    • It's really keen that even in the midst of sadness, Space Quest fans still work on various fan-projects. For instance, Mike the WaffleKing has created the first 2 parts of a pretty keen fan-fiction starring... No, not Roger Wilco... Fester Blatz!
    • Ya can snag 'em zipped in .DOC format, readable via Windows 95 WordPad right here.

    Here's the response I got from Craig Alexander about Space Quest 7's status:

    NEWS

    From: Craig Alexander

      "On-hold" does NOT mean canceled.

      The main reason is an economic one. Sales of the most recent Space Quest Collection have been extremely disappointing.

      Thank you for your interest. Your comments have a significant impact on our decision making process.

          Craig

    The letter to the Space Quest community telling about putting SQ7 on hold:

    From: Leslie Balfour

      To the Friends and Fans of Space Quest:

      As you all know, the path to Space Quest 7 has been long and bumpy, and we were never sure what we would find at the end of the road. The decision has been made, after much soul-searching and agonizing, to put Space Quest 7 on hold indefinitely.

      The joy for the team has been in the journey. We've made many friends out there, and it has been quite heartening to know that Roger Wilco has so many fans. I look forward to continuing the friendships I've developed over the last year. But Sierra is in the process of many changes, and we had to take a hard look at whether a Space Quest 7 project made sense. Unfortunately for those of us who love Roger and his stupid antics, other projects just have more to offer both to the company and to our customers in general at this time.

      Please don't worry about the team. We will all move to other projects at Sierra On-Line. Many of us will go over to the Babylon 5 space combat game, which will be coming out in Holiday 1998. Others will go over to the B5 adventure game, which will also come out in 1999. Both of these products will reflect Sierra's commitment to excellence in space games, and I hope you'll consider playing them if you have the opportunity.

      I am sending this email to those of you who have sent me mail lately. Please pass the information on to any Space Quest fans I inadvertently omitted.

      Finally, don't be sad for Roger. Just think of him as weary from making us laugh for all these years, ready for a break from his adventures. He and la Wankmeister want to settle down, raise a family. And perhaps as we look up in the sky, a distant star will remind us that somewhere, in a distant galaxy, Roger Wilco is probably getting pantsed.

        Thanks again for all your support,

          The Space Quest Team
          -Leslie Balfour
          -Scott Murphy
