Emulation
This game works with: Basilisk II, Mini vMac

"Space Quest 3 is a graphical adventure. The mouse is functional for movement and inventory access, however the game primarily relies on a text parser for specific commands and manipulation of objects on screen. In addition to the regular gameplay, there are also various mini-games, such as a simple non-scrolling arcade game Astro Chicken, as well as a radar screen representation for ship-to-ship space combat." --MobyGames.com

Also in this series: I: The Sarien Encounter (original and remake), II: Vohaul's Revenge, IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers, 6: The Spinal Frontier

(The fifth game wasn't released for the classic Mac OS.)

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k

Includes a patch to make it compatible with more recent classic Mac OS systems.

"Timing lockups on LC 575 and Duo 2300. Need date to be set before 1993 on IIci to avoid lock up issue. Problem report"

It could just be me but I think the patch is only "partially" working. I played through up until the game needs resource 004 (disk 5) and then it freezes just like the non-patched game does at the opening animation.
