Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy, the original creators of Space Quest, have reunited after 25+ years and are creating a new space-themed adventure game.

Crowe and Murphy, aka ‘The Two Guys from Andromeda’, recently stated on their website that they are “ludicrously psyched to be working together again.” They went on to write “we have some real…, stuff to share, incorporating that same style of comedy, wonder and excellence you expect from a Two Guys adventure.”

The pair have appeared in a video (above), revealing their plans for the project and the future, thanking fans for their continued support and working those Andromedan noses.

Expect more details soon.

Fan remakes of adventure games were a big thing back in the days before the genre was somewhat revived by Telltale and the like. Many of these projects were never fully realised, either stopped by cease and desist orders or by internal wrangling. Such things did not stop Infamous Adventures, however, as they have just released their loving recreation of Space Quest II after five years in development.

Done in a similar style to Sierra On-Line’s VGA remake of Space Quest, the game features vastly improved hand-drawn graphics, voice acting and a much improved interface.

Best of all, the game is available for free. You can download it here
