Book him.
Police Quest 1 was the first adventure game I bought with my own money as a kid. (Clearly before the ESRB ratings!) I'm not sure what drew me to Sonny Bonds instead of Roger Wilco, though I played all the Sierra games one way or another. My interest in crime drama hadn't really manifested yet, but maybe growing up with Agatha Christie on TV was the catalyst. PQ1 was also the first official hint book I bought. They were the "lemon juice" highlighters revealing invisible ink. Because I wasn't actually familiar with TV cop dramas, I was never able to guess the phrase "book him", and the game would not accept ANYTHING even remotely similar. That was the phrase you needed. Being so formative, I enjoyed all the PQ games through 4, and moved away from the series after that as Sierra moved into more live capture.

Tough, instructive and cool
I always though that this series from Sierra was a bit more difficult than most other adventure game series. The topics of the games were way more serious too. Police Quest 1 was (according to its creator) actually used for instruction purposes. If you're gonna play, be sure to check all your tires before exiting the station :).

Great Old Games
I never got to play the entire series back in the day and now is my chance thanks to GOG. I loved the Police Quest I did play (2 I think it was) and really wish there were adventure/sim type police games still made today.
