Pete Zahut · 11-23-2003, 09:03 AM

Hi there,

Since i've enjoyed playing police adventure games like Police Quest 1,2,3,4 and Blue Force, I was wondering.. Are there more good police adventures out there? If you know some could u tell which ones?

Jack Orlando - P.I. Not a very good adventure, in my taste, but it makes a good feeling of an old 30th noir movie.
I would suggest Blade Runner, Codename: Iceman (in both games the man behind Police Quest 1-3 and Blue Force took part in), also KGB, Countdown, Tex Murphey series (well, more detective-like games), Rise of the Dragon (remecent of Blade Runner), Spycraft, Sherlock Holmes 1-2 (detective, again). Manhunter1-2 is a nice, bloody game. That's all I can remember.

Ah yes, I know Jack Orlando well, It looks very good. As for the new game, is it called Good cop Bad cop? Also very old police games are welcome too.

Hmm didnt hear about Countdown, gonna have a search for that one, Hopkins FBI is kinda like Jack Orlando qua graphics.

Erm, Countdown was not a cop / PI story.
Good Cop Bad Cop is an abandoned project by Revolution, though you never know if they bring it back to life.

Then what it was? I think it was a police-thriller game. A man found himself in a hospital for mad people (don't remember how it's called in english) without remembering anything, but when he got out of there, he found out that he was a FBI agent (or some other organisation, don't remember) and was on a mission. So he continues his mission all the second half of the game. And the hole game process is like a police/detective game - questioning people in a specific manner, founding out personnals and hidden texts and so on. I think it is one of the better detectives, like all Access games.
Oh, and now I've just remembered two of the most "detective" games - Mortville Mannor and Maupity Island from Lankhor - very hard, but presented as a real investigation.

Years ago there was a cop game for the PC. you were the cop and you had to check your car, and radio and check the arrest sheets then drive around the town and arrest people. you had to type in the commands etc...if anyone knows the name of the game please let me know, i have been looking for it for the past 15 years. thank you.

That'll be Police Quest.

And Hopkins FBI is utter, utter dreck. Avoid like a solidified lump of the plague.

Amazing what adventure games could do back then, wasn't it? Some stuff was still silly, though. Needs some work.

Hopkins FBArgh's story made Fahrenheit seem sane.

Don't be fooled by the pretty graphics, the game is a shambles, it's the worst designed, worst executed adventure game I ever played. It really is a miracle it was ever allowed to be released at all. My advice is stay well away, even if you see it really cheap.

There's this game, maybe you've heard of it, with a dog and a rabbit who are freelance police men...

In Still Life you play as an FBI agent for half the game, tracking a murderer, filing clues, putting them together, and baking cookies.

Exactly.
And then you play a detective 50 years before.

And it's a neat game.
