Two Guys Are Back! SPACEVENTURE!

Yes, it will update automatically. Game has some new enhancements in it. So if ye played it before ye may notice small trivial things changed.

Or I have since I played it like 10,000 times during the Alpha/Beta phase. lol

I've been working through the game the last couple of days. It's pretty fun. A decent amount of challenge to it. Switching between Ace and Rooter is kind of cool. I'm at the junkyard putting the ship together. Lots of fun '80s Easter Eggs: Soundwave, Robotech helmets, and I think what might be the helmet from Grandizer.

Downstairs in the garage has some of those Easter eggs. Upstairs also has more little nods.

Even in the junk yard... there's things. It's funny because I didn't notice it first. And during testing asked, "Why don't you put XYZ here?" And Mark said, "It is. Look closer."

And then I could see it.

It's most noticeable with Rooter. Being vague because I don't want to spoil things with the Junkyard if you've not done certain things. Although if you're piecing the ship together, it means ye have already used Rooter at least once to dig through the junk yard.

I must have missed that. I heard the story about the cartridges. That's pretty funny.

Just got back from the bar. I saw your name! Space Quest Historian was also there.

You really have to look at the cartridges as Rooter is moving through the junk. It's really hard to see, but it's super pixelated, but you can see the silver cartridges pretty clearly once you know what it's supposed to be.

Woot woot! Name will reappear later in the credits too!

It does? Maybe I'm stupid or something, but whenever I try to go downstairs, the mechanic (I forget his name -- Pop?) shoos me away and says something like "I gotta lotta work to do! And so do you, fixin' yer ship an' all!"

So when can you actually go downstairs?

[notbobsmith]

So quick question: I have the ship and am going to the Two Guys in the place with all of the domes (I forgot the name). Is there a way to figure out which dome is theirs? There's an option to skip, but if there's a way to find theirs, I'd prefer to do it that way. They all look the same and I couldn't find any clues to which one it is supposed to be.

Yes. So if you fly around (it might even be easier to blast any asteroids in the area to increase visibility as it may be right behind one) - look for one of the domes that has a lot of ... things flamencos floating around outside of it... and an odd misty color around it...

So not that downstairs. You land in the docking bay. And you can go upstairs from there. I was referring to the docking bay (because if you go upstairs on the wall and around that whole first room, there's a number of nods to things).

[Rath Darkblade]

Thanks! I'll take a look ... but, wait a minute. I think I'd already seen this?

Is this Nurb's Landing, with the fun ads and references in the bar (like Buttweider etc., and Barf from Spaceballs)?

This is a little strange. I still can't find the dome when I first arrive, but if I press "Skip" and then leave the dome and return again, I see what you mentioned and can dock without any problems. I wonder if this is bugged.

I will try to make some time this weekend to play through... but, did you blast the thing I mentioned? Because I think it's hidden behind it? I think you can still get there without blasting said thing...

Got to the Chuck Yegger mini-game. I saw the "Available on Steam" icon and thought it was a joke at first, but I guess it was a game they released in 2015 and included here. I wish there was a way to complete it in more than one sitting. It's actually pretty tricky and I'm trying to get the "3 days" achievement. It might be bugged a little bit, too. The camera to one of the corridors will show a random location instead.

Got to the Chuck Yegger mini-game.

This was the ONLY thing I did not test. I left that to the others. Not a fan of the Five Nights of Freddy which it's based off of.

I've never actually played that game. I'm familiar with it and more or less familiar with the premise (trapped in a Chuck E. Cheese type place where the animatronics come to life), but I didn't know that this was how the gameplay worked.
