Cover-Up At Roswell
In 1996, Virgin Media released a PC game based on the first season designs for The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest. The game used footage from six shows -- The Darkest Fathoms, In the Realm of the Condor, Ndovu's Last Journey, Manhattan Maneater, Trouble on the Colorado, and Alien in Washington -- to piece together a new story. Interestingly, the game features a complete guide to all Quest vehicles not found in other media.

Plot
The manual describes the plot thusly:
In an isolated area of Nevada exists AREA 51, a huge tract of land with underground facilities for top secret U.F.O. research. Recently, several rumors have circulated in regard to the nature of this research, most prominently that the government is trying to use alien technologies to create weapons of mass destruction.
Assigned to guard the secretes of Area 51 are the MEN IN BLACK, a battalion of combat-ready "enforcers" who are under the supreme authority of GENERAL TYLER. Several former MEN IN BLACK have recently been indicted on Federal tampering charges, but this hardly seems to have affected their ruthless policies. They are widely considered to be the most dangerous of all government agencies.
Like his subordinates, GENERAL TYLER is not to be taken lightly. Openly criticized by many in military circles as a "rogue lifer," TYLER Is recognized by the Pentagon brass as an extremely effective "silencer." Along with his MEN IN BLACK, he has kept the lid on many a classified operation. He was recently placed in charge of SuNaPhen, an embryonic agency designed to investigate supernatural phenomena. Many individuals who have questioned his authority have disappeared without a trace. TYLER has little tolerance for civilians, in particular RACE BANNON, whom he refers to a "loose cannon."
GENERAL TYLER'S hatred for BANNON is second only to that of DR. JEREMIAH SURD, an evil genius whose deteriorating physical condition has left him relegated to a wheelchair. He blames the QUEST TEAM, and BANNON in particular, for his misfortunes and will stop at nothing to destroy them all. it is a safe bet that most QUEST adventures will involve overcoming SURD and his loyal subordinates. His recent acquisition of a portable QUESTWORLD SYSTEM allows him access to the world of cyberspace, a fantasy land where his physical imitations do not interere with his fanatical obsessions. SURD takes full advantage of QUESTWORLD'S ability to bend reality, prompting the QUEST TEAM to adopt a "trust no one" policy.
When a bank of highly sensitive government monitors pick up a "U.F.O. that is entering Earth's atmosphere, GENERAL TYLER is immediately notified. After the "U.F.O." crashes near the remote town of Roswell, New Mexico, it soon becomes evident that it is actually an alien spaceship. Furthermore, it jettisons several objections prior to impact with the Earth's surface. With these alien components scattered across the globe, GENERAL TYLER dispatches the ruthless MEN IN BLACK to contain the situation. The QUEST TEAM knows full well that they must retrieve these objects before their adversaries do.
The stakes are high for the QUEST TEAM - if the secrets of this alien technology are obtained by either TYLER or SURD, there's not telling what sort of cataclysms could ensue. Most likely, i would spell the end of the QUEST TEAM, not to mention the world as we know it.
An alien vessel has broken up over the earth's atmosphere.
