Quest 4 Plot Inconsistencies
In
the mall in Space Quest 4, it is said about the Dandy Recipe
Beamer,
that the uplink won't be up until summer 2735, which indicates
that the game takes place sometime before that. However, in Space
Quest
6, the sign near the Information Superhighway Offices says it's
to be completed "Never", scratched out from "9345",
scratched out from "8345", scratched out from "7345",
scratched out from "6345". This indicates that the
game takes place much later in time than SQ4. To top it, the
mall scene
from SQ4 is supposed to be in the future. Also an interesting note:
the Galactic Inquirer magazine that came with SQ5 is from the
year
3009.
 You
can examine some writings on the backside wall of the
Keronian
Bar. The game will tell you that "you don't know what
it says but you're sure it's not flattering". But in
Space Quest 1, you can also read the message, and it will
say: "It appears to be Sarien. You're a little rusty
in your Sarien but it appears to say: "Xenon bites!" So
Roger does knows what it says! |
If you get
the Sequel Police to appear before you even have been to the Software
Store then that store's gate will be closed, but the crowd is
still trying to run into the store, bumping against the gate.
Here's
a screenshot. As you might have guessed, getting that Space
Quest 4 hintbook this way will be quite hard.
