Easter Eggs referring to Space Quest VI: Roger Wilco in the Spinal Frontier

Police Quest IV: Open Season (Egg id: 132)

Use the hand icon on the computer in Luella Parker's office to get a reference to "Space Quest V: The Final Frontier". The real title of Space Quest V, released a bit before Police Quest 4, is actually "Space Quest V: The Next Mutation". Space Quest VI on the other hand was titled "The Spinal Frontier" but wasn't released until late 1995. Weird uh?
