I really need help with this quote, from a classic game and I can't remember

I don't remember it exactly, but I saw it in a magazine (part of it) referring to a different game, and I can't remember what it's from. It's driving me nuts. Anyways I want to say it was from an old text game (like Zork). It was something like:



<< A drone has entered the vent shaft behind you
You died with a supried look on your face
>>



Everytime I think about it I bust out laughing, I just can't help it. Comedy at it's finest :) Hell I don't even know if it was supposed to be funny, I just remember laughing till I cried, and still do when I think of it.

I remember a sci-fi text game on the Commodore 64 called Dog Star. But I have no idea if that quote is in it.

Yup, I'm 99% sure it's one (if not the first) Space Quest. Can't remember the exact scene, but I think you folks nailed it. Thanks a ton.

What's even odder, there was a Space Quest thread last night, what are the odds of two in one night?

The original BeachHead ruled far more than the second, and shared it's throne with Raid Over Moscow.
