The Wating Game....Have you ever played it ?
Thanks for the update in the designer journals!
They certainly keep us (Your Fans & Free Loading Game Players)
going in the wait for QFG2.
There has certainly been a lot of moaning on your forums over
the last few months about it's delivery into free loading game
players hot little hands.
Even i made a mention of wanting to see a Demo.
(Which i still think is a great idea by the way)
But so long as you keep those updates coming, even if it's just a few lines
here and there, Fans & FLGP's alike will continue to flock your website
until it's done.
In fact i bet you could even set up a donation page, if you offered
an early unfinished version of the game to donors...
(Well Maybe not)
Anyway enough about QFG2, i was reading the other day on your
forum that there had been some Alpha Art for a Space Quest 2 Remake,
It was all for the purpose of testing abilities of budding background artists
to get that VGA / Sierra Style.
I think it was some time back that this all happened
(Maybe 2 years ago) and i was wondering if anything ever happened with it,
did someone have a crack at making a game etc...
I think one team may have put their hand up but it looks like they
may have dropped out of the race....
It would seem a shame to see all that work go to waste, especially
if a lot of the backgrounds where finished or near completion.
I think it would be awesome if someone set up a repository for the back
ground at AGS or at AGDI so that some future developer could have ago
at putting it all together.
It would probably only take a few months to do, being mostly the sprite work,
scripting and sound and being that it was a small and linear game
it probably wouldn't be too hard get off the ground..
(In saying that, i have never programmed or done any sprite work,
i make these assumptions based on people who have experience
and it would probably take me years if i did it etc..)
Any legends out there who want to see the SQ2 VGA,
on the way ? or know of anyone who has taken up the challenge ?

Space Quest
I've been on the look out for a SQ2 and 3 VGA also. I'm not sure if you may or may not be aware of all of the following, but just in case.... There was a SQ3VGA in the works but I don't know if the project was dropped or not. Doesn't look like there's been an update for awhile but:
http://sq3vga.by.ru/ was the site. There was also a SQ1 Doom 3 mod in the works but alas it was cancelled. There was a mini demo and some screenshots though. The ex-project can be found here http://game.rbkdesign.com/sq1/ . Also, there are currently 2 fan games in the works that I'm aware of. SQ7 at www.sq7.org as well as Vohaul Strikes Back at www.vohaulstrikesback.com/ . And 2 fan games were created using the original EGA "typing interface" Space Quest 0 and "The Lost Chapter" were created and more info can be found here:
http://www.spacequest.net/misc/fanfiction/fangames/
There's also a fan game called "Vohauls mines" that is an alternate path from sq2. More info can be found here:
http://www.vohauls-mines.com/ it's based on SQ2 and I think they've actually switched over to VGA. If you know of any additional SpaceQuest or any Sierra/Lucasarts etc adventure game projects, whether current, cancelled or completed, please lemme know, I'd be pretty interested

And If all i see is smoke, does that mean there's fire?
.......
Hey i know of a Space Quest Game too,
although it's been around for a while and it's kind of old
and has these really dated graphics which could really use an
overhaul...hey wait a minute where not talking about the same
game are we ?
+ Why is the IA Web site currently offline ?
Indeed!I know of a Space Quest game.
