'''''Space Quest''''' is a series of six [[comic science fiction]] [[adventure game]]s released between 1986 and 1995. The games follow the adventures of a hapless [[janitor]] named [[#Protagonist|Roger Wilco]], who campaigns through the galaxy for "truth, justice, and really clean floors". 

Initially created for [[Sierra Entertainment|Sierra On-Line]] by [[Mark Crowe]] and [[Scott Murphy (video game designer)|Scott Murphy]] (who called themselves the "Two Guys from Andromeda"), the games parodied both [[science fiction]] properties such as ''[[Star Wars]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]'' (the theme song itself is a parody of the ''Star Wars'' theme), as well as pop-culture phenomena from [[McDonald's]] to [[Microsoft]]. The series featured a silly sense of humor heavily reliant on puns and wacky storylines. Roger Wilco, a perpetual loser, is often depicted as the underdog who repeatedly saves the universe (often by accident), only to be either ignored or punished for violating minor regulations in the process.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/the-20-year-estrangement-of-the-two-guys-from-andromeda#close-modal |title=The 20-Year Estrangement of the Two Guys from Andromeda |author=Leigh Alexander |publisher=Game Developer |date=2012-05-31 |accessdate=2024-04-13}}</ref>
