I'm back.
More videos this month, hopefully with less deaths.
Welcome back
@@owengrant9066 I wish we could get more games like Day of the Tentacle which had really excellent puzzles, but plenty of point and click games coming out nowadays are better than space quest 1. Don't see what's wrong with complaining about a bad parser, a crap arcade sequence, required save scumming, a "puzzle" that requires you to stand in a specific spot and look at the ship in order to know that a required item exists, etc. I guess you could consider it part of the fun to hunt for required items and figure out what arcane commands are needed and stuff like that. There is something charmingly antagonistic about the game design, but it doesn't seem like a more thoughtful or intelligent game. It just hates you.
Would love to see your take on the Quest For Glory series next. QFG1 is my childhood and has a "modernized" version (no text entries) if you want to take a break from trying to find the correct words in a lexicon. (Although by the time QFG started, the lexicon was so improved that speedrunners are breaking the game by typing only a few letters per prompt in the original text based version)
@@Volvary Quest for Glory is definitely on the cards with how much it's been requested, though I'd like to keep these Sierra games in a somewhat chronological manner, so I need to escape the AGI period first...
@@PowerPakGames Godspeed with that! Somedays you'll make it to the EGA era
This man has suffered for our entertainment like a roman gladiator
"Are you not entertained?!" Oh, we are, Jack. Very much so.
At least gladiator were treated like rockstars, this game just treat him like crap
@@strikeforce1500 And unlike poor Roger, gladiators didn't get killed - contrary to popular belief.
8:59 "maybe next I'll remind Roger how to breathe" Space Quest 2 Foreshadowing 😬
I already knew immediately the beam puzzle would get to you. Both Guys from Andromeda acknowledge it as one of the most frustrating puzzles in the game, because the solution isn't communicated to you in any way.
I'm so glad this series isn't dead, unlike poor Roger over there
I'm crying foul, that coin has two fantasy series on it
It’s Sci-Fi fantasy 🤓
@@witchboy44uhm, its akusally science-fantasy 🤓👆
@@alexfvghn sci fi is fantasy
And just when we needed him (read: my ADHD needed another hour long gaming retrospective), he returned. Perfect timing.
Extremely stooked!
Heyyyy shut up shut up stop yelling at me
The adhd needing another gaming retrospective hits too hard, i just almost finished dungeon chill's yesterday. I use them as bg noise for crocheting haha
You don’t have to tell us about your disabilities
@@garrettcarrett8634 And you didn't have to subject everyone to this useless comment, but here you are.
I have to appreciate how you gradually started thinking the way the game wanted you to, and began catching more traps and hidden interactions before they could screw you over.
It's one of those skills no one should ever have to learn.
All deaths should be Orat basketballing you. The sound and the look at the camera are just perfect
26:58 - "Ulence Flats", eh? Is that in the Encyclopedia under "Flats, Ulence?"
surprised he didn't pick up on that joke lol
@@neonhalos We all have a brain fart now and again.
IT'S COLD OUTSIDE, THERE'S NO KIND OF ATMOSPHERE, WE'RE ALL ALONE, MORE OR LESS, LET ME FLY, FAR AWAY FROM HERE, FUN FUN FUN, IN THE SUN SUN SUN
Yeass
The remake of the game that Sierra put out about 5 years later using their more advanced SCI game engine took the opportunity to give the player ways to bypass or at least better understand the more obscure puzzles of the original. The crashed spaceship actually has the survival kit and pieces of broken glass in the sand outside, with the glasa helpfully glittering in the sun to make it super obvious. It's made easier to force the spider droid to encounter Orat (the original game requires a very specific set of events to happen to make sure Orat is triggered inside the cave at the same time the spider is chasing you; the remake just spawns Orat in the cave all the time). The arcade Skimmer sequence can be skipped, as can the fruit machine in the Bar (through use of a magnet you can find back at the start of the game). While these quality of life changes don't really change the overall game, they do make some of it's more 'ambiguous' puzzles easier to figure out. It's still possible to go into the caverns without picking up the glass shard in this remake, but if you don't try to pick up the now super obvious glass pieces that literally sparkle for you, then it's more the player's own fault than in the original. 🤣
The dread I felt when that bridge cracked...
Those animations were great. Thanks for showing more of these games, this has been super fun to watch!
Don't stop uploading Pak, I love your content. From your hits like Iron Lung, the Doom mod and Signalis, to your game demo recommendations. I discovered some real gems because of those. Keep it up!
It seems like these don't get the views they deserve, but I'm really glad you make them. No other TH-camr does trepidation, bewilderment, and frustration as well as you do, and these games are perfect for that haha, keep it up! I never played these but always wanted to, so it's nice watching you play, especially when you don't know what you're doing. It feels like getting the full experience that way.
You killed all the "evil" Sariens; the good ones are all back home.
I was summoned by the Red Dwarf theme tune.
YAY SOMETHING I CAN WATCH OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER!
Thank you :D
Took the thoughts right outta my head ♥
I’m happy this is here I have been rewatching the King’s Quest videos
When you use the Cruelty Squad theme around 20 minutes it fits so perfectly lmao incredible work
Showing Dandy from "Space Dandy" when you pointed out that its a different game, but IN SPACE made me chuckle
I know these aren't the most popular vids. But they make my brain happy so thank you
Hell yeah, love those videos on early point and click games!
Point and click but your character is the pointer.
Been one of my favorite watches since the DOOM My House video
Oh, magnificent, a new powerpak video! Time to watch this one seventeen times.
I very rarely watch 20 minutes of somebody's video and click subscribe. Well deserved, great content. And great ear for music, seems like some of the best games of the times are really spreading in influence.
If you go back to King's Quest, 3 is both my favorite and also the most brutal and tricky.
Can't wait for pyrochinical to make this a 10 hour video
NEW LONG VIDEO FROM POWERPAK YESSSS
Really? Ulence Flats?
God, they really couldn't help themselves on that one, huh?
0:30 Space dandy reference, chad move
Space Dandy was so dope.
These are so wonderful, for anyone who has childhood memories of messing around in these games. Your humor and attention to detail are wonderful, too.
Hell yeah, another PowerPak video about a game that came out before I was born.
Man if you play all of these, I will be so psyched
I had an interesting Space Quest walkthrough as a kid, it covered the first 3 games and was written as a play-by-play telling of the game by Roger Wilco. I dont know if it was an official guide or not, but I must have read that thing a hundred times back then. I remember having a very similar guide for Quest for Glory games, where the walkthrough was written as a sort of novel detailing the main character's travels through the games.
Holy Shit I'm so happy, found this channel through the King's Quest videos a month and enjoyed every video since
BABE WAKE UP. POWER PAK PLAYED ANOTHER SIERRA GAME
Just finished the Signalis video when this uploaded. Excited to watch another great vid!
That red dwarf theme immedately after introducing silly sci fi is wonderful
This video, and the King's Quest ones, has to be one of the most entertainingly infuriating one I've ever watched. I genuinely swore out loud in public in exasperation after the jetpack part. Holy f*ing hell, WHY would ANYONE design a game like this?!?! Thank God I'm not playing it, and thank YOU for playing it, PowerPak. Have been really enjoying your content recently :)
describing king's quest as serious is fucking bizarre
So glad to see this, was jusy rewatching the House video, and then saw the kingquests, and thought to myself "I never could finish the first space quest". And now we're here.
"maybe next I'll remind Roger how to breathe."
don't make jokes!
The sheer temporal dissonance in discussing Space Quest and making a comparison to Helldivers is something to behold.
Yeah just watching the video, I couldn't help but feel like this was a real game. The first two King's Quest games were more like vague attempts at being a game, but they hadnt quite figured it out yet. You'd get plopped down in the middle of an entirely open area with no indication of what even is a puzzle. This one has what are almost like contained worlds with clear progression.
Wasn't there an ancient Space Quest spiritual successor Kickstarter by some of the old team or something? Whatever happened with that?
God I'd kill for another of these. That kings Quest reboot was really fun
Well space quest did end up being a series.
"Spaceventure," from the original two creators. It's been in development for over a decade at this point. A couple years ago, KS backers got a "finished" version which was incredibly buggy. Supposedly they're still working on it, and supposedly it'll eventually get a full release in online stores, but there's no telling when/if they'll ever actually finish it.
I can’t wait until you hit Police Quest.
Are you serious right now? My favorite game series talked about by one of my favorite TH-camrs? SOLD!
youre like my favroite youtuber, I found you for life is strange abridged but im staying for the video game content that i love so much. I love your humor and your way of showing the games is so entertaining and easy to understand. keep it up my man!
I still laugh sometimes thinking about the dwarf appearing and stealing your treasure chest in the Kings Quest video. I was delighted to see a space quest video pop up the other day! I think I only played one of the later space quests… but that was also around the time I began to give up on the sierra game torture and leaned into Lucas Arts
This was absolutely lovely to watch.
THANK YOU!!!! I absolutely love your Kings's Quest videos, I was waiting for this one! 😀
I've been waiting so long for your next video. I adore your video style.
Highlight of the day: a new video from power pak
Yess finally I’ve been so excited for this video
Another 10/10. Keeping killing it Pak
I remember playing this on my cousins’ Tandy. Jeebus, the amount of guesswork going into vocabulary was amazing. Eventually discovering the word that trumps all words: look.
This series only got better with each entry. I remember being a kid playing one of the games, and it came with an hilarious fake space tabloid, and it had certain information you'd need in the game.
12:12 I'm muttering "oh dear" and transported back about 35 years. Sad fact: I think I solved this puzzle over a year after I encountered it, at which point I reached the second disc and realised I'd misread the instructions and had formatted it as a save disc. This likely won't make sense to most of you, as you are probably born after the 70s.
Ulence Flats lol, I loved this series.
Love these so much man
I can't say what my job is but I have a very important job and an EXTREMELY boring task came up and this saved me and made me do it. You're a literal hero. Thank you.
Bravo! Much love I'll watch your channel forever ❤
Great series of videos, incredibly intertaining!
i love these old school pc game reviews/playthroughs the most. i really hope you keep going with the kings quest and sierra games. great, great, GREAT job man. keep up the awesome work
I've been so excited for this, I checked your channel yesterday to make sure I was still subscribed.
I'm not even playing this game and I screamed at the jetpack screwover
ME LITERALLY SO EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEO THANK GOD
Letsgoooooo, new video!!!
Hooray! Love to see OCRemix get some note! Your videos always have excellent music direction and if any of it is original, my super space-compliments!
This was fun to watch! I feel for your sanity
FINALLY, I've waited anxiously.
PowerPak : while I sadly don't have the finances to support you, please know you have at least one huge fan none the less
I'm gonna rewatch every vid on the channel fr txtxtx for uploading for real they are all so good
Great vid!
The funny thing about the slot machine is it’s pointing straight towards the stage. So if someone dodges before they get killed, the person on stage could die.
32:27 Dig that sweet what!?
It's a Star Wars reference. The music in the Mos Eisle cantina is canonically called "Jizz".
Those deaths were a big part of the charm. We wanted to see how many ways can wilco die. I loved these sierra and lucas art adventure games!
Count me in as looking forward to King's Quest III. On one hand, the game makes a lot of steps forward for the series. It has a lot more story, its more focused, it doesn't just dump you in a field and ask you to solve random puzzles. Its the first game in the series that really feels like the King's Quest that comes later. On the other hand, boy does this game make some choices. Some absolutely wild choices.
Can't wait for King's Quest III! And rather glad now that I never got to Space Quest, only King's Quest and QFG.
I hope you give the rest of the SQ series a chance! My ranking of best to worst is as follows: 3, 5, 4, 1, 2, 6. Otherwise stated, the best is yet to come! And also the worst. In fact, if you want to retain fond memories of the series, just skip SQ6. Pretend it doesn’t even exist. Say to yourself, "Wow, that was a great series! I wish there was a 6th episode!" Then leave it at that.
I love Kingdom Hearts. When your video on it comes out (if it ever does), I have a shiny thumbs up and a comment waiting for you.
I love Nine Souls. Found and watched it from your review as well. I didn't know they announced a release date. Been busy.
Oh boy. Between KQ3 and SQ2, I'm not sure which will have you raging harder. Looking forward to it! 😈😈
Oh, and funny thing. Yes, that was ZZ Top in the bar, and Sierra got sued over it. The SQ series actually became a bit infamous for being a lawsuit magnet, forcing multiple revised versions over the years.
This is the good stuff. moreeee
i was just looking at your channel hoping you would upload something, what a timing :)
Oh boy, KQ3 is gonna be a wild ride.
The funniest thing is in Space Quest 4, which is a VGA graphics game (256 colors), you go back in time to Space Quest 1 - but when you go back the graphics suddenly switch to EGA (16 colors). Only your character remains a 256 color sprite. Then in the Cantina at Ulence Flats, there's an alien gang called the "Monochrome Boys" who make fun of you for being in fancy 256-color VGA graphics.
Lets gooooooo
Ah space quest. Such an amazing series. Space quest 4 was one of my absolute favourites as a kid. I just watched the space quest historian do a playthrough not that long ago.
this video did not show up in my sub feed even tho im subbed to you. in fact, when i clicked on your channel it didnt even show that anything was uploaded after the Signalis one. the magic of the rec columns decided to bless me i guess
My personal favorite of the series and my all time favorite adventure game of all time: Space Quest 4 - Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers. The CD/Talkie version with Gary Owens as the narrator is a blast. I can highly recommend it if you've never played it. I does have some quircks and tricky parts but it's well worth it. Hope you will play it and post a video of it just like this one 😉
oh my gosh i was JUST checking your channel yesterday for new videos and you just made one on the successor to kings quest? oh this is gonna be good
Big fan of your vids! Loved where you put in the Metal Gear 1 music too
He just doesn't miss, lads.
20 seconds in and I think I've found my new favorite channel, get in my subs you hear? Get in there lad.
Nice video!
I had the Apple IIGS versions of all of these games. They were great, especially the music.
I'd love to see you play more of the series. Space Quest gets a LOT better with future installments. :)
11:25 what the hell, that cutscene looks great for 1986!
