He's out to clean up the universe...
...But he doesn't do windows. Strap into your computer station and prepare for blast-off. If the thrilling graphics don't blow you off your chair, the laughs will have you rolling on the floor. If you can help Roger Wilco he could use it.
Hey, wake up! Roger Wilco's the chief sanitation engineer (a.k.a. Janitor) on the starship Arcada. His mission: to scrub dirty decks... to replace burned-out lightbulbs... to boldly go where no man has swept the floor!
But while he was napping in the broom closet, his starship was hijacked by the Sarien Stormtroopers. Now the top-secret Star Generator's been stolen. And if Roger doesn't get it back, the universe as we know it is toast!
Kaboom! The Two Guys from Andromeda often travel the cosmos under the aliases of Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe. They're best known for their award-winning Space Quest series and their frequent sightings with Elvis.

About This Game
A lowly janitor aboard the scientific vessel Arcada awakens from a nap in a broom closet to discover the ship under attack by an alien faction known as the Sariens, who have seized a powerful experimental device called the Star Generator. Escaping via pod, the protagonist crash-lands on the arid planet Kerona, where he must navigate hostile terrain and underground caverns to survive. After proving himself by defeating a fearsome local creature and earning favor with an insectoid inhabitant, he acquires transportation and eventually reaches the frontier town of Ulence Flats, where fortune at a slot machine provides him the means to purchase a ship. Learning the location of the Sarien vessel Deltaur, he infiltrates the enemy craft through a series of improvised and unconventional methods, from disguise to infiltration, ultimately reaching the Star Generator and triggering its self-destruct sequence before barely escaping the explosion.
