Voice acting in Space Quest V

This is illegal in Tennessee. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;ELVIS_Act" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;ELVIS_Act</a><p>Possibly more places, I don&#x27;t feel like figuring out the current state of laws against using AI to clone voices.

Oh wow this immediately sent me back, haven&#x27;t thought about this game in decades. The room I played it in, the computer (486&#x2F;33 w&#x2F;8mb ram?) the friend I learned about it from (terrible friend in retrospect, for unrelated reasons). Generally just loving the humor and ridiculousness of it. Definite Monkey Island vibes. Thank you for the trip down memory lane, felt good to have some reminders of the positive things from of that time in my life.

I absolutely love this game. Probably my favorite of the series, immediately followed by Space Quest IV (the CD-ROM talkie version).

&gt; Timing bug fixes<p>&gt; Added Wait(1) to EVA pod minigame to limit FPS to 60 to prevent issues at higher cycle rates. The thrust level&#x27;s doit method appears to be polled every possible cycle. (FloatObj)<p>When I originally played this (on a 16Mhz Mac LC) the quicktime events were all trivially easy because the game didn&#x27;t adjust for the framerate. I guess this bites the other way when you run it on a modern machine.

I tuned in because as a kid i loved those sierra adventures. At first the voiceover sounded pretty good but within a few sentences i noticed something strange and it dawned on me this was AI generated. Considering voiceovers are a big thing for the adventure game community- usually requiring financial backing of some sort- i wonder…<p>Are peolple asking for voiceovers simply because they can‘t be bothered to read or do we knowingly or unknowingly expect more than that?

Has it already been taken down? I get a 404 when I visit

Since this is not commercial, how does it interact with California AB 2602?

This is great! I played nearly all the Sierra games when I was a kid and currently showing playing them with my wife. The CD talkie versions are much easier to play together though so this is perfect!

Spqce Quest 5 is the only one I go back to. It’s funny, has well-written and memorable characters (for Space Quest), there are few unwinnable situations, and the puzzles rely mostly on human rather than adventure game logic.<p>On the other hand, it feels like the studio ran out of money while making it. There’s a ton of planets in the game you never visit, it’s not a talkie even though the game before was, and one of the last things you do in the game is a huge trial-and-error maze that is 100% pure padding.

404 now

This brought memories. I think I’ll play some Space Quest now.<p>Oh wait, can this be played in SCUMM VM?

Oh my god, I need to play SQ6 again
