[comp.sys.ibm.pc] SPACE QUEST 1: request for help

tensi@lan.informatik.tu-muenchen.dbp.de (Thomas Tensi) (03/29/89)

Hi there,

a girlfriend of mine is stuck in the game of SPACE QUEST on a PC.
(Next page possibly contains spoilers!)

She is in the Sarien ship Deltaur, dressed as a Sarien but lost her helmet. She
killed the warden at the Star Generator with a gas bomb and is now in the room
with two elevators. One of them is "Out of Order" but seems to be the way to
go. Wandering around in the ship didn't reveal anything else.

She has the following stuff with her:

  Gadget, glass, Xenon army knife, plant, keycard, cartridge, sarien id card,
  survival kit, gas grenade, pulseray

Any ideas how to proceed?

Please E-mail me to save net bandwidth; I'll summarize on request.

Thank you.

I got a very helpful hint from a colleague who read my message on how to
proceed in the sarien ship past the level with one damaged elevator in the
PC-version of SPACE QUEST 1.

(SPOILER)

First disable the field protecting the Star Generator. (The dead warden has
a _remote control_ with him.)

Thanks a lot for your help, Franz.
