Space
Quest 1 Plot Inconsistencies EGA version
When
you broke the slot machine in the Ulence Flats bar, a message says
that the Gippazoid Novelty Company would pay you back. Why would
they pay you back something you've demolished?
The
droid at Deltaur's weapons dispensary says "silly human",
but Roger is dressed in a Sarien uniform and the guards aboard the
ship recognizes him as a Sarien. But everybody knows the human race
is always used in the Space Quest Universe to insult each other.
The
address of the Gippazoid Novelty Company in SQ1 differs from the
one written in the SQ2 "Space Piston" manual. A minor
whoopsie. According to Scott Murphy, "Gippazoid simply got
bigger and had to relocate for more office space."

Quest 1 Plot Inconsistencies VGA version
The
planet Kerona is stated to have only one settlement, which is Ulence
Flats (the Keronian underground city is obviously not a "known
settlement"). However, when looking at the mountains in Ulence
Flats, you're told about a place called "Yomammy National Park
(a spoof on the Yosemite National Park, which lies in close proximity
to the former Sierra Oakhurst building).
The
manual
is messing up the meaning of the words: "sun", "galaxy"
and "solar system". According to the manual, Earnon is
a galaxy. But later on, it's made clear that the "sun"
of Earnon is dying. AND, it describes Earnon as an "old system".
The manual is actually talking about the "solar system"
Earnon, which contains a planet called "Xenon". A galaxy
contains billions of stars, not one. A solar system, however, contains
one star only. To put even more weight on this statement, the EGA
manual says: "Far beyond the reaches of known space lies a
planetary system known to its inhabitants as Earnon".
Also, the word "sun" is the name of our star, which planet
Earth is orbiting. The manual should have said "star".
The
bar in Ulence Flats is called "The Oasis Bar" in the ega
version (according to the coupons) and in the remake it's called
"Rocket Bar".
