New Space Quest game possibly in development! More at Roger Wilco's Virtual Broomcloset. (The Broomcloset also has information on an aborted attempt at Space Quest 7, which inspired an attempt at a fan-created sequel that also didn't quite happen.)
Hint to developers of new Space Quest games: Get Gary Owens to narrate every one of them.

They haven't done one in a while.
Gary Owens narrated Space Quest 6, and it's probably my favorite as a result. I couldn't stop laughing when Gary caught me cheating and took away all my points. I was using a walkthrough for a particularly time-consuming puzzle that involved running up and down aisles of filing cabinets, with each file you pick up a clue as to the next one you need to fetch. Since I already knew the names of all the files I needed, I thought I'd save time and get all the files one aisle at a time, instead of in the order I was supposed to find them. A ridiculously stupid puzzle designed solely to catch people using walkthroughs, and I fell for it. It was awesome.
Huh, that's strange - I just unloaded a Space Quest game, and I was thinking "too bad they don't do more of these..."
