Which do you think is the hardest Space Quest game? Break it down into two categories, puzzles and action sequences.

I'd say that Space Quest 6 has the hardest puzzles, and Space Quest 4 has the hardest action sequences.

No, I want to say SQ4 for both of those. I couldn't get past anything in that game without a walkthrough.

SQ6's puzzles didn't make sense. SQ4's puzzles were rightfully challenging.

I'll go with SQ6.

I agree that SQ6's puzzles didn't really make sense. I don't really understand a lot of that game.

Gotta' say SQ5 for action sequences, with the floor-cleaning episode that you couldn't see in EGA, the difficult-to-control Rescue Cliffy scenario, and the maddeningly random Battleship clone in the Space Bar.

Eek.

SQ1EGA. The scientist kept dying before I could complete the heart transplant (thus keeping the secrets of the Star Generator safe), or alternately the Sariens got me before I could close up the surgery site.

Also, the hovercraft sequence was pretty challenging since I play the game on the Fastest setting with DosBOX's CPU cycles turned all the way up.

When playing with the EGA driver you can choose to skip the floor cleaning sequence. Why are you playing the game in EGA anyway?

I was playing it in EGA because that's all I had on my 286.

I know you can skip it, but that's the point ... it's designed in a way that doesn't take 16 colors into account, even though they offered a 16-color version, making it so hard that you were allowed to skip it.

They're ALL very hard!! When I was little, I used to spend HOURS wandering around these games just trying to do ANYTHING new to make the game progress. That's probably why everything seemed so adventurous and funny, because it was such hard work. Now I'm an adult with synapses designed for Action-Adventure Games.

I had the hardest time with sq1 ega, back when i was a kid i couldn't figure out that i needed glass from the broken window to stop the beams, i probably walked through em a hundred times before finally convincing my mom to buy the hint book, then she would only let me use the revealer pen once a week... by the time i finished the game sq2 was out, which was a good thing i guess...

as far as arcade difficulty i vote sq4
