Description

Jim Walls' Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel is an AGI adventure game released in 1987. It is the first in the Police Quest Series and the only one done in AGI. In 1992, it was remade in SCI with VGA graphics and point and a click interface.


Synopsis

1988 Sierra Catalog[2] wrote:

Police Quest puts you in the role of a police officer in a small middle-American town. Your goal: to stop the flood of illegal drugs into the once crime-free community. Experience the daily trials of a police officer as you handle traffic violations, attend briefings, and experience the frustration of bureaucratic red tape. Face life-threatening situations, where the lives of innocent people depend on your sound judgment and quick reflexes.

Police Quest is the most authentic graphic adventure game available for your computer. Players are required to follow police procedures during the course of the action, just as officers must follow them in the real world. A manual explaining police procedures for arrests and other situations is included with the package. Police Quest is a dramatic tale straight from today's headlines!
