2. Introduction

=====================================================================

Welcome to my Space Quest 2 FAQ! The purpose of this FAQ is to help you 
through this old, but still fun to play great adventure game. This guide 
is split into ten different sections:

- The Introduction: The introduction to the FAQ.

- My Review: Basically a description of the game. No hints or tips are 
given away here.

- The Guide: A short, but detailed guide on how to get all the points in 
the game. The guide is very basic, but was intended to be that way as 
it's easier to read and follow.

- Point Listing: Just a list on what parts of the game give you points.

- Frequently Asked Questions: The main part of this FAQ. It covers most 
questions that people would ask about the game.

- Easter Eggs: This sections covers secrets that probably weren't meant 
to be found in the game.

- Cheats: Just a few basic cheats for the game.

- Special Thanks: The section where people who have helped in some way 
or another with this FAQ are thanked.

- Conclusion: The conclusion of the FAQ.

- Copyright Information: The small, yet important section on copyright 
information. Read this if you have any questions about the copyright of 
my FAQ.

So, what has happened since the last Space Quest? Well, not much 
actually. Basically, in the first game, the main baddie was Sludge 
Vohaul (although you didn't see him in the game). What he was planning 
to do was to kill every one on Xenon (Roger's home planet). However, 
Roger defeated Sludge's evil plans, and expectedly, Sludge was not 
pleased. This time around, Sludge intends to dump thousands of insurance 
salesman on the planet of Xenon, and naturally, he must be stopped yet 
again.

But what has changed from the last game? Well, not much. The graphics 
have been changed a bit, and the difficulty is much harder than last 
time. There's also more than one way to complete the game, and it's MUCH 
more difficult to get maximum points in this game! But is it a better 
game than Space Quest 1? Hmm... I'd say not. Space Quest 1, although a 
smaller game, was just a bit better than Space Quest 2. It just had more 
replay value and things to try. Space Quest 2 is still a great game 
though, and I'd advise anyone who likes adventure games to give it a go.

=====================================================================

3. My Review

=====================================================================

Space Quest 1 was created by Sierra in 1987. It was one of the first 
graphic adventure games, where you had to actually type in commands in 
order to make the game work. Space Quest 1 introduced Roger Wilco, a 
janitor aboard the spaceship Arcada. He was happily snoozing away in a 
broom closet, when some deadly aliens called Sariens took over the ship, 
stole a precious device known as the star generator, and killed everyone 
on board apart from Wilco. He wakes up shortly after hearing the 
emergency call that the ship is going to explode in 15 minutes. After 
escaping from the ship, the object was to retrieve the star generator, 
and lead Roger safely home. Because this was one of the first adventure 
games out, Space Quest 1 was obviously a great success, and it was no 
surprise when a year later, Space Quest 2 came out.

Space Quest 2 is based shortly after Space Quest 1. Sludge Vohaul (the 
bad guy from Space Quest 1), was accidentally defeated by Roger when he 
blew the Sarien ship up. In the original, Vohaul was intending to kill 
all the people on Xenon (Roger's home planet). In Space Quest 2, his 
plan is to dump a whole load of insurance salesmen onto the planet 
instead. So was this widely anticipated sequel a better game than the 
original? Read on to find out.

Graphics - 8/10

Despite being made a year later than the original, Space Quest 2 still 
has the same old blocky EGA graphics. Nothing about the graphics seem 
better, but they are still fun to look at. Roger has changed, and looks 
a little less like a cube, and more like an actual person. Other changes 
are only slight. The scenery looks more detailed, and is generally well 
drawn. The animations haven't improved, and Roger seems to still have 
the same old jerky walk as seen in the original. There are actually 
quite nice backgrounds in this game. To begin the game, there's a starry 
sky. In another part, there's a well drawn spaceship. And all of these 
backgrounds must have been extremely hard to draw back in 1988, because 
they would have had only the most simple programs to draw with. In some 
parts of the game, such as in Vohaul's Asteroid, some of the locations 
tend to look a little less detailed than in the early locations of the 
game. By today's standards, the graphics in Space Quest 2 are bad. But 
back in 1988, the graphics in Space Quest 2 must have been absolutely 
amazing, and that's the way people should try and remember them.

Sound - 4/10

One of the bad things about this game is the terrible sound. What sound 
there is in this game echoes from somewhere deep down in the depths of 
your PC. Basically, music and sound effects in this game are represented 
by beeps and boops of different pitches. A low boop here, and high beep 
there, put them all together at different speeds, and you will 
eventually come up with something that slightly resembles music. The 
sound is extremely loud, and can get very annoying at times. Thankfully, 
there is a way to turn the sound off. By simply pressing F2, the 
annoying high pitched sound will be turned completely off. Actually, 
once you know about this function key, you might even leave the sound on 
so you can hear what people actually had to put up with.

Game Play - 8/10

Space Quest 2 is totally different from the adventure games these days. 
Usually with adventure games, you use the mouse to get, use or look at 
certain objects, simply by moving the cursor and clicking on various 
objects. In 1988, a mouse wasn't even invented yet, so you had to rely 
on the keyboard to do all of the work for you. In Space Quest 2, you use 
the keyboard to do everything. To walk left, right, up or down, you use 
the arrow keys. To get, use or look at certain objects, you actually 
have to type in what you want to do, such as "get the object". This is 
actually a much more fun way of playing games, as it requires you to 
think about what you are typing. The bad point about having this typing 
interface, is that Space Quest 2 doesn't understand a lot of words, and 
so you're forced to think of sensible ways of typing the sentence. The 
game is very difficult in places, requiring you to really think about 
the puzzle before you can get past it. The game is non-linear, meaning 
that you don't have to follow a strict and certain path. This is good, 
as it encourages you to go off exploring in the game whenever you like. 
Another aspect of what makes the game so good is trying to find all the 
points (250 is the most you can get). When you complete the game for the 
first time, it's unlikely that you will find all the points, as there 
are many different ways to complete this game. This game has great game 
play as there are just so many things to do.

Last Ability - 8/10

Space Quest 2 is definitely a much larger game than the original. There 
are many more locations, and they all seem to be varied and original. 
This game is also more difficult than the original, and some of the 
puzzles really require you to think in order to solve them. Whenever you 
accomplish a certain important task in the game, you will get points 
added to your overall score. There are 250 points to find in total, and 
finding every single point is extremely difficult. For this reason, it's 
likely that your score isn't going to be 250/250 straight away, so 
you'll probably want to go back and try and find things that will get 
you more points. By the 2nd game, you might have maximum points. By the 
3rd game, you'll have probably found out that there's still a lot more 
to do in the game besides getting maximum points. By the 4th game, you 
might have found just about everything there is to do. And from then on, 
you might just want to play the game for the fun of it!

Overall - 8/10

So, is this game better than the original? Well, the graphics have been 
slightly improved. Objects, characters and backgrounds have more detail 
on them than the original. The sound is unfortunately the same, high 
pitched beeping sound that was heard in Space Quest 1. The game play is 
actually less fun, because of the fact that the plot isn't as good, and 
also because the puzzles may be too hard for some beginners to the 
adventure game genre. The last ability has been vastly improved. More 
puzzles, higher difficulty and more locations definitely make this a 
long lasting game. Overall, Space Quest 2 is a good adventure game, but 
lacks the style and game play of the original.

4. The Guide

=====================================================================

Although this guide is written to show you how to get maximum points, it 
doesn't show you all the places and things to do in the game. Try 
exploring around a bit to see some interesting things. Try completing 
the game by using this guide first, and if you're still having problems 
getting maximum points, read the point listing section of this FAQ.
