Janitor Code Key (compiled by Corey
Welton). Here's you chance to show
what you like and know about the wildly successful Space Quest
series.
Similar to the
Geek Code,
all the same non-char symbols apply in the same
way.
@ - varying trait ie., B--@
() - crossover range. ie., 1+(+++)
> - wannabe. ie., FAQ++>+++
$ - getting paid for it! ie., HW$ (how!?)
? - unsure about said topic. ie., B?
! - irrelevant/refusal to answer.
Please refer to the geek code for a more complete explanation.
The letters and numbers, are different however. Here's how
they work:
PART I: Personal
-----------------
[J: occupation type]
Similar to Geek Code occupation type. Refer to Geek
Code for
possibilities.
[a: age]
a+++ 60 and up
a++ 50-59
a+ 40-49
a 30-39
a- 25-29
a-- 20-24
a--- 15-19
a---- 10-14
a----- 9 and under (Space Cadet in training)
a? immortal!
!a does it matter?
Anyone can play SQ!
*Exact age is allowable (ie., a23)
[Sex]
xy male
xx female
!x undisclosed
Part II: Game Interests
------------------------
[1-6: game interest: repeat for each episode]
1++++ It is the most amazing creation since the Monolith Burger.
I play
it everyday. Three times.
I have the likeness of this incarnation
of Roger on my forehead.
1+++ I like this episode a lot. Probably too much to
be considered
healthy. I still play it fairly
often, looking for new, hidden
bits of humour.
1++ I like this episode. I'll load it up occasionally,
even if it means
re-configuring my system to get
it to load.
1+ It's a fun episode; I like it, if only
for sentimental reasons.
I don't really play it anymore,
though.
1 Overall, this was a pretty average game.
1- The only reason I played this one was because
it had 'Space Quest'
written on the box.
1-- Why didn't the Sequel Police get their hands on
this thing?!
1--- What the heck were the Two Guys thinking?!!
1---- mv sq* /dev/null/
1? which episode was this?
Part III: Skills/knowledge
---------------------------
[v: victories (games completed)]
v+++ I have completed them all. I have taken my share of aliens,
temptresses, crashlandings, and exploding
toilets. I have emerged
victorious.
v++ I have finished five out of six of Roger's adventures.
I am an
accomplished Space Questor.
v+ I have finished four Space Quest games (not counting
the multiple
sequels in SQ4).
v I have completed three Space Quests--pretty
average!
v- I have only beaten two out of six. I could
use a little more time
in the simulator.
v-- I have only finished one of Roger's games. Oh,
well...
v--- I have yet to finish a Space Quest game. I am one pitiful
gamer.
v* I am Scott Murphy/Mark Crowe/Josh Mandel.
v? How do you load these games?
[HW: Interest in Hints/Walkthroughs]
HW++++ They are an integral part of my SQ playing.
HW+++ I used to read up on hints, but I pretty much have
them all
memorised now.
HW++ I still read up on hints when I can't remember
how to do
something.
HW+ I've used hints/walkthroughs, but only because
they were there...
HW I'm indifferent.
HW- I think hints take away from the fun of the
game.
HW-- I think hint pages are a nuisance to the game
HW--- I'm pretty much completely against hints and walkthroughs
HW---- CHEATERS! CHEATERS! ALL OF YOU! *JEER* *RAZZ*
HW? I need a clue.
[FAQ: SQ Knowledge]
FAQ++++ I am Troels Pleimert.
FAQ+++ I know just about every freakin' thing there is to
know about the
Space Quest series.
I've helped create the FAQ. I'm currently
working on creating
the SQ Trival Pursuit edition.
FAQ++ I know a great deal about the game. I could
probably answer any
question you have.
FAQ+ I know a lot, but am no expert.
FAQ I'm your average Joe.
FAQ- You probably don't want to ask me any SQ
trivia.
FAQ-- Please don't ask me any SQ questions. It'll
only embarrass me.
FAQ--- C'mon, I just play the game, I don't write it!
FAQ---- I only play Leisure Suit Larry.
FAQ? Help, Help! I have a question!
PART IV: Game aspects
----------------------
[T: Text Parser]
T++++ The Text Parser ROCKS! My fingers are indeed bloody
stumps.
T+++ The Text Parser should have never been trifled with.
T++ I like the Text Parser, and will probably stay
that way.
T+ I like the Text Parser, but don't mind that
it was pre-empted.
T I like both equally well, I'm indifferent.
T- The icon interface is easier to use--stick
with it.
T-- Give me a mouse any day.
T--- I threw a party when the day came that the graphical
toolbar came
into existence.
T---- Get a life, DOSheads. Step into the 21st Century.
Like my
grandmother always said, why milk
the cow....
!T I play subliminally.
T? What is a text parser?
[A: Interest in Astro Chicken]
A++++ I have an unhealthy interest in Astro Chicken. I insist
that the
chicken fillet sandwiches in the
school cafeteria are Astro Chicken
sandwiches.
A+++ I love Astro Chicken--he's definitely the best arcade
sequence in
the entire series.
A++ I still fire up SQ3 occasionally for a round of
Astro Chicken.
A+ Astro Chicken was kinda cool, I guess.
A I'm indifferent.
A- Bah, he's no big cluck.
A-- Astro Chicken is just plain fowl.
A--- The Space Quest series would be better
A---- I hate everything about Astro Chicken, Ms. Astro Chicken,
and
chicken in general.
[B: Interest in Bea Wankmeister]
B++++ Sierra has their guards on full-alert, watching for my presence.
B+++ Bea is a hottie!
B++ Bea is awesome. I'm jealous of Roger in a
big way.
B+ Bea is an integral part to the SQ games.
B Bea is just 'another character' in the
series.
B- Bea is a minor character in the scheme of
things.
B-- Who cares about Bea, for Scottsake!
B--- Anyone B+ or higher is just a perv.
B---- She's on my dartboard. Bullseye.
[S: Interest in Sludge Vohaul]
S++++ I worship the ground this man drools on.
S+++ C'mon, I think he was given a bad rap! Let's see a game
from his
perspective! I'm all for revisionist
history!
S++ For a bad guy, he's pretty rad.
S+ An integral part of the series.
S I'm indifferent. Pass the chips.
S- Sludge could use a little more development.
S-- I much prefer the Sariens, or Sharpei, or Captain
Quirk...
S--- Why was he even introduced into the series in the first
place?
S---- I stopped playing Space Quest when Sludge showed up in SQ2!
When you get done, your code should look something like this:

Version .90a
JCS a23 !x 1 2++ 3- 4++++ 5 6++ v+++>++++ HW++ FAQ T++ A- B+ S++
