New Adventure Game Project In the Works from Space Quest Creators

The Two Guys From Andromeda – otherwise known as Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy – were the two people who created the beloved Sierra Space Quest Adventure Game series back in the eighties.

These comedy science fiction games were a huge success and there were six games released in the series in total. The two guys – who actually appeared in-game as their Alien counterparts – haven’t been making games for around two Decades now, but due to huge fan feedback and continuing interest in their work, the pair have announced they are working on a new Science Fiction Adventure Game together – the Two Guys Spaceventure!

The project was announced with a video, which you can view below, and has since been followed by anohter – which announced the involvement of fan-favourite Space Quest Narrator Gary Owens to the new project. Little else has been made clear, and Space Quest Hero Roger Wilco is unlikely to feature – but the pair have promised more updates to follow soon. With all of the re-imaginings of old Adventure titles, this is really a golden time to be a fan of the genre, after so many lean years.

This is what the pair had to say about the new project:

Our philosophy was originally to make games that we would like to play and that, ultimately, you would as well. We aren’t straying from what has been a successful formula. We’re back to make more while also incorporating what we’ve learned from you via comments made from the days of snail-mail and moving to email and social media. It’s been interesting to learn what you’ve found fun, funny and/or annoying, and what games you’ve favored. Clearly, not everyone has well rated taste but we can work around that.

The way games are made and gotten into a player’s home has changed greatly, and you have never stopped talking about the adventure game genre and how much you’ve missed it. We are adapting to the changes, taking advantage of them and charting our own course through space and looking forward to finding that ‘new game smell’.

We have fan encouragement, you loyal fans who have kept the legacy of our work alive. We appreciate the many fan sites, fan games and stories, game homage’s and remakes, but probably the best part of the past has been directly related to some very enjoyable, interesting and inspiring email. Thank you for sharing your stories with us about what the games meant to you from whether you enjoyed them (or not) and which puzzle(s) made you mad, to who you used to play them with.
