Summary: One of Sierra's Lowlights
Review: Critics loved the first Police Quest (back in 1987) because it seemed to capture police work better than any other game before it. It did; you had to do things by the book or you lost the game, period. These games weren't as fond of violence as the King's Quest series (why was that marketed to kids, anyway?), and usually achieved their primary goal.

The writing, though, was atrocious; the plots were fairly dull and formulaic (save for PQ2, which was only formulaic) and the games had almost no replayability. The series as a whole hit its nadir with Police Quest 4, a project embarrassingly used by former LAPD chief Daryl Gates as a way of demeaning the press and defending his own scattershot record.

Yech. For story, go for Space Quest or Quest for Glory; if you can find them, the Conquest titles (Camelot and Longbow, the latter featuring Robin Hood) are terrific, much better than this series.

Summary: Sonny Bonds is my hero
Review: Easily one of the most dynamic series ever programmed, Sierra's Police Quest series was one of the first games I've played, and still the most fun game I've ever played, Go after the Death Angel with Sonny Bonds and beyond...

Summary: The Best
Review: From where it all began until Swat came out, this is the ultimate collection. Police Quest 1 (vga and svga) I liked the old version since the day i played it, it was much more fun, but both are great. Plice Quest 2 (vga) lots of fun, this was the first time i played it. Police Quest 3,4 (svga) both were great, 3 was better then 4, and 4 was... to put it nicely weird Swat. simply put fun for everyone who ever wanted to be part of the team. if you have or haven't played any of these games, get this you will enjoy it for hours on end.

Summary: An Awesome Piece of Work
Review: I really enjoyed this game. It had a really authentic feel. In the games you are able to ride around in your squad car and look for violaters. I enjoyed looking for clues, talking to people, and gathering clues. If you like a good adventure game then this game is for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Where in Europe can I order this?
Review: I'm a big fan of all the Police Quests series, and I'd love to have it. On this site, it can only be shipped within the US. Since I live in the Netherlands (Europe), I'm most unfortunate (what this is concerned) Has anybody got tips for me, where I can buy it in Europe??
