So, I was puttering about, looking for something to do and came across the Space Quest collection on Steam.
Now, I love me a good adventure game, but I fully admit to (I don't think) never having heard of this one.
Is it worth the 15 buckaroos? Is it even worth 10? If it's worth 10 I might be willing to fork over the extra 5 just for a good adventure game.
Any ideas?
Also: It seems I can take care of two birds with one stone.
Does anyone know of anywhere besides Amazon to buy old Infinity Engine games? Preferably digitally, but eh.
Thanks on both of these.

Yes it is worth every buckazoid. I probably wouldn't be the best person to ask about Sierra games since I'm a fan.

Space Quest is a pretty irregular saga. SQ 1, 2 and 3 are meh. SQ 4 and 5 are OK. I have no idea about the others, but I would't give steam any money for those games.

If the pack is the same as the one sold in the shops then EGA version of the 1st game is not included. It's the same with the others as well (Kings Quest, Police Quest & Leisure Suit Larry).

Space Quest is a great game series, methinks, and well worth the money. They are a different kind of adventure games than those of LucasArts - you will need a lot more patience, perseverance, and forgiveness if you want to get anywhere, and you really ought to have a notebook at your side at all times. The earlier games in particular make no concessions to the player; if you want to succeed in Space Quest I and II, you had better be prepared to work for it. In my opinion, it is worth the trouble though; the writing is excellent, and the zany humour is in a class of its own - it isn't for everyone, but I know I loved it. It is still fun to play through it time and again, though the latter IV, V, and VI have definitely become my favourite episodes in the series - in particular number V, which made up for its lack of voice acting and production values with some truly great adventuring, accompanied with a superb parody of Star Trek.
BUT: I wouldn't touch the Steam version if I were you. This is the same release as the one Vivendi put out on CD back in '06; it uses an outdated DosBox with horrible config settings. There is timing issues, sound issues, and stability issues all over the place. It is the worst DosBox job I have ever seen, and is not representative to the classic greatness that is Space Quest. The same goes for the Kings Quest collection, and the same will probably be true to Leisure Suit Larry and Police Quest, if those collections make it to Steam as well.
There is a fanmade patch out there that can fix all those problems, but it can interfere with the Steam DRM, so to be on the safe side, I would hold out until these games comes to GOG and are given a proper treatment.

Indeed? Well then, I'll do just that.
Thanks everyone for the advice.

E-mail me and I will tell you where you can get it.
