Police Quest...
« on: February 26, 2012, 03:01:54 am »

I was looking for a similar game like the police quest series but it seems there is no other game out there with a similar realistic police/FBI setting? (Yeah, I know the SWAT series)

There's always Emergency 2012 and it's predecessors, but they really are irredeemably shit.

If that doesn't float your boat, Police Force is pretty much the pinnacle of PC gaming.

@lordcooper: have you played it? It got pretty terrible ratings in a game magazine...

There's a game called Police Force. It's terribly boring though, at least in my opinion.

If you liked police quest, you might like KGB, a 1992 adventure game, set in perestroika era USSR, where the events requred to solve puzzles are all timed (you have to be there at a certain time, or you miss it) and the character's names are unpronounceable (so I'm told- being of Eastern European descent, I had no trouble). Still it's a fairly realistic FBI-like setting.

Screw the children! I'm thinking of morbid curiosity that holds no bounds!
I must know what is within his head if I am to shrink myself, climb into his ear and take control of him!

I'm hardly going to tell you now.

This game is great. Despite being set in Germany, you can be the most dickish cop ever and not get reprimanded. Rioters with bats? Shoot them to death. Minorities with expensive cars? Pepper spray them and have them taken away. Don't drive over civilians though, unless you want your shift to end.

Game called Blue Force, made by a former Police Quest designer and Tsunami games. Old, dos, and most likely impossible to find, but I have... memories of that game... Perhaps not good ones... but memories nonetheless.
