Space Quest 2 Remake

[Jan 21, 2012, 5:27 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Infamous Adventures now offers their fan-created remake of Space Quest 2, which apparently was released for Windows and OS X a week ago. Since then the free game has been downloaded around 20,000 times, and a new patch is now available to update it to version 1.1. Word is: "This update fixes many of the bugs and issues people were having with the original release version. Perhaps the most significant update is that the game is now 32 bit instead of 16, which should address most video issues people were having with it." The patch is for Windows, and they also say they are working on an OS X patch.

WARNING!!!

Using the Space Quest 2 Uninstall utility will delete other program files!!!! The Uninstaller lists the files that are being deleted, and I watched in horror as Adobe, Microsoft, Steam, and other files were deleted. It was not just unused shared files that were deleted--I noticed that Steam data files for Left 4 Dead 2 were listed as being deleted. Sure enough, L4D2 is now corrupt and cannot be launched.

I don't like being Chicken Little in my first ever post to Blues News, but the SQ2 uninstaller is so damaging that I felt compelled to warn others.

Where did you install it to? I don't see any mention of it in the SQ2 forums on their site, so your issue may be unique. I'd shoot them a mail if I were you...
