My perhaps rose-tinted memory is that the deaths were pretty comic in Space Quest.

Some of the best parts of the SQ4 talkie are the sarcastic narrated death screens. And SQ5 has neat animations.
The manual tells you to "save early, save often" for a reason.
My subconscious has just dredged up the memory "you take a good long whiff of the acid, and .. whoah, talk about clean sinuses!". That might have been from the later remastered SQ I even?
Sounds like Space Quest 4. That one had a Nose/Smell and Mouth/Taste icon.
The narrator (Gary Owens) was also amazing in the CD version.
