QUARK: THE COMPLETE SERIES
Created by comic genius BUCK HENRY (known for the classic TV series GET SMART), QUARK is a wildly imaginative and hilarious send-up of the science fiction genre. Set in the year 2222, the series takes place aboard a Sanitation Patrol Cruiser, where the primary mission is less about exploration and adventure and more about the often tedious task of picking up space junk. This unique premise sets the stage for a humorous critique of both sci-fi cliches and the nature of work itself, particularly in a future where garbage collection has reached intergalactic proportions.
The show's protagonist, Commander Adam Quark, portrayed by the talented RICHARD BENJAMIN (star of WESTWORLD), is a character filled with ambition and dreams of excitement, but is often thwarted by the mundane realities of his job. His yearning for a more adventurous assignment serves as a poignant reflection on the universal desire for purpose and fulfillment in one’s career.
Quark is surrounded by a quirky and diverse crew that adds to the show's comedic charm:
Ficus (played by RICHARD KELTON): A Vegeton science officer whose unique physical traits and odd behaviors underscore the show's irreverent tone.
Betty I and Betty II: Portrayed by TRICIA BARNSTABLE and CYB BARNSTABLE, these identically-cloned twin engineers bring a touch of absurdity and confusion to the ship’s operations, showcasing the perils of cloning in a humorous light.
Andy: Voiced by BOBBY PORTER, this cowardly robot adds an element of slapstick humor with its humorous antics and robot mishaps, often providing comic relief amidst the chaos.
Gene/Jean: Played by TIMOTHY THOMERSON, this half-man/half-woman "transmute" introduces themes of gender fluidity and identity with a comedic twist, showcasing the series' progressive sensibilities.
The command structure of the Sanitation Patrol is equally eccentric:
Otto Palindrome (portrayed by CONRAD JANIS, known for MORK & MINDY): The authoritative figure issuing orders from a distance, further emphasizing the absurdity of their situation.
The Head: Voiced by ALAN CAILLOU, this disembodied floating noggin communicates with Quark and his crew via video screen, adding a surreal element to the show’s humor as it attempts to convey wisdom and commands while lacking a physical form.
As relevant and entertaining today as it was when it first aired, QUARK: THE COMPLETE SERIES includes all eight episodes of this uproarious comedy. The show's blend of science fiction tropes with sharp humor has garnered it a cult following, proving that laughter transcends time.
SPECIAL FEATURES: Among the delightful extras included are Minisodes that further entertain fans:
I DREAM OF JEANNIE: "ANYBODY HERE SEEN JEANNIE?"
FANTASY ISLAND: "ISLAND OF HORRORS"
This combination of engaging content, nostalgic appeal, and innovative comedy makes QUARK a must-watch for both fans of classic television and newcomers looking for a unique twist on the science fiction genre.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
