Title: Space Quest II - Vohaul's Revenge - Remake.
Post by: Blackthorne on Sat 31/12/2011 06:21:32
DECEMBER 30th, 2011 - After more than five years of working on the game, bit by bit in their spare time, the team at INFAMOUS ADVENTURES (www.infamous-adventures.com) has released their remake of the 1987 classic, "SPACE QUEST II: Vohaul's Revenge".  Originally written and programmed by Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe and released by Sierra On-Line, the game features the hapless hero, janitor Roger Wilco in a rollicking adventure that takes him through space! 

Remade in a classic retro "VGA" style, like Sierra's later point and click adventures from the early 1990's, Space Quest II Remake provides hand-drawn backgrounds, hand animated characters, a full voice pack featuring over 4,000 recorded lines and a whole lot of extras and fun.  A labor of love and devotion to the original series, the team at Infamous Adventures is proud to be able to release this to the fans, both young and old.  Visit www.infamous-adventures for more details.

So what are you waiting for?

Special Thanks to all the team members involved in putting this together.  So many people came together over the past five years to make this, and they were all amazing.  I had a lot of fun working with them, and making this game.

edit: Got to Labion... this is a good game! A lot of funny lines. There's a lot of heart and soul poured into this game. ;)

edit: Oh my god, there's a MANUAL too!? With clever fictious adverts relating to the game? ...It's... fantastic. :D

Good work, I like your SQ II - Remake! :)

The graphics remind me on SQ V and the music sounds wonderful.

The installer keeps freezing at 50% for me.

Edit: nevermind. Leaving it alone long enough did the trick.

I'm having trouble getting this to run in full screen. I'm trying on several computers with different monitors/cards/OS and no luck. What is the intended graphics card specs?

In the setup, choose the x4 filter, this should change the displayed resolution to 1280x800. Check "force alternate letterbox resolution" for 1280x960 on a 4:3 monitor.
This should run fine on any monitor/card/OS combination except maybe with Win7 64bit. People keep reporting problems with that one.

Make sure to try both DirectDraw and Direct3D, and if you're on Win7, update DirectX 9(!).

Yay, that worked! Thanks, Khris

Now I'm stuck in the canyon maze :)

Year of the Space Quest :)

Well, this was the second adventure game I've ever played (the first one being KQ3) so I'm looking forward to opening this, as soon as the download finishes.

(edit) aaaand game completed, 248 out of 250. Yay!

Here's a bug: if you try to smell the yellow stripes on the pattern on the floor in the shuttle bay, Roger says "I can't quite make out the smell.", but there's no voice acting to go with it.

Thanks, man.  We got that one!  Should be covered in the coming patch.

The narration messages for talking to/sniffing/licking Vohaul's corpse also seem to be off by one.
