Interesting Discovery Involving SQ1 EGA

Post by Fender_178 »

When I was watching a lets play of SQ1 EGA (AGI) and When the person got to the slot machine he was able to cheat at the slot machine like you are able to do in the VGA remake using the widget by typing holy shit and you can choose what the next roll is going to be.

I just thought this might help others like me who hated doing the slot machine and alot of head aches doing it. And also being an interesting piece of trivia.

Yup. I am you can see it being used here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXjNT8NrIh0

Just fast forward to around 6:09 of the video.

EDIT: I also tested it with one of my old saved games that I had lying around and it works.

Yep. It's also documented on SpaceQuest.Net. Apparently it only works in version 2.2, however.

Thanks for pointing that out MI that it only works in 2.2 like the Ken Williams Easter Egg thing only works in version 1.xx. Well if you have the 2nd Sq collection from 1997 then it should work with the version of SQ1 AGI that it comes with.
