Which Space Quest 1 cover is your favorite...

In Space No One Can Hear You Clean, er, Scream. But if you post in this forum about Space Quest - someone's sure to hear you. I think. Try it, anyway!

You don't have the best one shown, the black cover with the grid lines.

Oh? I was on MobyGames grabbing covers. I don't think they have it listed, unless I zipped past it.

Got a copy of the cover?

Going by the ones here... I'm kind of one the fence. #4 is too... clean. Very minimalist. It doesn't quite capture the spirit of SQ. I'm not sure about #2. It does show you what the game is going to be like, but I don't know. It just doesn't work for me. Maybe it's a bit to obvious. #1 and #3 are functionally similar. I think I like these the best. The lettering and the space ship look like cheaply made models. Kind of what they were doing in MST3K. The composition of #3 is better with larger "Chapter 1 The Sarien Encounter". So I'm going with #3.

Oh that might have been on there. I can't see the grid lines until I click the image to full size.
