Space Quest VI: Roger Wilco in the Spinal Frontier (also simply known as Space Quest VI) is the sixth and last game in the Space Quest series, released in 1995. Roger Wilco returns to Starcon headquarters after defeating the Pukoid mutants in the last game. However, for his recklessness and breaking Starcon regulations, he is demoted back to a second class janitor and is relocated on the SCS DeepShip 86. As he settles into his new surroundings, he is pursued by a new villain named Sharpei, who is connected to a secret project that may prolong life indefinitely using nanomachines.Initially headed by Josh Mandel with Scott Murphy acting as a creative consultant, it was the last game Mandel worked on for Sierra, having left the company midway through development after a contract dispute with Sierra's higher-ups. |

Chekhov's Gun: The seemingly useless rotting fish in Roger's pocket is both this and a Brick Joke. You carry it around for most of the game and have it returned to you multiple times, only for it to be the one thing that can finish off Sharpei in the finale. |

Screw the Electric Bill: Checking one of the activated lamps in the laboratory will have the narrator remark that the light has a motion detector that automatically turns on when someone enters the room, indicating that it turns off when the play doesn't see it. The narrator then continues that it was also cheaper to animate that way. |

Mundane Solution: In the Information Superhighway, your number doesn't match the one shown on the Number Changer and Sis Inny doesn't let you into the file room because of that. You're supposed to use a screwdriver found a construction site and change the number so it matches yours, but you can also just wait until it ticks over, though the latter solution takes a while and doesn't give points. |

Punny Name: DeepShip 86 puns on the terms "Deep Six" and 86, both slang for getting rid of something. And that's exactly what StarCon does to Roger by assigning him there. There's also Sis Inny (SysIni) in the Information Superhighway Office. The shuttle's autopilot is named "Manuel Auxverride", a reference to the phrase "manual override", which is what you do for malfunctioning systems. |

Guide Dang It!: The infamous homing beacon puzzle. In order to get off Polysorbate LX, you need to fix a homing beacon in order to contact Stellar. Originally Roger could pick up a comic book CD-ROM that contained the information needed to assemble it correctly, but the comic book was never added into the game and the information was added to the game's manual as a cheap method of copy protection, despite the game being made in a time when the practice had since stopped due to CD-ROMs being harder to copy off of. Notably, nowadays... It is actually working as copy protection, and CD-ROMs are shockingly easy to copy. |

Self-Contained Demo: The game's demo had its own separate storyline, involving an invasion by a parody of the Borg, with unique puzzles not featured in the main game. |

Body Uploading: When Roger plugs in a Cyberspace jack and wears its attached helmet, his whole body teleports into cyberspace. |

Shout-Out |
| | Space Quest VI: Roger Wilco in the Spinal Frontier (Video Game) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: At the beginning of the game, Roger's jockstrap is flunk through the air. As it spins, the scene transitions into the similarly-shaped DeepShip 86, in a nod to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Looking at the mirror in Roger's room will have the narrator mention seeing a silk-clad brunette overacting in a stone tower. Later, when you give Opus the morphine-spiked donut to gain access to the shuttle bay, one of the things he turns into is an Elton John-like piano player singing "Girl In The Tower"and before that he turns, into Michigan J. Frog. Captain Kielbasa is a clear mash up of both Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the Kilrathi. Sidney is a spoof of Lt. Commander Data. Roger's eulogy for Stellar is a spoof of Kirk's eulogy for Spock from the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. A twofer with Stooge Fighter III, tossing Street Fighter II and The Three Stooges into a blender and hitting "puree." Another twofer is Roger helping a very Blade Runner-esque bounty hunter catch a droid made of liquid metal. |

Series Continuity Error |
| | Space Quest VI: Roger Wilco in the Spinal Frontier (Video Game) / int_ca95473c |
comment |
Series Continuity Error: The scene in which StarCon commend Roger for returning the SCS Eureka. The same SCS Eureka he blew up to kill the Big Bad in the previous game, it was the SCS Goliath he managed to save. Considering it happens during a clearly humiliating and one-sided court martial, this could be waved as proof that The Federation is just another hopelessly corrupt and incompetence-riddled entity in Roger's life. |

Hoist by His Own Petard: Sharpei's plan hinges on her belief that she can implant her mind seamlessly into Stellar's body. And she's so obsessed with preserving her brain she makes the stupid decision of eating a rotten fish because it's "brain food", killing her instantly. |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished |
| | Space Quest VI: Roger Wilco in the Spinal Frontier (Video Game) / int_eb8f64a6 |
comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: The game opens with a very brutal instance of this trope. Even though Roger managed to save who knows how many planets from a genetic apocalypse in the previous game, he is court-martialed and demoted to janitor (presumably to enforce Status Quo Is God, but it also shows how much of a Crapsack World the Space Quest universe is). |
