Description

Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon is the first game in the Space Quest Series to be developed in SCI. It is also one of the first to use include digital sound samples (the "Where am I" in the game's opening cut scene). Since SCI0 did not have a separate resource for these samples, they were embedded in the SOUND resources. A special SoundBlaster driver is required to hear these sounds. See AddWav or the SCI Sound Utilities.
