'''Space Quest III''' is a graphical adventure. It is one of the last of Sierra's releases to use a text parser for character control. Its technical innovations rely on beautifully detailed background art (a remarkable achievement for 16-color palette with "primitive" 320x200 screen resolution). The game features support for Roland MT-32 External Sound module, along with support for Sound Blaster and AdLib and features an extensive soundtrack. More notably, innovations in the game design provide more open-ended gameplay, especially when compared the game's contemporaries. Arguably its biggest and most overlooked contribution is thought-through approach to puzzle solving, enabling the player to use similar (but different) items to solve a puzzle. | '''Space Quest III''' is a graphical adventure.
