Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon/Monolith Burger

Monolith Burger


This section is relatively easy, yet it contains that "Astral Chicken" minigame, which you should complete, if you want the full score, or if you want bragging rights. Walk one screen to the left, and walk up to the alien food clerk. Order food. Get Monolith Fun Meal (7) (although here it does not quite matter what you order, provided that the order includes the Fun Meal). [10] Pay. Walk to an empty table, and Roger will sit down. Eat food. You will get a sweet decoder ring from your Fun Meal. [10]

Get up and walk to the arcade machine. Look at the screen and insert buckazoid. You are about to play Astral Chicken: an inter-galactic arcade nightmare. The point of the game is to land the chickens on the big platform with the letter "A" on it. You press up to toggle flaps, and left/right/down to control your chicken. Upon a safe landing, the chicken goes Bacock! and you keep going until you land 10 chickens. [50] You will know when to stop once you see a long message comprised mainly of garbage. [50] Use the decoder ring to decode the message. [20] Although it may appear like a lot of work at first, most of the symbols involved resemble english letters. With a little adjustment you can read the text that states that Two Guys from Andromeda were kidnapped by Scumsoft, and are being held captive on Pestulon, which is hidden by a massive shield, the origins of which are unknown. Return to your ship and get ready to save the Two Guys from Sierra. Set your course to the hot planet of Ortega as you have done previously, and select Light Speed for a quick trip.
