Sierra On-Line
Description

Third Person
"Space Quest 1 is the first game of the Space Quest series (which I severely hope you could figure out by the "1" following the word "Space Quest" in the title), and it introduces the space janitor/hero/all-around great guy Roger Wilco. Basically, Roger is a janitor onboard the spacelab Arcada, which just so happens to be testing out a new invention called the Star Generator. This "Star Generator" has the ability to turn a giant hunk of rock (also known as a planet) into a giant burning ball of stinky gas (also known as a star). Unfortunately for Roger and the rest of the crew, the Arcada is attacked by a rather irate species with bad table manners, and the Star Generator is stolen and the crew slaughtered. Everyone is killed--except for Roger, who was napping in a janitor's closet. And from here, Roger must save his own hide and keep those dastardly aliens from using the Star Generator's destructive power. ..." -
