Last night as I was going over some fond 32 bit memories with my husband He brought up the topic of Commander Keen and suddenly I recalled playing a space game but, alas! I have no memory of what it was!

All I remembered of it was that the guy on the cover was taking down an alien with a plunger and in the game it was 32 bit graphics with a 3D-ish setting, the energizer bunny going by at times, and the fact that my PC at that time had trouble loading the maps so I kept getting killed by some small laser-wielding robot?

If anyone can help me recall what this game was I would really appreciate it.

Yeah, it was one of the quest games. There was space quest, police quest, king's quest, etc.

Wow! Thanks a lot Tim & MLE after a quick image search that definatly gave me a memory jog! ^_^

Now my next biggest problem... where to find it so I can play it. I'm off to amazon & ebay!

Dosbox and download it! That worked better for me than Steam when I decided to re-purchase Commander Keen. Stealing on the internet always seems to be the pro choice.

there was a space quest collection 1000 years ago, should be easy to find on intarnet for super legitimate purchase or evil illicit theft. i dunno what you meant by 32bit though.

I don't remember what colors were in each, but tbh, it doesn't really matter. The download's still going to be the same.

Also, hi mew :>

Space Quest IV was my favorite in that series, very amusing game. I loved that you got to set a trap to capture the Energizer Bunny, the whole space mall burger building thing, etc.

King Quest as a whole series though I definitely think was more impressive. King's Quest 5 and 6 were definitely my favorites, and the artwork in them is still fantastic to this day.

Monkey Island 1 and 2 will always remain my favorite adventure games though. Great storylines & character, incredible artwork, catchy music, and they were plenty challenging. Most importantly, however, no games have made me laugh out loud or as hard as those two did.

I played a bit of King's Quest (the one in the third image), and spent too much time dead.
Maybe that's why i prefer Monkey Island --- There was only one 'death', and the puzzles followed some logic.

I remember Hugo 3 was a bitch. I hated that witch doctor.

The Hugo series was fun. Really was a bitch at times, though.
