Space
Quest 3 Plot Inconsistencies
Roger
is pursued by a bill collector from Gippazoid Novelty Company (Arnoid)
demanding he pays for that Labion Terror Beast Mating Call Whistle
he ordered back in Space Quest 2. However, if you examine the order
form in Space Quest 2, it says the whistle is free. Scott Murphy
blushes: "Mark and I both missed it. I hadn't a clue until
I read it here. I don't think either of us thought that if you actually
bought this game, you'd be looking that closely."
The
cryo chamber at the end of Space Quest 2 seems to have a strange
effect on boots. When Roger climbs into the chamber his boots are
purple, but when he emerges again in Space Quest 3 they've suddenly
become black. To add even more confusion, in Space Quest 3 many
views show a small Roger with purple boots. The big question remains;
does Roger have two pair of boots in SQ3, or did the Two Guys simply
mess up (again)? It is believed the boots were originally meant
to be purple, but the Two Guys had to change it later on because
of Phleebhut's purple sand. The small animations of Roger were left
untouched, with the original purple boots as a result. This will
never do.
When
fighting Elmo in the Nukem Dukem robots, you can walk around him
so that you're standing right and he is standing left. You can then
force him to the wall and defeat him. When you do, he'll smash a
hole in the left side of the arena but when you escape with the
Two Guys to your ship, the hole of the next screen is on the left
side too, which doesn't make sense. Click here
and here
for two screen shots. Beating Elmo is much harder when he's on the
left side of the screen.
When
disguised as the Scumsoft janitor, if you walk out onto the platform
and see the Aluminum Mallard, it shows Roger in his normal lavander
and grey space janitor threads, even though he's in the Scumsoft
janitor outfit! Unless he has the power to change his clothes in
the half second it takes to switch the screen, the two Guys goofed
up! Take a look at this
screenshot for proof.
