Space Quest is a series of six comedic science fiction computer adventure games released between 1986 and 1995.

Scott and Mark created a short demo, which ended up becoming the first four rooms of Space Quest I, at which point Ken gave the project a green-light.

Space Quest III was written in Sierra's Creative Interpreter ( SCI ), which had 3-D capabilities.

Space Quest IV marked an evolution in terms of graphics by increasing the number of colors from 16 to 256 colors.

Roger Wilco is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Space Quest series, introduced in Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter in 1986.

The first two Space Quest games allowed the player to choose the character's name, which defaulted to Roger Wilco if left blank.

Graduating in Space Quest V, he is promoted from a janitor to captain of the garbage scow SCS Eureka.

In Space Quest 6 his spot in the limelight ends as he is busted back down to janitor and assigned to the backwoods of the cosmos.

It is revealed in the time travel tomfoolery that is Space Quest IV that Roger would eventually marry Beatrice and that they would have a son ( Roger Wilco Jr .) As Wilco now owes his life to his son, this must happen.

Beatrice is absent from Space Quest 6, but she is mentioned in the game's closing credits and by Roger himself.

We also learn that by Space Quest XII, when Roger Jr. is a young adult, Roger will be " unavailable " for some reason.

) While this retcon is never addressed in the game itself it spawned a full-fledged fangame, Space Quest: The Lost Chapter.

The original Space Quest game was released in October 1986 and quickly became a hit, selling in excess of 100, 000 copies ( sales are believed to be around 200, 000 to date, not including the many compilations it has been included in ).

It was remade and re-released in 1991 as " Space Quest I: Roger Wilco in the Sarien Encounter ".

Released in 1991 ; in this installment, Roger embarks on a wacky time-travel adventure through Space Quest games both past and future.

A reborn Sludge Vohaul from Space Quest XII chases Roger through time in an attempt to finally kill him.

Roger also visits Space Quest X: Latex Babes of Estros ( whose title is a parody of Infocom's game Leather Goddesses of Phobos ) and Space Quest I ; in the latter, the graphics and music revert to the style of the original game and Roger is threatened by a group of monochromatic bikers who consider Roger's 256 colors pretentious ( or comment on other graphics modes if played in EGA or Monochrome ).

For example a B205 console was often shown in the television series Batman as the Bat Computer ; also as the computer in Lost in Space.

The red-headed Mumy came to prominence in the 1960s as a child actor, most notably as Will Robinson, the youngest of the three children of Prof. John and Dr. Maureen Robinson ( played by Guy Williams and June Lockhart respectively ) and friend of the nefarious and pompous Dr. Zachary Smith ( played by Jonathan Harris ), in the 1960s CBS sci-fi television series Lost in Space.

At age 11, in 1965, Mumy began working with Jonathan Harris on Lost in Space, and the two became close friends, both on and off set.

Mumy worked again with Harris on the 1998 retrospective special Lost In Space: Forever, where they reprised their roles in a scene written by Mumy ( with Harris re-writing his lines ).

This was done one year after the rest of the cast ( including both Mumy & Harris ) appeared inside TV Guide and said that the Sci Fi Channel had planned to do a Lost in Space marathon while promoting a new movie.

Harris was to appear in the planned TV movie, Lost in Space: The Journey Home, but died before production started in 2002 and the production was cancelled.

According to a 2010 interview on Blog Talk Radios, Lessons Learned, Rick Tocquigny, when asked if Mumy was a Jonathan Harris fan, before Mumy's first meeting with Harris on Lost in Space, he said at age 5, he was too young to watch his mentor's show The Third Man which was probably late at night, but was old enough to watch The Bill Dana Show ( which also starred Harris's real-life best friend Don Adams ).
