Perhaps "remade" isn't the best word to describe what the team at Infamous Adventures has done to Sierra's 1987 classic Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge. "Lovingly rebuilt," perhaps, or "delicately hand-milled," if such a term can be considered applicable in a programming sense. (We've decided it can.)
Infamous Adventures' reproduction features "hand-drawn backgrounds, hand animated characters, a full voice pack featuring over 4,000 recorded lines and a whole lot of extras," according to the group's official website (http://www.infamous-adventures.com/home/index.php?page=view&topic=5016). We don't know what's more touching, the fact that a small group of people completely rejiggered a classic out of love for the original, or the fact that the fruits of their labor can be downloaded for free (http://www.infamous-adventures.com/home/index.php?page=sq2).
Watch those system requirements though, the PC version requires a whole meg of RAM. http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Space Quest II remade, rereleased for free (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/31/space-quest-ii-remade-rereleased-for-free/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:30:00 EST.
