| How to play this game on modern machines | IDX00 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Space Quest is written on a machine that is almost ancient, and a system that
is not (completely) supported by Windows and other modern OSes.
Therefore you're gonna need a emulator for old systems.
When I wrote this FAQ I used DosBox 0.72 (MacOS X PPC version).
DosBox can be downloaded from http://www.dosbox.com

Well, in my SQ2 walkthrough I told you SQ3 would immediately start where SQ2
ended. You start the game when you are picked up after your escape from Vohaul
by a garbage scow.
Way to go.
Now to get outta here...
- Exit east
- = Get the wires
= Exit west
- Exit west
- Exit south
- Exit east
- Stand on the machine carrying the rocks to go up (10)
- As soon as you are on the conveyor
= STAND UP
= JUMP (20)
= Exit west
- Keep going west until you are in a room with a robot
- If you hang around too long here the robot will kill you. Just for your
information. :)
= Stand over the cart thing and type ENTER MACHINE
= Go backward and take the northern exit east
- From here find the good position and press the button. If you picked it right
the grabber picks up an engine. If you did wrong, move your cart and try it
again, until you got it. (35)
Exit east
- Exit east
- Exit east
- Exit east
- Move to the front and press the button to release the engine. If you did right
it ends up in the back of a ship (hidden in garbage), if not pick the engine
up again, and try it again. (50)
Exit west, and keep going west until you are in the room with the droid again.
- = Stop the cart in front the "path" south of it and get off the machine.
= Go south until you fall in the hole there.
- You may see some rats. Don't you worry, they will not hurt you.
= Go west and get the reactor (70) and it will get dark
= Go to the ladder and climb it
- Exit north until you reach your old ship again
- Exit east
- Enter the tube (exit east)
- A rat will attack you and steal all your stuff except the reactor. Damn.
Exit west.
- Exit west
- Exit south
- Go to the most southern-western spot and climb down
- = Go west
= GET REACTOR
= GET WIRES
= Go back to the ladder and climb up
- = GET THE LADDER (80)
= Exit north (twice)
- Exit east
- Exit east (into the tube)
- Exit east
- Climb into the giant head (CLIMB HEAD)
- = Move to the front of the ship
= USE LADDER
= CLIMB
= OPEN HATCH
- = USE REACTOR
= USE WIRE
= SIT (you'll move to the cockpit)
= LOOK SCREEN
- Now you see a menu. Only 2 features are yet chosable, but as you continue
there will be more.
= Choose 1. Engines
= Choose 7. Radar
= Choose 3. Takeoff
= Choose 8. Weapon System
= Choose F. Front (Shields)
= Press space (Fire)
Okay, you made it out of the garbage scow. Look at the screen again.
= Choose 2. Navigation System
= Choose 1. Scan
= The game will show you Ortega. Sorry can't go there yet, choose scan again.
= The game will show Phleebhut. Choose 2. Set Course
= Choose 5. Light speed
Now you'll see that the Terminator is after you. That means trouble.
Well, it'll take awhile before he finds you. When you see the computer screen
again, choose 3. Land.
Stand, and open the hatch to get on the surface.

Inventory: Glowing Gem
What you must know is this. When you go to far to the south, you'll be eaten
by a big snake. When you go too far to the north you'll be zapped by lightning.
You may see the terminator landing too. Don't worry about it, this is not a
timed mission.
- Exit west
- Avoid the "things" in the cave, and exit north
- Exit west
- Exit north (That monster you see is not real).
- Enter the world of wonders shop
- = Sell the gem (you can say "no" twice, after that you should sell it or
you'll never get enough money for it).
= Buy Orat on a stick
= Buy the chicken hat (Not that you need it, but you get points if you do)
= Buy the thermoweave underwear
= After that leave
- Now the Terminator will catch you.
He'll allow two ways to get rid of him.
One of them is to go west, enter the building go up the elevator and grab
the hook when the Terminator gets close. This method gets you less points
though, and does not always work. So I'm going for the long method here.
= Exit south x3
- Exit east
- = Stand in the cave behind the "things" and wait for the Terminator to come
it'll get eaten by the "things". (Sometimes the Terminator simply won't
come. I don't know what causes that, or what to do about it. DON'T GO TO
YOUR SHIP. If you go there, you'll be killed. It could be that exitting
west and coming back can fix this).
= Use the Orat on a stick to get the Terminator's invisibility belt
= Exit east
- Enter your ship.
I suppse you know how the ship works now. Use it to go to Monolith Burger

Inventory: Orat on a stick, ThermoWeave Underwear, Astro Chicken Flight Hat
Buckazoids, Invisibility Belt
- Exit west
- Go to the clerk
- Order the Fun meal, after the silly questions pay
- = Sit at a table
= Eat
You'll get a decoder ring. (258)
= Stand up
= Go to the arcade game
= Play it.
- This is ASTRO CHICKEN. One of the most silly games of the universe.
The object is to play this game until you get a secret message.
To do this, land Astro Chicken on the mat as much as possible.
Harder than you think. I hope you can appreciate this crappy game.
The points you win are counted for you actual score. I got mine to 308 and
then the game stopped counting points
Once you played enough you get the secret message.
Use the ring to get the key to decode it (378)
In case you don't feel like deciphering, let me do it for you.
Help us! we are being held captive by ScumSoft on the small moon of
Pestulon.
An in penetrable force field surrounds the moon.
It must first be deactivated.
It's origin is unknown to use.
ScumSoft security is armed with jello pistols.
We're counting on you whoever you are.
Two guys in trouble
After reading this message you are done here, and you can leave this place.
Next stop Ortega.

Before you leave your spaceship wear your thermoweave underwear or the heat
on this planet will kill you.
Another thing you need to know. When you fall in the cracks you are dead.
Pretty obvious, but just an extra warning.
- After leaving your ship, exit south
- Exit west
- Go south and exit south. (Careful, the "bridge" is not stable).
- = Wait until the men here are gone (they'll kill you if you don't wait)
= Use the telescope, and you'll discover Pestulon (398)
= Get a detonator from the box (408)
= Get the pole (418)
= Exit east
- Exit east
- Exit north
- You reach the outside of the generator. Exit north
- Exit downstairs
- Go north, exit east
- Go to the ladder and climb it
- WARNING!
Before you do anything. Once you continue here a timer will start to run.
A timer you don't see, but one that is pretty narrow.
Once you continued you have a short time to reach your ship and get off
the planet. If you exceed the time you are dead.
= Throw the Detonator into the big hole (438)
= Climb down
- Exit west
- Exit south
- Exit south
- Exit west twice
- Exit north
- = USE POLE (you'll use your pole to jump over the crack) (458)
= Exit east
- Go to the center of the screen and exit north
- If you are at your ship enter otherwise exit east or west, pending on where
you went north.
Next stop..... Pestulon

about that later. For now, just go back.

Enter his office, steal the keycard from his desk and exit south (498)

The game will explain how the battle works so no explanation required here.
When you win, you'll get into your space ship for one last battle.
For the space battle goes, to keep your shields where the enemy is (what the
radar will tell you), and to shoot all targets the game allows you to shoot.
If you make it you finished the game. (728)
