Just had to do this, this was the very first game I ever played on a PC and I was about 6 or so.
Actually this (and Space Quest 1) were the games that taught me my very first english words.
Those games are the reason I later stuck out in my english classes.
I might even go as far and say those games are the reason I like the english language so much
For those who don't know jack shit about those games, a description I found on some random site:
Quote:
Anyone remotely interesting in games should instantly recognize the Sierra name and altough they make diverse game these days in the beginning it seems like they made only adventure games. Police quest is one of their adventure series and unlike the others this one takes things quite seriously. You play the role of Sonny Bonds, a police officer in the Lytton police department and you have to do your day to day tasks until you have to stop a drug dealer nicknamed the death angel. The original title of the game was police quest: in persuit of the death angel but commonly referred to as police quest 1 as there were a number of sequels.
The game uses the same interface of other Sierra adventure with your character onscreen and you can walk around using the cursor keys. You can type in any commands on the bottom of the screen like picking up items or interacting with people. The game starts in the police station with the briefing about to begin. You still have some time to get stuff out of your locker like your gun and badge but don't be late or you'll be dead!

Anyway, childhood memories...
I remember playing this games for weeks, now I can complete it in under an hour - might be because I know most of the game inside out
This is what got me hooked on games, adventures, PCs you name it.
and then they made POLICE QUEST 5 :SWAT a FMV game , then POLICE QUEST 6 :SWAT 2 a RTS game and then they go tripping on coke and made the best SWAT simulator ever POLICE QUEST 7 :SWAT 3 a FPS and POLICE QUEST 8 : SWAT 4 another FPS with a great addon
Yeah, the 3rd one was the best, I didn't like the graphics style of the second and the first is just a pure classic
But the third one was the most elaborate one. The fourth one tried to take a more "realistic" approach so bye bye Sonny Bonds and city of Lytton.
Did I mention I didn't like the fourth one?
