Space Quest: Vohaul Strikes Back is a non-commercial fan-made sequel to Sierra's Space Quest series, released in 2011.

Premise

When a fallen nemesis returns to wreak vengeance on the galaxy, it's up to space janitor Roger Wilco to tread the treacherous ice world of Radon, outwit an army of simian commandos, and lead the indigenous people in a revolution to take back the planet and defeat the diabolical mad scientist Sludge Vohaul.

Beginning in April 2002, the game was developed by a group of volunteers in their spare time for over nine years. The developers used the free Adventure Game Studio engine, created by Chris Jones.

As of January 2012, the game does not yet have a voice pack, but production on one is underway.

Several authors of Vohaul Strikes Back, most notably Chris Ushko, also worked on another fan-made sequel, Space Quest: Incinerations, which was in development for over six years and released just a few weeks later, in January 2012.
