Editing Space Quest (section)

=== In-fiction future sequels ===
In ''Space Quest IV'', Roger travels into both the past and future of the game's timeline. Even in-game characters are [[metafiction|conscious of living in a video game]], and refer to eras with sequel numbers, not temporal units (such as years), even though specific years are named elsewhere in the ''Space Quest'' [[Canon (fiction)|canon]]. Portions of the game took place in the time frames of the following "sequels":
* ''Space Quest X: Latex Babes of Estros'' (a reference to [[Infocom]]'s ''[[Leather Goddesses of Phobos]]''): In this timeframe, Roger or his son, Roger Jr. had had an undetermined affair with Zondra of the Latex Babes, which he ended abruptly. This timeframe contains the planet Estros and the ''Galaxy Galleria'' space station mall.
* ''Space Quest XII: Vohaul's Revenge II'': In this timeframe, Vohaul's consciousness has been uploaded in the Xenon Super Computer and infected it like a virus. He took over the planet and is sending his minions back in time to kill Roger Wilco. An underground resistance is formed against him, including his nemesis' son, Roger Wilco Jr.

These games were never actually created, and only exist within the plot of ''Space Quest IV''. Scott Murphy has stated that he did intend to use these titles if the series had made it that far and the storyline still permitted it.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/slashvohaul/status/1111856537989869570|title=Thank you!
