Description

Who hasn't heard of Police Quest? This is one of those games that never seems to die. It has been re-released time and time again--not surprisingly whenever a popular gaming magazine does an issue on the top 100 PC games of all time. In this ever-popular adventure you play the part of Sonny Bonds, a young cop in Lytton Police Department attempting to catch a drug dealer who calls himself "The Death Angel." What makes this game unique is that you don't save the day by grabbing your gun and blasting criminals into the next incarnation. Rather, you succeed through good old-fashioned police work. You must track down witnesses, gather evidence and search for clues if you want to win this game. Fortunately, you do get to arrest several people along the way.

Technically speaking, the title doesn't bring much, since the AGI interpreter used to develop this game was pretty limited in itself, especially the low-resolution graphics, which are plain and blocky. But, despite all these technical drawbacks the storyline is very absorbing and offers hours of fun and enjoyment.
