The Police Quest games are extremely fun!
Just be sure to have the manual ready, because when you make arrests and such - you will need to follow the book or people can get off on a technicality - or you might end up dead. Depending on the situation. Police Quest 3 is probably my favorite of the series; as it has more graphics, and more story that makes it feel like "First Power" (that old 80s movie) in regard to the elements and how things play out. Police Quest 4: Open Season takes place in Los Angeles, and breaks away completely from having anything to do with Police Quest I-III. It's disappointing in that regard, but still, as it's own game (which is probably why they call it Police Quest: Open Season rather than Police Quest 4, but I call it PQ4 so people know the order of the games).
... and even for just 1 game I might be willing to pay 10 euro.
I play the whole game with WT and I enjoy the relaxing proces of experiencing an early 1990s world and software.
For part 3 I can say that the story feels like a cheesy police drama (+!),
the graphics are romantically pixelated, artistically very well done: beautiful backgrounds, a lot of player animations, the music is retro midi, I like it. Be warned that sometimes the game is silent. Not all scenes or actions have sound effects or music. I didn't mind at all.
Playing a Sierra game (with WT) is like reading a bookt, very relaxing <3
My future journey: Lucasarts adventures...
My aunt had this disc when I was a kid. I would play these games all the time. Even as a kid I found them somewhat difficult however the great stories and fun exploration was always what kept me coming back. These are some of the biggest classic point and click adventure games of all time. You should DEFINITELY take the time to pick this one up. If you have ever enjoyed any point and click adventure games then you've got to buy this one.
The Police Quest series features the perhaps most realistic and most authentic adventure games ever to be made. Designed by former police officer Jim Walls, the first three games all takes place in the fictional city of Lytton, where you follow detective Sonny Bonds, as he battles his arch nemisis Jessie Bains aka. The Death Angel, and at the same time keeps the street of Lytton safe.
The VGA remake (which is the version included in this package) of the first game "In the Pursuit of the Death Angel" and the sequel "The Revenge" both features compelling stories as well as some memorable characters, with certainly makes them worth playing, even though
they offer very little challenge. Unfortunately i can't recommend the third game of the series "The Kindred", as it got ruined by a failed attempt to include some sort of real life clock (in many situations the game jumpes back and forth in time, and in one situation a dead guy even revives, if you visit the same place twice).
By the time of the fourth game designer Jim Walls, was replaced with former LAPD Chief Daryl F. Gates, and the game moved away from Lytton, and into the big city of Los Angeles. That also meant, that Sonny Bonds no longer was the main character. Instead the player stepped into the shoes of Homice Detective John Carey in his hunt for an brutal serial killer, witch first victim was non other than Careys best freind and colleage Bob Hickman.
Feacturing scanned photographs of real life locations, motion captured video of actors and a much more mature story than it preceders, Police Quest: Open Season took realism to a whole new level. Besides the improved graphics and the inclusion of voice acting, another mayor improment, especially compared to Police Quest 1 and 3, is that every object on the screen can be examined, sometimes revealing a valuable clue or maybe a silly comment from the narrator. Such a thing is vital in an adventure game, especially when you spend a lot of your time, searching the surroundings for vital evidence and clues. When you finally the game (it's much longer than its preceders), you will undoubtedly be satisfided, simply beacuse the difficulty is that much higher than in the earlier games.
Overall this is a great package, and i would certainly recommend it to every adventure game fan, and everyone with just a slight interest in crime stories out there. Police Quest: Open Season is really the highlight of the series, but the other games will surely entertain too.
