Space Quest 1 (the way it was played)
For the folks out there who remembers Space Quest (i.e. everyone except THE_STIG), here's a rather entertaining video on how the game was typically played.
I'll admit that I also played it like this. I was only 7 at the time though, and it took me several months just to figure out how to get off the ship...

Had a friend who played it from a tape drive on a green monochrome screen.

Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers
Main article: Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers
Released in 1991; in this installment, Roger embarks on a wacky time-travel adventure through Space Quest games both past and future. A reborn Sludge Vohaul from Space Quest XII chases Roger through time in an attempt to finally kill him. Roger also visits Space Quest X: Latex Babes of Estros (whose title is a parody of Infocom's game Leather Goddesses of Phobos) and Space Quest I; in the latter, the graphics and music revert to the style of the original game and Roger is threatened by a group of monochromatic bikers who consider Roger's 256 colors pretentious (or comment on other graphics modes if played in EGA or Monochrome).
was the best one for me...

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Which one was the one that started you with the broom out in space and if you walk inside the ship and sit on the chair the game was won?
