Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers

Point-and-click adventure where janitor Roger Wilco dodges assassins across different time periods. You'll jump between past and future Space Quest installments—visit the original game's low-res world, explore a future sequel, all while the Sequel Police hunt you through these timelines. The comedy leans on self-referential gags: enter Space Quest I and the graphics downgrade to match 1986 tech, or run into bikers who mock your 256-color palette. Puzzles involve inventory items and environmental logic typical of Sierra's adventure games from this era. The story parodies sci-fi tropes and the adventure game genre itself. If you want straightforward space opera, look elsewhere—this one's built on fourth-wall breaks and absurdist humor.
