And hot on his ion trail are the Sequel Police, deadly crosstime assassins who are out to put an end to Roger and all of his Space Quest nonsense once and for all. Once again it's up to Roger Wilco to save his future- or is that his past?- of the Space Quest series, and keep the universe safe for fair play, bad jokes, and lots more Space Quest Games.

About This Game

Roger Wilco finds himself caught in a temporal chase when a resurrected manifestation of his old nemesis Sludge Vohaul pursues him across multiple timelines, determined to finish what it started. Hunted through the space-faring adventures of both past and future iterations of the Space Quest saga, Roger must navigate between different eras—including a visit to the gaudy world of Latex Babes of Estros and a dangerous return to the original Space Quest, where the game's visual presentation shifts dramatically and he faces hostile adversaries who resent his technological superiority. The adventure unfolds almost entirely outside the events of the fourth installment itself, with the actual Space Quest IV serving merely as a brief prologue to this timeline-bending ordeal.
