SpaceQuest.Net - The Ultimate Space Quest Fansite!

Description

About this Website > The page contains a small SQ-biography about your lovely webmaster. But probably far more important and interesting; read how SpaceQuest.Net improved throughout the years!

Hello everybody! Thanks for visiting my website; the last active Space Quest fansites out there. Let me introduce myself. My name is Frans van Hofwegen (22 years old). I live in the fine, but boring, town of Nijmegen in the Netherlands close to the German borders. Let me tell you how I bummed into Sierra and their great games.

My dad bought our first computer (a 80286 with an ega card and colour monitor) back in 1988. My three brothers and I spent many hours on this machine, doing nothing more than staring at the screen and pushing those buttons. We played games like Paratrooper, Alley Cat and King's Quest 3. But I really liked one particular game that came with the computer namely "Space Quest Chapter I: The Sarien Encounter". Back then, I was five years old and didn't understand much English. It was my two older brothers who helped Roger through his first adventure and it took them months. But I was right there with them when they played, watching their progress on the Arcada. I didn't understood anything of the texts but the pictures sure looked neat. It must have been that "X-factor" Sierra games had at the time, but that game fascinated me somehow. I wanted to play my own Space Quest, so whenever the computer was free (rare occasion) I would enter the same words as my brothers did, with a dictionary as my only help.
