Description from the packaging.

"83-32, please respond code-2... 3-37 near the corner of Palm and Brock... 11-41 is enroute."

Action-packed Police Quest lets you experience the tough day-to-day encounters of a real police officer. More than just television glamour, it's a grueling, thankless career of unending responsibility and unexpected jeopardy.

A gripping, real-life story...
Based on the real-life experiences of California police officers, this story is seething with raw reality. The "Death Angel" has descended on the once quiet city of Lytton. Now the town is besieged with drug trafficking, robbery and murder. The crime wave is escalating to flashpoint level.

Authentic in every detail...
Exacting police procedures must be followed if any of your arrests are going to stick. You'll soon find out how tough it is to be a cop. Chosen to go undercover to capture the "Death Angel" you must weave your way through the underworld. One careless mistake or anxious reaction and it's all over.

Accelerating into the '90's...
The original Police Quest was a milestone in computer entertainment. Now this best-selling glimpse into the gritty world of real police work has been totally overhauled for a new generation of game players. Cruise dramatic, handpainted backgrounds, bracing yourself for deadly confrontations with video-captured, expertly animated characters. Authentic sound effects and a high energy music track will get you right into this classic real-life adventure.

  • It's a gangland hit. You'll need to investigate gritty crime scenes. Use actual police procedures to discover tell-tale clues and evidence.
  • High-speed car chases are part of your job. The onscreen map helps you track down killers as well as traffic violators. You'll have to respond quickly to headquarter requests and emergency calls if you want to collar the culprits.
  • Code 3 pursuits require pinpoint accuracy and split-second judgements. Defend yourself against trigger-happy criminals intent upon permanently ending your career.
  • High-stakes poker. Your cover is at risk. Can you successfully portray the criminal element and capture the Death Angel?

So real it's used as a police training tool!
"Police Quest is a serious training tool... Luck does not play a part in successfully completing the program. The simulation is based on skill and knowledge... The depth of training is enormous." - Law and Order Magazine.
