Hi guys,

I've gotten my hands on Space Quest 4 16-Color version on 5.25" disks, but the last disk (Game Disk 3) has a tiny knock on its surface near track 50, preventing me from properly archiving the thing. The damage is affecting the file RESOURCE.003, and I'm afraid this rare version of the game seems nowhere to be found online.

Please note the 5.25" version has different file layout than the 3.5" version. They redistribute the assets across a different number of RESOURCE.00X files, so the two copies aren't interchangeable.

If anyone has this particular version (picture of the disk below), can you send me an image or at least RESOURCE.003 ?

Cheers!
(hopefully such requests are ok)

The 256 Color version is very common, and I found the 16-Color version on 3.5" 720K disks only. The 5.25" 16-Color version is quite elusive. None of the major archives seem to have it (REMOVED, REMOVED, REMOVED GOG).

Great news! After many-an-attempts, and I mean MANY, I managed to get a good read of the bad sectors. I'm guessing the kink got flattened between the drive heads and gave up after all those attempts 😅

I now have a good image of the disk... if anyone else needs it 🙃
