Haha it was so fun to save and then fool around in this game. You got most of the good ones. I loved going to the bar and ordering drinks while on duty
One that hasn't been mentioned on comments nor on the video: if you fall from the highway while driving, the game will remark you're playing Police Quest, not an helicopter simulator.
There's 3 more deaths I remember as a kid playing this, one when you load your gun and type fire while you have it holstered and you blow your foot off. The other is if you lose all your money playing poker. Finally, in the last part, if you radio for help AFTER you walk into bain's hotelroom, you get killed just as your backup shows up and shoots Baines. It says you die in the line of duty.
Part of the game is obeying police procedure, violating it ends the game. Part of the "procedure" is doing a walk-around/safety check of your car before getting in it and driving off. Failure to do so gets you a flat tire shortly after leaving the station. Game over. You're not "dead" but you didn't follow procedure so, Game Over.
@@brianstraight9308 Maybe Lytton was more relaxed with their laws on police wearing towels? Remember this was a long time ago and most of us who played this game had previously found three famed treasures to restore a kingdom and made a knight into a king. 😄
8:55 You can indeed die by falling into the river in this game. Overall, it's as if this Police Quest game is meant to be an Edutainment tool for future Police Officer or Police Officer in training. Honestly, no random break down if you didn't check your car? It's just 'No Check, Will Break Down'. Isn't the job of the PD's mechanic is to check its cars? And not the in-duty officers? Can you imagine a scene like this in a Batman story? The Joker phoned Gotham PD that he'll commit a crime at a certain place; then a squad of Police Cars quickly rushed to the scene without 'Check Car'. On their way, the cars lose their wheels and the Joker got away. That being said, the game does NOT penalize you from having sex with Helen/Eve, it just doesn't give you any point for ticketing her.
you forgot about: failing to safety check the patrol car walking back into the station with the nightstick before you change jobs failing to get the money after getting changed for the hotel operation (which you don't realise till you try to check in)
@TehEPICD00D Hmm, I guess "fatal" isn't an accurate word to use. It probably would get him fired, though, and since you have to stay on the force in order to complete the game you might as well be dead.
I'm not exactly sure of the context,but if you die from removing your clothes,you may want to rethink living. 'course,you probably no longer havbe a say in the matter,but still.

I had a pirate copy I got off a friend on a 5.25" floppy. It ran on my 25Mhz 386 running DOS 3.1. Classic memory.
I found my first copy among a pile of 3.5" amiga disks
wow it's still better than COD
Good times, basically my first ever english lessons.

lol guilty of all when figuring out this game. What a time period then- games were awesome.

granpapi29 I remember and have done all three. I remember firing without taking out of holster and Sonny just disappears!
When you stop the blue car, you and the suspect can both shoot each other at the same time. The message will say, "If it's a tie, you lose."
I remember once making a suspect stop, put his hands up, and...
And...
I shot him!!!
05:51
Just shoot!! Don’t advance.
I like that you are "game over" just because a woman sees you wearing only a towel

@@brianstraight9308 Is there a police procedure of not wearing towels outside of locker rooms? 🤭
@@Daud76 Probably falls in the category of "professionalism" and all of that.

I have such fond memories of this game, driving was crazy hard but fun.
here are also several messages about the game not being leisure suite Larry. i love it when I get that message...
After successfully ousting the bike gang from Wino Willy's, go ahead of dartboard and "get darts"
I didn't even know HALF of those existed! Seriously, the give uniform was the funniest...
I have had every single one of these messages. Good times. Good times indeed...
LOL THE PIG MANUAL
At 3:03, it looks like that the guy in the Bandana is walking in place one your feet... It's like he's trying to step on your legs so you can't walk.
9:46 , WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!? HOWD U GET UP THERE????
@KiethSomataw99 Strangely for a Sierra game, no. There are no high places in Police Quest 1 to fall from.

..and I always wondered why those other two cops just watch as you drown! Guess Sonny was the odd man out. 😄
3:49 lmao @ Bubba in the cell
The only thing I remember about this game is that you could not beat the ending if you didn't have your gun sights aligned properly at the range.
That was Police Quest 2
3:02 In Lytton, bikers are known for their notorius 'threadmill death'
@KihOshk Well, you don't die; you're just stranded with a flat tire. Of course, Sonny could radio for help, but it would be embarrassing.
you forgot about:
failing to safety check the patrol car
walking back into the station with the nightstick before you change jobs
failing to get the money after getting changed for the hotel operation (which you don't realise till you try to check in)
A couple others; running past a red light, crashing on the highway's walls, having alcohol on duty
Awesome - thanks for making this!
nah i played it on a 10mhz,10mb hd and an orange monochrome monitor...lol....good times
rabidscoobie dude...same.
Prodigy was my first online experience.
ATDT 2400-baud.
No one will understand that under 35
This was why they had save game
What can I do?...
@TehEPICD00D Hmm, I guess "fatal" isn't an accurate word to use. It probably would get him fired, though, and since you have to stay on the force in order to complete the game you might as well be dead.
I remember getting into the more serious parts of this game where you'd draw your gun on a guy....and dropping my pants. Hey, I was 10....
I'm not exactly sure of the context,but if you die from removing your clothes,you may want to rethink living.
'course,you probably no longer havbe a say in the matter,but still.
You don't "die" but it does end the game.
9:47
How did he get up there?
9 years layer XD, but there are debugging tools integrated in the game, they are activated by alt+d or something like that.
@@hectorgh9231 ..and one year later for me. 🤭 ALT D to enter debugging mode. Then type "tp" and choose room to be teleported to. 😉
I remember the lady and the sex command thingie LOL!
Hehe, funny!
I wanna play this game!
@PhatFarm60 I was doing that the other day. I typed "asshole" and it said "Found on a male." And I was like "Well, no, not exclusively..."
LMAO at 7:38
8:58 Funny =))
Everything is happening so fast in this video it’s kinda hard to enjoy it
You might want to lower the playback speed to x 0.25
The evidence cop is a jerk.
why the hell does taking your clothes off in the shower kill you
Dying of embarrassment, perhaps? 😄
Its too fast to read
hahaha
