Gates’ Police Quest® Collection: The Four Most Wanted™. In this Police Quest Collection you will encounter the same challenges that law enforcement officers face everyday. Jim Walls, California Highway Patrol, Retired, and I worked hard to design these Police Quest games to provide a realistic, inside look at the life of a cop. With The Four Most Wanted you will experience real police work just like we did. This collection includes not only every Police Quest Game to date - Police Quest 1 VGA, 2, 3 & 4 (my next Game “Police Quest: SWAT” is due out in the Fall of 1995). It also includes a preview of Police Quest SWAT, a video interview where I answer questions submitted by Police Quest Fans, a never-before-seen “Making Of Police Quest” video, and, because all cops need hints now and then, we have included all of the Official Sierra Hint Book Tips. Plus much more! When you play the games in this Collection, please remember that you are looking at the evolution of computer entertainment software. While the early games may lack some modern day technological flair, they have a unique quality all their own. I hope that you will enjoy them in the same nostalgic spirit as you would a classic black and white film. And, remember, they are still as real as you can get - without wearing a badge! Law enforcement is one of the most difficult, challenging, invigorating and rewarding professions that anyone can pursue. I am proud to have served my fellow citizens for more than 40 years, experiencing all of the dangers, joys and heartbreaks that come with being a police officer. And, I offer the greatest of praise and admiration for all of my fellow men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line everyday. I dedicate this Collection to them. Please enjoy The Daryl F. Gates’ Police Quest Collection: The Four Most Wanted. Sincerely, Daryl F. Gates Chief, Los Angeles Police Department, Retired Daryl F.Gates • POLICE QUEST COLLECTION PARSER VS.POINT- AND-CLICK I NTERFACES & SAVE & RESTORE: A Parser Interface is found in Police Quest 2. With a Parser Interface the player types instructions at the cursor on the screen. While playing Police Quest 2, the Parser Interface Cursor appears as you begin typing. If, for example, while playing the game, you want to open a desk drawer, at the Parser Interface Cursor you simply type OPEN DRAWER. If the Parser Interface recognizes the words, the action will be completed and you are ready to proceed with another Parser command. If the Parser Interface does not recognize the words, you will get a message asking you to try another word or combination of words - such as UNLOCK DRAWER or OPEN DESK DRAWER. With the Parser Interface, try many different combinations of words and see what results. You never know what you’ll discover. But remember - just like real police work, you live and die by your quick wits and smart decisions. That’s why we have the SAVE and RESTORE features. Remember to SAVE often (like whenever you make a new discovery). Saving often will help you avoid dead-ends, and RESTORE will let you return to the place that you may have made a poor decision. The Point-and-Click Interface uses an Icon Bar that is either at the top or bottom of the screen. The Icon Bar contains several Graphical Icons that can be selected to execute the command choices available to you. To open the Icon Bar, move the cursor all the way to the top or bottom of the screen. In Police Quest 1,VGA and in Police Quest 3, move the cursor all the way to the top of the screen. In Police Quest 4, move the cursor to the bottom. This will reveal the Icons that are available to you. These Icons may vary from game to game. If you are unsure of the Icon’s purpose, click the HELP symbol (the Question Mark) then click on the Icon in question.
