For those who don't know yet there is a new Space Quest remake out now. It's called "Space Quest 3D" and its freeware here: https://turbochimp.itch.io/space-quest-3d. This game its Space Quest III reimagined in 3D, full voiced acted, graphic adventure. I wont say it's a better game compared to the original, but its good enough for those who don't liked those old retro pixel graphics without voice acting.

The parody about Sierra at the end is hilarious,

Why do you bother packing these files as read only? At least go back and repack them properly.

i use linux so to make the game run just cd to the directory and type "chmod +rwx *" without the quotes and run in dosbox

Is there any way to get these games to work on a 64-bit machine?

Bobby 2014-09-17 1 point DOS version

To make this work in DosBOX go to the folder with Windows Explorer and right click on resources.cfg and untick the box for "read only" then apply. Go back to DosBox and mount the directory and run "install.bat" - seclect you options - then run "sciv.exe"

This works fine in dosbox!! It seems the file wasn't properly named and you need to use the SCIV.exe

I only ever played this SQ game to completion and I loved it. I tried one of the later ones but I didn't like the interface so I gave up.

Works with ScummVM

It also won't run with dosbox and Dfend, some error

This download will not work with DOSBox and shows up in D-Fend reloaded as "larry" which leads me to believe that this is not space ques III but that other game.

I loved this game series back in the day. These games had a lot of imagination and soul. Fun as hell too.

I played Space Quest 3 for a few minutes back in high school. 10 years later, I found the first 3 at the local Goodwill and bought them all for a dollar a piece. I have never regretted it, as the first three Space Quest games are my favorite games in the series.

My first Space Quest game, loved it.

This game is tons of fun! Whimsical, silly, offbeat. Think of the King's Quest series, but with a bumbling Buck Rogers. I have really great memories of this game as a kid. Can't wait to play it again!
