The best game was PQ1 EGA version... and its not included, I hated the VGA remakes of the 90's and they included them in all the collections... no EGA versions of the originals!!! I was so mad...

This is an excellent compilation overall

The games are really top quality. I grew up playing PQ3 and 4, and not only did I have the opportunity to play the prequels, but to relive the games I enjoyed as a kid. A lot of fun overall. If you are a PQ fan, this really is a must. It's like being a Beatles fan and owning the "White Album".

I Miss Jim Walls!

Whatever happened to Jim Walls? The man behind Sonny Bonds, et al created a wonderful series in PQ1, 2 and 3. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Gates' version of PQ4, but I admit I did enjoy it. I'm glad this compilation didn't include SWAT. SWAT is not Police Quest. It shouldn't even be related. It should be listed as its own series, independent of this.

What I love about this series is the ease of play. The puzzles are just hard enough to make the game interesting, but easy enough to make the game winnable if you will just do what you are supposed to. Police Quest 1 was, surpringly the most open-ended. You can actually ride up and down the highway pretty much all day giving out tickets and arresting drunk drivers. Okay so you can't do it ALL DAY, but the little "detour" does add some "random" enjoyment to the game.

I like the original version myself. The one where your car is just a little dot moving up and down the road chasing other little dots. Then you go "CODE 3!" and suddenly your little dot has 2 flashing little dot-lets on it...

The graphics might not be PS3 Quality on this game... heck they might flirt with being Atari 2600 quality... but I enjoy that aspect of this game just as much as the game play/plot line itself. This game was a serious accomplishement for Sierra before it got too big for its britches and forgot the people (like Jim walls and Al Lowe) that made it successful.

This game exists as the reason why Sierra needs to bring back these creative souls!

Greatest PC game ever made

I love PQ1-Police Quest: Open Season. After Open Season it got bad. Daryl Gates's Open Season was eary and very tough, I needed the hint book. The only problem I have with this compilation is PQ1. I hated the VGA version (remake) and hoped both EGA and VGA were on the cd's. Unfortunatly EGA was left out. Similar to Leisure Suit Larry 1. I was very disapointed with both remakes of PQ1 and Leisure Suit Larry 1.
Police Quest 1 dealt with the Death Angel Jesse Baines. You are Sonny Bonds regular police officer patrolling the streets until you get promoted to detective and try to track down the death angel. The ending was great and one of a kind. The hotel was the final (would of been the final meeting with Baines) part of the game. After you play poker for alittle while, you recognize Baines across from you and when you go back up to his hotel suite LOOK OUT!. Police Quest 2 had a different take on PQ1. You are thrown once again into the Death Angels clutches when Baines escapes jail and swore his revenge on Sonny Bonds, The classic writing to issue a command was great. The ending was terrific where you had to difuse a bomb as well as meet Baines again in a different city. PQ3 was also oe of my favorites. The graphics were much improved and you again were Sonny Bonds but your true love Marie (who you met in PQ1 but Sonny knew her before that) was stabbed by a visious gang (part of an occult). From patrolling the streets to becoming detective, Sonny is once again seeking all the answers and trying to stay calm and hope Marie recoperates after getting stabbed and left in critical condition. PQ 4 Open Season takes you out of Lytton as well as Sonny Bonds's shoes and into a detective who works in Los Angeles. This one is very ear, gorry (back in those times), and took you to different places. Once the PQ series switched to SWAt it was terrible, Jim Walls, please come back! If Police Quest was resurrected now the graphics and gameplay would be amazing. Imagine sitting on the highway with a radar gun pulling over people, respondonding to a bank robbery ect...

Love It!!!

I'm a huge fan of the Sierra games this is no exception. I loved all four of these games. The only think I didn't like is the packaging seemed pretty cheap. Just a box with a cd. The manual is even a pdf so you have to print off any pages you need. For the game I give a huge thumbs up for Sierra's cheap way of packaging I'm not as pleased.
