat in the chair and it made the whoopee cushion noise at 13:46

[@MonkeyIslandBlues]

With this game I think I've spent many of my happiest hours, it's not a year but it does not even play for a few minutes...along with king's quest 5 is my favorite Sierra game...I do not understand why it is so little considered among the great graphic adventures...

[@Keitto191]

[@Batalia122]

Sierra theme still never gets old

[@slckb0y65]

my first point and click and among my very first pc games, i still have found memories of it ever since ;)

[@rabbit-gundam8324]

someone needs to make these games into a series on netflix or something

[@gotham23us]

Seth MacFarland should do it

[@bdog7723]

I’d like to see the creator of Limbo and Inside, Arndt Jensen and Playdead studio either do a reboot of Space Quest III or create a whole new one.

[@LarixusSnydes]

Hmm, that might prove very problematic. Sierra already had to fend off lots of companies who did not take kindly to the parodies of their brands, Space Quest IV used to feature "Radio Shock" instead of "Hurtz so good" for the electronic gadget store in that game. Combine that with the many references to well-known movies and series and you have a legal battle on your hands that very few publishers will dare to risk. Besides, it's the player agency that makes an adventure, charming as the stories may be, I don't think this would really work that well.

[@djdoubleu1]

all space quests were good but 5 takes the cake imo, many funny moments

[@mlo3687]

Why are their no voice actors in 5, but there were in 4? Lol, I always wanted to know why that was

[@Roger__Wilco]

I remember reading once that there was going to be a CD version with voice actors but it was cancelled for financial reasons

[@natev6306]

SQ3 is probably my favorite

[@user-no7vv5gi2v]

It had the best feel. It was more fun to be the captain of a ship than a janitor

[@MrMiill]

Played this for hours and hours. Love all the references to the S.F. movies. Obviously Star Trek, but also Star Wars, Spaceballs, 2001: A space oddysey, Alien, Terminator, The Fly, The Blob. And the banana in the tailpipe, of course, Bevery Hills Cop :D

[@EyeSurpri]

I remember purchasing this from Price Club (Costco) on the mini/small floppy disks. Brings back so many good memories!

[@chriswinkler284]

I like how the trash bags read Husky instead of Hefty. Also the 2001: A Space Odyssey theme was a clever touch. Thanks for the upload.

[@TwiigssGames]

Yep. No doubt they were sued over that. Apparently with SQ1, they were sued over a ton of things in the game. Toys R Us complained about Droids R Us, which was changed to Droids B Us, and ZZ Top complaining there was a scene which resembled them. I don't care though, these are some of the best computer games ever made. It's a real, real damn shame we will never have games made like this anymore.

[@senimanmahiwal]

at 90's I finished this game in 3 days without walkthrough at all.. such a memories

[@tonyrush417]

The St Louis science center had this game in the downstairs "space" area of the planetarium and I always wondered years later what the game was! Could never get past the freaking test though!

[@nickbruno1363]

Me and my brother played these games together, took many hours of clicking stuff to figure it out, plus if you looked at the red aliens paper all his answers were wrong. Lol

[@thandermax]

Comedy gold :)

[@Bonzenmann]

This is my favourite SpaceQuest game!

[@CollosalTrollge]

man this was brilliant for the late 90's when i knew it BUT i had a EGA and an XT at the time with no CDROM or STIFFY drive which sucked. I only had a 360k floppy disk drive i hated it. This game was 27 floppy disks for me and then one had a bad sector.

[@sierrakobold6896]

SQ5 was released in early 1993

[@itsnotachip1209]

Thanks for that. I appreciate all the work you put into that. :)

[@LifeWithPico]

SQ6 was such a a huge step back from this one. SQ6 is ugly in comparison. The backgrounds in this are beautiful.

[@milesaway1980]

Agreed. I found SQ6 tedious to play through. I think they were too proud of their new found animation style.

[@redbaron9420]

@@milesaway1980 "I think they were too proud of their new found animation style." And I still don't understand, why. It looked so cheap and simplistic compared to comic-styled VGA Quests.

I loved playing this circa 96

[@dflui]

Ambassador Wankmeister...ROFL> the memories. Loved SQ 1-V1

[@darkowl9]

I always felt the style of this one was a bit weird compared to Sierra's usual style, and then years later I found out that the Dynamix team had created it. Explained the whole style. Still a great game, just a different vibe.

nice games without violence, best childhood =)

[@KopperNeoman]

Just because Roger Wilco isn't as good in a straight fight as Devon Aidendale, doesn't mean there's no violence :)

[@LarixusSnydes]

I thought that Loom by Lucasarts was a game without violence, until I played the ending of that game, which is quite dark and violent. I won't spoil anything if you haven't played it yet. It is imho. an excellent game.

[@ilmarinen79]

I wish they could get this series going again...or a modern revival done by some courageous souls. Dear Santa...

Ambassador Wankmeister.... man this was a fun game.

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

that was enjoyable.

[@GrzegorzDurda]

This one seems to be a mash of Space quest with Star trek and Alien added in.

[@Y2Kr4SHM4N]

I had quite an active imagination as a kid, and watched a lot of horror movies. I found something scary about the pukoids' backstory and the infection spreading at Klorox II. Like a scifi version of a zombie tale like 28 Days Later. It's comedy, but my brain generated horror.

[@SantomPh]

The whole franchise was making fun of scifi.movies

[@slickdog78]

Why this game stepped back from the CD-ROM of SQIV and went back to floppies is beyond me. I think this game could have been so much better being fully voice acted. And of course narrated by, the late great, Gary Owens. Still one of my favorite SQ games though.

[@redbaron9420]

AFAIK, SQ 5 was developed by Dynamix, which had financial troubles at that time and couldn't afford CD releases.

[@otakurocklee]

Captain Quirk = Zapp Brannigan. Roger Wilco = Fry

[@darkanguiel]

Also, Droole = Zoidberg (kinda)

[@nickbruno1363]

I remember if you didn't put anti acid in spikes container he melted a giant hole in the ship later down the line and it was gone over, hopefully you had a good restore saved, and didn't save over it lol

The panel at 29:30 is so damn cryptic to find, literally just blends in with the rest of the wall. So frustrating

[@mooknick242]

I remember playing this game years ago but it didn't last very long..I have no idea where the coordinates come from..are you just supposed to pull those numbers out of thin air.

[@KatouMegumiosu]

brandon242 maybe manual, which is sort of a piracy protection.

[@icemachine79]

Yeah, they were in the manual. But if you "borrowed" the game from a friend, it was easy enough to write down the codes and match them up to the names of the places you were supposed to go as they were revealed to you during the game.

[@ldwithrow08]

Space Quest was lost after about III. After that id was a not very good hypertext comic book.

[@TwiigssGames]

I agree with you there. The First 3 were like the best SQ games. I think mostly because they all used the text parser, and we were so used to that. Same with Police Quest and Kings Quest. With PQ1, I loved how the driving was a top down view of the city, and you directly control the car, and then PQ3 and on the driving was almost impossible to control. I tried playing PQ3, but I can't even get to the first location without going too fast, not able to be fast enough to slow down the car and I end up wrecking everytime. They should have left it like PQ1 with the direct control driving, or like PQ2 with the text parser, "Drive to park" and it just takes you there.
