What is all this production value I'm seeing here!? In 2023, at the age of 40, it's only today that I learned this remake was released back in 1991. Super cool this exists. Maybe it's my Nostalgia Goggles but I think I prefer the original graphics and keyboard inputs. The enhanced visuals feel a bit soulless by comparison. Pointing and clicking the mouse is certainly superior in one way. No more guessing via text EXACTLY what the game wants you to type. However, I feel a bit of interactivity disappears when you are no longer controlling the protagonist on foot via keyboard, rather clicking "go here." Anyhow, thanks for reading my Ted Talk and thanks for sharing this video!
Same here. I played the old version back in the days. Never knew there's a remake. I remember I got stuck at some point because I didn't know what to type or do. I think I was 13 years old, when I played this game, and English is not my 1st language. Space quest was also a fun game to play back in the days.
I just made popcorn. I can’t wait to watch this!! I had forgotten that give game existed....man I LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH. Sierra was the shit back in the day. Larry and Space quest were just as awesome. It’s gonna be a great snowstorm tonight baby!! Thanks for the video dude!!!!!!
2:58 Sonny unlocks the locker, the other guy is taking a shower. Sonny changes clothes, takes a bath, wears his uniform and leaves. The other guy is still taking a shower! Oh these civil servants....
I love this game, it has so much heart and was written with the help of a real policeman. The way police procedure leads to small incidents into the big ones is really how crimes unfold most of the time. A bit exaggerated in place, but they really don't make them like this anymore
The 3 first one were. I love it alot. But oof they were so hard : o i think i soft locked myself in Police Quest 2, and 3rd i havent beaten yet. But really love these games, the graphics and such
there's tragic history on this game how it's existed and made with al lowe involved, basically the original creator on this game is real cop idk what his name is, well let's just say the guy seen better days. he suffered post-traumatic event where the criminal almost shot him when his seat belt stuck to his police car. the guy was so scared of being a cop he quit the force and struggle almost all his life, somehow this game kind of give him a break on "struggling". skip few decade this game has evolved into SWAT series although i only played the 4th game it's still intriguing ip that can't easily forgotten.
@@SantomPh he actually had a 15 year career and by all accounts, he was a good cop. These days, you'd get disability retirement or at least put into an Employee Assistance program. Back in the 80s, most police departments weren't aware of what stress really could do to you. Everyone has a breaking point. Jim's was almost getting his ticket punched because he couldn't get his belts undone. It was that close.
I hope we get to see a Telltale-like remake of this series, kinda like what they did with King’s Quest. Also, I’d like it if they did one for Space Quest!
The first scene in Sonny's hotel room was a bit rushed. Just walking right to the phone and calling for the cab? I never did that. You did have the option of talking to Marie and saying "I like you a lot, and don't think I wouldn't love to, but I have to stay focused on the operation." She understood.
Don't some real life police stations actually have their officers play this as a form of training? I.E. it safely shows them the consequences of not observing proper police procedure.
It was something we all heard about back in the 80s. But that rumor was mostly bullshit. The training videos where they interviewed cops who survived shootouts and stabbings and other assorted misfortunes were a lot more effective in teaching good tactics.
@@bigdrew565 I did speak to an OPP detective in Ontario, Canada a couple years ago and he confirmed he played the Police Quest games on his own time to help him prepare to be a cop. He said he remembered the games fondly and said other cops he knew played the games also. But I don't think it was officially used to train them.
Dilandau3000 played the series several years ago but chose not to do the remake because he doesn't like it. I wish he had because the game is extremely superior.
I've got mixed impressions of the new art style, but consider game one superior to game three in every way. All three games are cop simulators, but the first in particular has enough wacky charm to offset that and keep it fun. That makes a BIG difference!
28:17 Ungrateful Carol! Gives him 10% off on some crummy pie for getting rid of a motorcycle gang :D He deserved a whole lunch on the house for doing that Haha
Are you ok with me using some of this footage for a video I'm making.. Its about police simulator games and I need some Police Quest footage. I will credit of course
The map was a helpful view of driving in this early game from the late 1980s. It's amazing that they removed the map from driving in the later Police Quest games, then blame you when you fly over the kerb at the end of the road. Weird.
This brings back some memories. After all those years I still remember @20:30 that part with th blond girl. 😀 24:32 Although I'm not sure that's a good thing to do, but you can give those bikes a domino push.
55 is _really_ fast to be driving down city streets. 35 or 40 would be much more realistic. Also, the Miranda Warning only needs to be spoken to a suspect before an interrogation, not just an arrest.
The Police Quest VGA remake was the one I was most disappointed with. First, Jim Walls had already left the company and if I recall he’s not even given any mention in the credits. Second, the bartender Woody Roberts was replace by some chick friend of Marie. Woody turned up dead in the trunk of a car in Police Quest 2, so re-writing my history makes that death appear random…
Decidec to watch this instead as playing it was too tedious. 1:19:19 Hiding in the bushes. 1:38:28 Oh wow, so that action didn't even matter. The story really is on-rails. 2:00:50 Backdoor poker.
This is an updated version of the original game. Some of it is a little different in character names and the writing of the script, but it is the same game.
graphical adventure games are a remnant of a bygone era. today you'd be lucky to find one of this caliber from a three man indie dev group let alone a big studio development team
Pretty cool remake. But what about kisses with Sweet Cheeks? And the trial for Bains before celebrating? They could have included those also. And the poker game - I suppose you can play it or skip it if u want? I also liked some added comments and actions like the hit with nightstick.
oh my god (twice) hehe! first; when i was working today, out of the blue the police quest series popped into my head and i was like 'let me find if there is a remake of the old police quests tonight and watch it as a youtube gamevideo', and here i am (again) at Yzzyxz's channel (watched the Larry games in the beginning of this year :-) and second; i remembered the combination to the locker in the beginning when he started to put it in hahaha and i havent played this game for like 20years or something! great stuff and memories :-) thanks Yzzyxz
@Cinnamon Troll Idk about the remake, but the original game takes place between 1983-1987, and Sonny Bonds is said to be born in the 50s...so that would make him probably from mid to late 20s. Laura's file mentions her being born in the late 40s...so yeah, even though she doesn't exactly look it, she's quite a few years his senior.
"sometimes it seems it'd be a lot easier to let these people kill themselves off" AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA was this game actually made by a cop?
you are under arrest sir...who me? yes you! now step into my vehicle..liscense and registery please..can i get taco bell first...well ill get u an orange juice and saltines
I jut replayed PQ for the firt time in like 27 years and i wondered playing it ,wait didnt they remake it like KQ1 and SQ1? and i guess i missed it then but yes they did and wow....sorry but, watching this, i'm glad i replayed the original from 1987 and not played this one instead. This era of PC gaming, mid 90's, is completely charmless. Bad digitalisation and everything. You're better off with the primitive graphics of original PQ

Just in the original CGA version. There is a sentence too ablut him, how often and long he takes shower because is it cheaper here than at home lol
@@sdkfeldfwerer6751 hahaha this explains it all!
NTM in the old game, they'd take points off you for walking into the shower with your clothes on. There was just no getting him out of there!
How about CIVIL? 🙄
I still remember this soundtrack as one of the coolest i have heard back in the day with my good old SoundBlaster 2.0.

My favourite Sierra Quest series was King's Quest. But they most all made up my childhood. Including this one.

Jim Walls was the cop's name.
that's Jim Wallis, he plays the cop that stands on the car and tells you how you effed up each time you die or fail in PQ3

The MT-32's synth instruments really enhances the 80s cop show vibes of the game.
Got some great memories from this game. I remember I wanted to become a Lytton cop after playing it ;)
I hope we get to see a Telltale-like remake of this series, kinda like what they did with King’s Quest.
Also, I’d like it if they did one for Space Quest!
I feel like some of the side commentary text has some “police humor” that non-cops wouldn’t understand
gosh, this retro sounds make me tingly....
When we see the picture of Sonny when he is talking, his hair doesn't look bleached when it is supposed to be.
Oh Sierra, how I miss your games.
Love this series, I remember spending ages in my game store looking at all the boxes and finally choosing PQ2. That started my lovefor these games.
"hey pig im going to take u to the square dance and spin u round all night long, baby !" i luv how the bad guys talk in PQ!!
Who here remembers the original PQ1 where you had to type everything?
Yes that's how I played it. Never knew they did a vga remake for this game.
Awesome to see this again. Thanks for sharing it and allowing time to read the script.
20:51 damn, Helen Hots was way hotter in the original
Tell me about it, in the remake she looks like a man with long hair.

Sonny got ripped off.His off duty car used to be a Corvette, he got downgraded to a IROC....
49:13 silk stalkings soundtrack pops up hehe (love that cop show by the way and this vid reminds me to watch the last couple of seasons haha)
Oh yeah, 'crime time after prime time'! (when it first debuted on CBS before it moved to USA) I loved that show, too.

"Backup, this is Whitey. ...I know you're gigging, please stop."

It is written in printed manual added to the game. Copy protection. You don't have the manual - you cannot go any further in the game.

Heck of a Monday, Sonny.
So Carol bribes Sonny to harass some bikers who had legally parked their bikes because she's prejudiced against them...?
*hears Sierra intro sound. Immediately likes*
I wonder why Sierra only ever remade the first part of each adventure game saga.
yeah, would have loved a PQ2 VGA, it's weird they didn't remake many others like Kings quest 2,3 and 4 and space quest 2 and 3 etc.
what audio device did you use to emulate?
EMPERORCEASAR12 I believe he was using the Roland MT-32 for the music.
The interesting thing is this game actually has a General Midi option. I'd love to hear how the music sounds on this game with a Roland JV 1080!
Much better driving in this version lol
Well, it is easier, I'll admit that.
I really liked the original game, with the NPC traffic and all. Though it was stupidly easy to die!

It was a long day it seems.

Great update on the graphics but it didn't quite have the heart of the original. The last shootout left a lot to be desired compared to the original
Yeah, I found myself missing the pimp suit and cane.
the driving interface 💀💀
I wish there will be a remake for all these sierra's classic games
I don't think anyone is buying. Nowadays people want fast action, not this puzzle type games.
