Newsletter Winter 1987
 This
issue mainly deals with the new Police Quest that had just been
released. But it does contain some interesting Space Quest tidbits.
The
entire magazine can be viewed and downloaded from the following
site: http://sierra.icequake.net.
has gathered all the Space Quest related articles of this issue
for you below.
Space
Quest II - Vohaul's Revenge
(complete)
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into space,
he's back! And he wants revenge! Sludge Vohaul, the demented
evil scientist (whose sinister plan was foiled in our first episode)
is still seething over his Sarien slipup. Madder than a drenched
Astro Chicken (and more determined than ever to rule the universe),
Vohaul has devised a new plan. A plan so evil that only one as wickedly
sadistic as he could imagine it. Yes, the worst nightmare ever is
about to come knocking on your door -- and it won't take no
for an answer! It's the invasion of the insurance salesmen! Beat
the odds. Conquer insurmountable obstacles. Defy gravity. Cry for
help. Flounder your way through more perilous escapades than you
can wiggle a space worm at. Packed with comedy, tragedy, suspense,
horror and many other nouns, Vohaul's Revenge will relieve that
heavy feeling in your wallet. Vohaul's Revenge is the truly funny
follow-up to the cult classic The Sarien Encounter.
Hint
Books Save You Money
(complete)
Eliminate
those expensive calls to Customer Service when you get seriously
stuck. Or, look for things you missed doing after you finish playing
the game. (Some of the things these programmers do are pretty wild.)
A special "invisiclue" pen lets you reveal only those
solutions you want, without revealing more than you want to know.
Complete game maps are available with each hint book. Hint books
are available for these popular Sierra titles: King's Quest, King's
Quest II, King's Quest III. The Black Cauldron, Space Quest I, Space
Quest II and Leisure Suit Larry. Hint book for Police Quest and
Space Quest II are expected to be available in late December and
early January, respectively. Sierra hint books are available at
a software store neat you. Or you can order direct by sending a
check or money order for $7.95 (shipping and handling fee, California
residents add appropriate sales tax) to Sierra Sales, P.O. Box 485,
Coarsegold, CA 93614. Phone orders accepted with major credit cards
(MasterCard, Visa, American Express) by calling either (800) 344-7448
or (209) 683-6858.
Collector's
Alert!
(complete)
Some owners
of Space Quest - Chapter One may have a collector's item on their
hands. The currently shipping Space Quest box has a picture on the
back of authors Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe, posing in front of
the Yosemite's Half Dome. However, if you will note, Half Dome is
backwards! (Just compare it with the Sierra logo, which is a representation
of Half Dome.) Sierra artists will soon be redesigning a new Space
Quest box, so supplies of this unusual representation are rather
limited.
