The Sarien Encounter is the first in the Space Quest Series. The game starts out with you, Roger Wilco, who just happens to be a janitor taking an on-shift nap aboard the space ship Arcada. The ship is returning home when it is attacked by the viscous Sariens. The game consists of three basic sections. The first is escaping the Arcada. The second is surviving and leaving Kerona. The third and final section is entering the Sariens' Battle Cruiser called Deltaur and destroying the Star Generator.

This is the VGA remake to the best-selling Space Quest 1: The Sarien Encounter. Much like the original you control a single character (Roger Wilco), but instead of using typed commands to get him to perform actions, you use the updated icon system (ie. walk, talk, look... etc). Also changed were an updated graphics system (about the same as space quest 4), soundblaster support, and some small puzzle changes.

One of the great things about this game is that there are many ways to solve the puzzles. Each will result in a different score. So the first time you play it you might not get the full amount of points, which makes you want to play it again until you figure out all the solutions. It is definitely a worthy remake of a game that was loved by many.
