Play Space Quest V: The Next Mutation Online

Game Overview

Space Quest V is peak Roger Wilco nonsense—in the best way. You start off thinking you're some hotshot pilot in a Star Wars-esque simulator, only to find out you're just cheating your way through StarCon Academy. Next thing you know, they stick you in command of the Eureka, which is basically a flying trash can (and yes, that’s a vacuum cleaner joke). The whole thing feels like someone mashed up Star Trek episodes with B-movie tropes and a heavy dose of self-aware humor.

One minute you're getting hunted by a Schwarzenegger-esque murder-bot named W-D40 (yes, like the lubricant), the next you're dumping space monkeys into your drink because, well, why not? There’s even a Fly parody where Roger gets turned into a human-headed insect while a fly with his body just… rolls around in garbage. Classic.

Somehow, between all the gags, there’s an actual plot about stopping a galaxy-wide plague, saving your future wife (so your kid from SQIV can exist), and outrunning a Kirk parody with a bad toupee. Roger’s still a disaster, but by the end, even his crew begrudgingly respects him. It’s ridiculous, charming, and surprisingly heartfelt—if you can survive the terrible puns.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
