💬Excerpt from an interview with Jane Jensen refuting the so-called experts of the time who claimed that the main drawback of adventure games is the inability to replay them once finished.
Which is your favorite Space quest game? For me it’s SQ3. Way too short but it was the first adventure game that I finished as a kid. I played Zak McKracken first, but didn’t manage to finish it until later. #retrogaming#adventuregame#sierraonline#spacequest
See if you can spot the cut in the video, by the way. 'Cos I have, like, ten minutes of footage of this spindly little twat fucking around behind that rock. AGI pathfinding really is somethin' else.
I gave a talk at #RetroGameDays (a retro games event in Vejle, Denmark) last month about the history of Space Quest. It was a Danish event — and I'm Danish — so the whole talk was, surprise, in Danish. But there are English subtitles if you need them. 😝
If you for some reason find yourself in Denmark — specifically, the town of Vejle — on Oct. 21st, you can come watch me do a talk about the history of Space Quest and the evolution of adventure games... in my native language. 😝 (The talks will also be livestreamed!)
