History VideoGame / SpaceQuestIIVohaulsRevenge

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Oh, Vohaul. See, he bankrolls the Sariens last game so they could wreak havoc on his behalf with the stolen Star Generator. Wilco manages to survive the assault, stop the Sariens, blow up the Generator, and foul up the plan. Vohaul wants to make sure it doesn't happen again, so he sends the mooks to capture Wilco and kill him before he can screw things up...which leads to Wilco escaping via dumb luck, getting to Vohaul's base, and not just fouling up Vohaul's plans, but killing Vohaul! If Vohaul had just left Wilco alone, then the plan probably would have gone off without a hitch.

* SpeakFriendAndEnter: The Labion natives tell you to "say the word" when you're ready to leave for the next area. Three guesses what "the word" is.

* NotHisSled: [[spoiler:The vine maze in the remake requires a different solution, which thankfully is much more satisfying than "tiptoe around all the little vines"]].

* BridgeLogic: How you get across a chasm in ''Space Quest II''. It provides the page image.

** Vohaul's Guards on Labion look like they're from ''[[Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes]]''.

* ShoutOut: Several in the remake.

** The Film/{{Alien}} who will [[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong french-kiss]] you and give you death by ChestBurster. (Also present in the original)
** One of the graffiti messages will mention "Cyborg [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} Skwisgaar Skwigelf]]" stealing the writer's guitar strings.

** A new room in Vohaul's fortress is a small arcade, which includes an enhanced remake of ''[[GameWithinAGame Troll's Tale]]'', one of the earliest games from ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'' creator Creator/AlLowe.
** A post-credits scene involving the pink creatures found on Labion parodies the ending of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.

* BridgeLogic: How you get across a chasm in ''Space Quest II''.

* ColonyDrop: Roger causes one to happen with Vohaul's asteroid, as upon killing Vohaul, he decides to self-destruct his fortress, which sends it burning up in Labion's atmosphere. He does not stay to witness the full impact.

** In the end, Roger faces with Vohaul, and falls victim to CoolAndUnusualPunishment with the shrinking beam. However, this is exactly what does Vohaul in, when Roger is small enough to slip inside his life support system, and turn it off!

* BornLucky: Roger's only real claim to fame. He's unfortunate enough to get the attention of people with significantly more power and anger that want to make him suffer, but he's lucky enough to get a couple of breaks that let him turn things around and succeed, [[IneptHero in spite of himself]].

* BrainUpload: Is ultimately revealed in ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestIVRogerWilcoAndTheTimeRippers'' to have done this, backing up his mind as a crippling virus on ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'' disks, at some point before his fortress blew up.

* ChekhovsGun: The random crap in Roger's locker and pockets at the beginning of the game turns out to be pretty useful to surviving on a hostile jungle world.

* EscapePod: At the end. A crappy one which has barely enough oxygen for a few minutes, prompting Roger to opt for becoming a HumanPopsicle in order to survive.

* ItsPersonal: Invoked by Vohaul on Roger for thwarting his plans with the Sariens and the Star Generator.

* UndignifiedDeath: Many, many instances. Which the LemonyNarrator will not miss the opportunity to mock.

** A new room in Vohaul's fortress is a small arcade, which includes an enhanced remake of ''[[GameWithinAGame Troll's Tale]]'', one of the earliest games from ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'' creator Al Lowe.

* NoOSHACompliance: The game doesn't have any safety rails everywhere you go. This include your Orbital station, the shuttle launchpad and Vohaul's fortress. Justified in the last two as [[BigBad Vahaul]] has a complete disregard for the safety of his henchmen.

** The first possible death in the remake is to drift off into space; the death screen paraphrases Music/TomPetty.

** A new room in Vohaul's fortress is a small arcade, which includes an enhanced remake of ''[[GameWithinAGame Troll's Tale]]'', one of the earliest games from ''LeisureSuitLarry'' creator Al Lowe.

** In the teaser for a supposed remake of ''Space Quest III'' (which sadly never got made), one of the "strange worlds" Roger could visit is lifted directly from ''[[VideoGame/{{Manhunter}} Manhunter 2: San Francisco]]'' with updated graphics.

* MythologyGag: In the FanRemake, you get to pick up a piece of unstable ordnance, and to use it. [[spoiler: You also stuff it in a skewered rabbit-like creature's cadaver, and feed it to that annoying root monster to get rid of it. This is further hilarious because VideoGame/SpaceQuestIV fans tried doing this to the Energizer Bunny, to no avail, since only the battery goes in there.]]
