Rocket Bar

From Space Quest Omnipedia

It appears that unknown bandits have had their way with the bar's exterior.

The Rocket Bar (also known simply as the BAR or The Oasis according to some of its coupons) in Ulence Flats is the only bar on Kerona, and the only place to legally serve genuine Keronian Ale. This bar is known as the Rocket Bar and is one of 2000 in a chain of bars. The bar on Kerona has seating for five, and the bartender apparently lives in-house. Maintenance is entirely filled by a lone cleaning droid, and the bar is frequented by some rather popular entertainment. A slot machine is also provided, courtesy of Gippazoid Novelty Company.

Roger Wilco visited here on two occasions. Tempted to the place by a free coupon worth 5 Buckazoids and a Keronian Ale, he was tempted into playing the slot machine (until he broke it), giving him enough money to buy a ship and a droid. He was also able to overhear the location of the Sarien ship carrying the Star Generator.

Roger's second visit was during his time-travel experience in Space Quest IV. During that visit he noted that the world seemed different to him, and that things looked flat and not as detailed as he remembered the first time visiting the world. He assumed that it was one of the affects of his repeated time travel. He noticed strange banner on the horizon welcoming him to Space Quest I: The Sarian Encounter (original version). He wondered what it meant by original version but turned his attention to his surroundings.[1] He was able to take a book of matches from the bar, but he also had a run-in with the Monochrome Boys.

[edit] Plot Inconsistency

The bar in Ulence Flats is called simply "BAR" in the ega version, and "The Oasis" according to the coupons packed in the game and in the remake it's called "Rocket Bar". According to the first issue of the Space Quest comic it's sign listed it as Tiggy's, the sign became the Rocket Bar in the second issue (though Roger still calls it Tiggy's).

Those aren't clouds.
