[edit] General Information

Alternative name: Innerspace

SQ6 was released in 1995 and ran on the last version of the SCI engine, SCI32. This allowed it to use SuperVGA graphics at a 640x480 resolution with 256 colors. It abandoned the tradition of other SCI games by not having the interface in a pull down bar at the top of the screen; instead it resorted to a verb bar window along the bottom of the game, like LucasArts' SCUMM games. The graphics style also changed to be more cartoon-like in appearance than in previous games. It was the last to be officially released in the SQ series.

In a reality alternate to ours, Roger doesn't automatically pick up Circuit Sidney's arm...and if you don't make him, he says this (DS86, 8-Rear).

"Dr. Beleauxs is fortunately able..." (info)
Gary Owens didn't really need to reuse this line...but it's in the resource file, what can I say?

"I want to try that one again, though..." (info)
William Hall (Roger's voice actor) reminds us that he is only human.

The first line is used in the game...but the second one wasn't...and it sure should've been, darn it! (Stellar's body, appendix)

Dorff in one of his "surfer dude" moments.

Kielbasa doing his Jebba the Hop imitation, and making a major whoopsie in his message for Roger. Listen carefully. (DS86, Roger's Quarters)

A hilarious description of the overhead light at the Mr. Soylent, which was strangely cut from the game.

"Oww! That's a pain that's gonna linger." (info)
Another death message voiceover by Roger. Back from the dead? (SQ6 demo, ??)

"You've arrived at the nose..." (info)
Some narration that really wasn't needed...for several reasons. (Stellar's body, nose)

"Geez...she's old-looking..." (info)
We might've gotten this message if we used the EYES cursor on Sharpei. But the Fates didn't smile upon us this time...

Another variation on Roger's escape. Yes, I know it's strange.

"Geez...this feels weird." (info)
A cute bit of wordplay, can't imagine why this was cut (Stellar's body, meninges)
