      "Look ocean" at the Brown Mountain, which is one of Jess', is one of my absolute favourites. I remember testing the game during development - without checking the parser responses in advance - and I happened to type in that completely innocuous command. I was chuckling for at least the remainder of the day.

    I was thinking if someone made a troll game called Collectors Anxiety that is about everything that could go wrong with collectibles. A collectible that is obtained in a very obscure way, a collectible hiding right before a gate that you didn't know was one-way, collectibles in autoscrollers, a puzzle that actually makes the collectible unreachable when solved, a collectible that is seemingly very hard to get but actually impossible until you beat the game, and more.

    • @vinzo0913

      @spacequesthistorian 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      We had a shared spreadsheet for parser commands which everyone on the team could edit. Through some sort of black magic, our programmer Patrick would export that spreadsheet and dump it into the game. But since it was a shared spreadsheet, everyone could just type in whatever they felt like, and Patrick would just dump everything into the game, no questions asked. The only rule we had was that we shouldn't edit or remove other people's contributions. So there is a TON of stuff in that parser that I didn't know was in there until OSE had me look through the spreadsheet for this video.

    I have a distinct memory of playing a game on a library computer in the 1990s and being disturbed when my character fell to his death. Watching this video brought it right back!

    I actually recently watched an old video on Space Quest Historian's channel about three games he helped make, and that included this one! So when I saw that and then this, I was like, "Is that what he was talking about?" Sure enough! Amazing that it's so well known by this point. =D

    I was just watching like half attention, like with most videos, and then you started talking about the rickroll, and it cracked me up. That is such a good inclusion, I love that.

    They should make a Space Quest spoof called "Death Quest" where you just die in hilarious ways every other step.

    After having watched this video finally (Since for some reason TH-cam thought I had already watched it?), I played through Stair Quest. Having never played a Sierra game aside from the smallest amount of KQ1, I beat it in a few hours. Granted, I used some slowdown and safety saves, as well as saving after. Every level, but I made it to the top and back not “easily”, but before it stopped being fun. The cat level was surprisingly easy, all you need to do is find the most lenient path first.

    In the subtitles, it should be "pore over the manuals" not "pour over the manuals". Since it seems like the point of this whole enterprise is to be pedantic and old school. :)

    It took me a few moments to realise that it was indeed KQ3 at 1:02 as those stairs I associate more with KQ1, but then realised that's the bit right at the end with Alexander where they reused the same scene art!

    This game is HILARIOUS, lmao. I remember playing KQ1. Those fucking stairs man.
    It was replaced by the labyrinths in later installments; (almost) just as infamous. Roberta is a sadist.
