Review: Roger Wilco, the unbeatable space janitor is back in business in the third Space Quest called "The Pirates of Pestulon".
A small escape pod is floating through the endless universe. Suddenly your escape craft is towed to a huge space junk freighter - this is the point where you take the control.
Your first task is to escape from the freighter and then you have to rescue the Two Guys from Andromeda, who are being held on the planet owned by the ScumSoft Corporation. The cyborg assasin which is sent to hunt you down doesn't make your mission easier.

The game is pretty much the same as Space Quests 1 and 2 - humorous space adventure with a good plot.
But of course there's also something new - the first thing you'll probably notice is the better graphics: Space Quest 3 supports VGA with 16 colors. Sierra has also added soundcard support (for at least Soundblasters and Adlib cards).
The Game's control system has also been upgraded - now you can also control Roger with mouse or joystick. The parser interface still remains in Space Quest 3 but it's boosted with some new commands.

If you've played previous Space Quests, then this is a Must download for you. Other people should probably play through Space Quests 1 and 2 first. But on the other hand, Space Quest 3 is one of the easiest games in the Space Quest serie.
