Space Quest I Hints
How do I get past the guards?
1 of 7: Don't be confused by the box versus trunk wording.
2 of 7: Put your Jet-Pack into the trunk, you won't be needing it again.
3 of 7: Push the trunk over to the vent.
4 of 7: Climb up, and loosen the vent with your knife. (From the pod, remember?)
5 of 7: Go in and explore until you find a dead end with a screen.
6 of 7: Kick in the screen. (NOOO, not the computer monitor screen!)
7 of 7: Hide in the washing machine, and wait to get some new duds.
