Game Description:
Forget the mindless garbage you've seen on television. A police officer's job consists of more than high speed chases and "Dirty Harry" shootouts. Drug traffic, homicide and violence provide the backdrop for their everyday existence. It's a grueling, thankless career of unending responsibility and unexpected jeopardy. Now, to salute those "blue knights" who serve and protect, Sierra introduces Police Quest. An adventure gamer that lets you experience what it's like to be a real police officer. 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 flash-point level.

Review
Our Verdict: Police Quest 1 is a delightful throwback for nostalgia nerds, to a time when this sort of dramatic content was new ground for games and an adventure could make a kid want to be a police officer when he grows up. Twenty years later, both the original and the remake are still fun and easy to play, and required playing for adventure game historians.
