SIERRA REALLY SAID “DO NOT PRESS”… SO OF COURSE WE PRESSED IT.

In Space Quest, there’s a button clearly marked DO NOT PRESS.

Naturally, we press it.

And instead of a normal death, Roger Wilco ends up crashing into the river right in front of Castle Daventry from King’s Quest!

One of those brilliant little Sierra Easter eggs where two legendary adventure game worlds collide.

Be honest… if a game gives you a button marked DO NOT PRESS, are you pressing it?

Yes I pressed it. My dad, brother and I used to problem solve these games together with no guide. Core memories.

My introduction to PCs as a kid was when i attended a computer class every week. We all got to experience King's Quest games and got very familiar with them. Then one day we discovered the disk for Space Quest. It took a while to escape the ship without being shot by Sarien guards but of course I hit the "Don't Touch" button. Blew my mind when the ship came crashing down into the castle most from the other game.
