Synopsis

Roger Wilco's escape pod from the end of Space Quest II floats in space until it is picked up by an automated garbage freighter. Finding an abandoned spaceship among the freighter's trash, Roger sets out to repair the Aluminum Mallard and leave the barge.

Roger visits various locations, including a fast food restaurant called Monolith Burger and a desert planet called Phleebhut. In the latter case, he runs into trouble, as Arnoid the Annihilator (an Arnold Schwarzenegger-type android terminator) sues him for not paying for a whistle in Space Quest II (a continuity error in that the order form for the whistle clearly stated that it was in fact free). Through the information he retrieves there and at Monolith Burger, Roger eventually uncovers the sinister activities of a video game company known as ScumSoft, run by the "Pirates of Pestulon".

Pestulon, a small moon of the volcanic planet Ortega, is covered in soft, moss-like vegetation and dotted with twisted tree-like growths. Elmo Pug, the CEO of ScumSoft, has kidnapped the two guys from Andromeda and is forcing them to design horrible games.

Roger manages to sneak into ScumSoft's supposedly impregnable building and save the two programmers. He is discovered and must fight Pug in a game that combines giant mecha-style combat with Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots. After winning, Roger and the Two Guys escape. In the game's conclusion, Roger delivers the two game designers to Sierra On-Line President Ken Williams on Earth.
