I'm gonna tell my kid The Amazing Digital Circus is a sequel to Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller.

A very dodgy-looking mid-1990s 3D model of Dennis Hopper.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Jul 10

Hmm, maybe. But all the light reflections, shiny layers, stripy textures, etc. give me Interplay jank vibes. Also, the Circus (or at least Caine) was created in 1996, which seems a little early for this kind of graphics?

Screenshot of a computer screen readout (from episode 8) showing the Digital Circus first being created on October 15, 1996.

😳😳😳 (via @shdon.com)

Fun fact: there are an estimated 44 million penguins in Antarctica. Malta has a population of roughly 550,000. So, if Antarctica ever invades Malta, every single Maltese person would have to fight 80 penguins.

(A picture of two penguins from the Madagascar movie slap-fighting.)

Starting now: The Housewarming Party of the new SQH Minecraft server. Let's see what people have built this past week. I hear there's gonna be some wild shit. Watch: twitch.tv/spacequest... • youtube.com/spaceque...

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Jun 23

Forget that. What is this pixel?

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Jun 18

That's right, we're playing Freddi Fish, motherfuckers! LIVE NOW. twitch.tv/spacequest... • youtube.com/spaceque...

A happy yellow fish next to a brightly colored title: "Freddi Fish - The Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds."

Who would ever look at this notification and think, "Wow, that sounds absolutely fantastic"? Fuck all of the way off, Chrome. The only reason I still keep your ass around is because LibreWolf and Ironfox are sometimes TOO GOOD at keeping out intrusive bullshit. (Webdevs, get your shit together.)

A desktop notification from Google Chrome that reads: "The browser with Google AI buitl in. AI in Chrome helps make the web faster, safer, and more accessible." Two buttons underneath are "Open Chrome" and "Dismiss."

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Jun 11

I'll be streaming the Under A Killing Moon Rising alpha build this evening (along with my 7th Guest Remake ending). Look at yer boi gettin' exclusives! 🤣 Circa 9 PM CET on le Twitchies and le 'Tubies: twitch.tv/spacequesthi... youtube.com/spacequesthi...

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Jun 10

Gonna do a short little catch-up stream with The 7th Guest Remake and giggle at some cornball acting. Usual places: twitch.tv/spacequest... youtube.com/spaceque...

The 6 ghostly guests sitting around the library accusing each other.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Jun 9

I got mine, too. The quality is really nice and the booklet came out looking super well. A really great souvenir from a really great evening.

My copy of the Error 47 live album on my shelf.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Jun 5

I'm gonna give 7th Guest Non-VR another shot this evening, 'cos... well, I wanna see that soup. twitch.tv/spacequest... / youtube.com/spaceque...

Julia Heine in the kitchen with the soup cauldron. Mmm, good soup.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Jun 4

Fuck yeah, the non-VR version of the 7th Guest remake is out. Let's give it a whirl, shall we? The usual places: twitch.tv/spacequest... youtube.com/spaceque...

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Jun 2

This thing already slammed through its funding goal. Amazing.

A screenshot of the Kickstarter banner showing the current backing amount of $68,913 USD against a $50,000 USD goal.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· May 23

Yup, we're back with more Monkey-Island-meets-Broken-Sword this evening. Usual places: twitch.tv/spacequest... youtube.com/spaceque...

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· May 20

Gonna play the EARTH MUST DIE demo tonight because this Steam disclaimer sounds right up my alley. Usual places: Twitch: twitch.tv/spacequest... YouTube: youtube.com/spaceque...

Mature Content Description. The developers describe the content like this:

As you travel through space, several people will die - these deaths will be depicted with cartoonish blood, guts, and gore, or will be comedic in tone.

In the throne room, you'll find the walls decorated with statues, complete with comedy alien penises.

To complete puzzles, you'll also have to navigate an alien sex shop, which comes with some sexual paraphernalia and moaning noises.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· May 18

Streaming a few random games this evening, including a text parser game that promises a "fuck with" command. Usual places: twitch.tv/spacequest... youtube.com/spaceque...

SQH looking mock-determined, standing with hand-on-heart in front of an orange/yellow sunset-ish graphic. Text reads: "The livestreams will continue until morale improves."

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· May 10

Gonna play a bit of a game that was sent to me back in Dec. last year: The End of the Sun. Apparently we get to set fire to shit. Usual places: twitch.tv/spacequest... youtube.com/spaceque...

Cover artwork for The End of the Sun featuring an old dude with a stick wearing a robe and waving his hand enigmatically at something.

Thanks, YouTube, I hate it.

An AI chat window in YouTube Studio called "Ask YouTube." It claims it can "summarize comments" and "suggest new video ideas." A blinking prompt awaits my input.

I ask the AI to "disable the Ask Studio functionality and remove the icon entirely." The AI responds with: "Something went wrong. Please try again."

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Apr 13

Gonna monkey around a bit with Innocent Until Caught this evening. I'll try out the Amiga version and see if I can record & import the music from the PC version for... purposes. 😏 Join me and be frightfully bored. Twitch: twitch.tv/spacequest... YouTube: youtube.com/spaceque...

A picture of the boxed copy of the Amiga version of Innocent Until Caught with all the disks laid out in front of the box and the manuals off to the side.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Apr 10

I am nothing if not inconsistent. Fuck it. Let's finish this garbage. Twitch: twitch.tv/spacequest... YouTube: youtube.com/spaceque...

The main character from Innocent Until Caught with badly drawn googly eyes, a dribbling tongue, and an arrow stuck through the forehead. Text reads, "Pisshead" with an arrow pointing toward the character.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Apr 8

No stream today or tomorrow, I'm afraid. But I should be back on my bullshit with Innocent Until Caught's bullshit on Friday, if all goes well. I still refuse to keep a "stream schedule" 'cos I know it'll end up stressing me out. But... 👇

A mock propaganda poster of me looking determined with my fist on my heart against a sunburst background. A large caption reads, "The livestreams will continue until morale improves."

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Apr 8

Difference is The Strokes sucked.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Apr 7

The good news is we got digital sound effects working in Innocent Until Caught! The bad news is... well... you'll never guess. Twitch: twitch.tv/spacequest... YouTube: youtube.com/spaceque...

A bad MS Paint edit of Jack T. Ladd from the Innocent Until Caught box cover. Two googly eyes have been drawn on him with the pupils facing the other direction. Text (in poor lettering) reads, "INNØCÆNT UNTÆL PÖÖP LOL FU" with an arrow pointing towards Jack.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Apr 6

The livestreams will continue until morale improves! Going live now with Innocent Until Caught, a game that seems to very much wish it was Space Quest but quite clearly isn't. Twitch: twitch.tv/spacequest... YouTube: youtube.com/spaceque...

The front cover of Innocent Until Caught featuring a badly drawn shifty-eyed dude looking shifty.

A warning to anyone who still wants to play/stream Maize: The stock music they used for the dance scene will get you copyright flagged. I guess that whole 3 hour playthrough video I did, of which their music is played for less than 2 minutes, was all for them. Fix your shit, YouTube.

An email from YouTube saying that my appeal against the copyright claim on my video has been reviewed by the claimant and they have decided they'd rather take my money than respect Fair Use.

A scene from the game where a large stalk of menacing corn and three scarecrows intimidate you on a dance floor.

A bit of casual streaming this evening. A short indie horror game with a unique visual style called The Music Machine. Twitch: twitch.tv/spacequest... YouTube: youtube.com/spaceque...

A stylized monochromatic shot of a church.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Mar 31

I wish people would stop leaving me requests or recommendations for games to "do." I know that probably sounds ungrateful, but it's not like I'll be running out of games to cover anytime soon, and the only way for me to stay motivated is to do what I want when I want.

You love old insanely difficult games, have you checked out the game The Space Bar? First person, ball bustingly difficult, filled with logic beyond moon logic. I don't think much of anyone has done videos on it.

I do not know if I ever asked this, but would you consider doing "Gold Rush"? [And then some blah-blah about why it's bad]

Loving your videos. If you haven't, please do the Hugo games. (Not sierra)

Is Return to Zork on the radar at all? That seems like ideal fodder for this super-rad channel I just happily discovered.

Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian· Mar 28

Accidentally clicked the "Inspiration" (a.k.a. AI-generated garbage ideas) tab in YouTube Studio, only to see @technocratgames.bsky.social's game getting dunked on.
