This has been out for a long time, but I never bothered to play it until recently. And my verdict: terrible.
I just had the idea that since it was spread around so much it was probably good. And of course it's not going to be as good as a regular Space Quest game. But taking all that into account, it still sucks ass.
While most of the backdrops and close-ups of Roger Wilco look fairly good (for a fan-made game), for some reason Roger is constantly shown with huge pronounced pecs and a sixpack. His actual in-game sprites look like blocks stacked upon each other. But what really kills it is, of course, the text. The intro is piled up with text windows full of unnecessary exposition. It's like:
You are lying in your sleep chamber. There is much astonishing plant life on this planet. But you can't see it cause you're not awake.
Any moment now you should be waking up.
You're starting to wake up.
You're awake.
But once you're actually exploring outside the ship and looking at stuff, it's:
There is a big tree in the background. There is nothing interesting about it.
There are some animals walking around. No, you can't pick them up.
You are in the jungle. There are plants.
The deaths are of Hugo's Haunted House quality. As in, you walk into a monster and a text window describes what happens to you. Plus, 'you are dead.'
OK, so I was very bored to try this out. Sorry for not providing a download link, but if someone doesn't know about this and wants to see for themselves, I'll go look it up somewhere.
