A Son of Xenon is an interesting Fan made Indie Prequel to the Space Quest series that has the exact same controls and the exact same resolution and color-count as the original. And the same deaths lurking on every corner. As with the original this is kind of fun, but also frustrating if you didn't save on time. There is no autosave function or the like. That would be a welcome addition, but BostonMcShew keeps it true to the roots, which is also okay... ish... for me, but I like Lucas Arts more than Sierra games, but that is another story. There are lots of inside jokes for Space Quest veterans and some funny nods to other Sierra Games, we don't go to work here, we end up in the Lizard Lounge. The music is pretty good and the coworker is a fun character, we sadly only meet Pearl besides him, and she stays mysterious by now. The game is chapter one of hopefully more chapters, this game makes me want more.

Synopsis: "A Son of Xenon" is a non-profit fan-made adventure game and prequel to Space Quest. It has a similar graphics style to Space Quest III (or Police Quest 2 or Larry 2) meaning 320x200 EGA graphics with a lot of dithering effects; It is icon controlled and features a high quality original score.

The plot starts on Roger’s home planet (shortly before Space Quest I) and we get to know a hardworking smart Roger, a true son of Xenon. We will learn how he became the guy we love and there's this thing with the sun which seems to be dying...

Roger spends the first part of the game (other chapters will follow - hopefully) in his office and studio apartment. When Roger, ending up in a bar, meets a woman who is simply too gorgeous to be true, a story of love and betrayal unfolds...

For those who have played my first game “Decisions of the Elders”. “A Son of Xenon” takes place some 20 years later and is considered more mature than its predecessor.
