Space Quest 6 Issue

[bryanwoerner]

Playing the Space Quest Collection. No issues with 1 through 5, but I can't get past sickbay as the game crashes each time. Any help or updates?

I believe the New Rising Sun patch fixes this. Been a while.

You can find it on the Sierra Help Pages. Scroll down to the SQ6 section.

Look for "Space Quest VI: The Spinal Frontier Patch (SQ6_NRS) (ZIP file) [3.78 KB]"
Do read the notes below it if you're having issues. You may have to have a save game just outside of sickbay for example.

Good luck!

Thanks! It turned out I needed to slow down DOSBox. I also had to turn off scroll when I go to the tapeworm.

Yeah, see here is the thing people don't realize, dosbox it came with was configured for machines of when this bundle was sold which was a long time ago. Those options don't work nessscary with newer machines and you have to slow the cycles down.
