Police Quest 1 (VGA) Walkthrough Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel (VGA) is the remake of the original adventure game by Sierra On-Line and was released in 1992. It features enhanced VGA graphics with 256 colors and mouse controls instead of the need for a text parser. In Police Quest you play the role of police officer Sonny Bonds who is sent out on patrol to deal with crime in the streets. Eventually you’ll be promoted to the narcotics office and sent out on an undercover operation to catch the notorious Death Angel. Click on the map to see a larger image. In the VGA version of Police Quest you can use the Eye Icon on any of the streets or buildings to find out what it is. You’ll also have a short driving tutorial the first time you get in the car. The VGA version of the map is slightly different. Cotton Cove is still in the bottom right corner but Bert’s Park where the drug bust takes place is just above it. You begin in the main hall of the Lytton Police Station. Take a closer look at the bottom right notice on the noticeboard. There’s a position open for an officer in the narcotics unit. Walk to the right and enter the locker room (top right door). You only have a short amount of time before your briefing begins so get ready quickly. The Briefing Open your locker which is in the middle row and use the combination 269 to unlock it. Pick up the Towel, close the locker and stand under the shower. After the shower return to your locker and wear your Police Uniform. Also make sure you have the Gun, Nightstick and Ticket Book. Close the locker and leave the room. Enter the briefing room which is the top door on the left. Read the Newspaper on one of the tables for an update on the local news. Take a look in your pigeon hole for a Note from Steve about wanting to catch up at Carol’s later in the shift. Soon the briefing will begin and you’ll be given your call sign. After the briefing leave the room and walk to the left. Just to the left of the lift are application forms that you can use to request a promotion to the narcotics division. You may as well do this now. Just click on the wall to the left of the lift to take an application. Once it’s been filled out walk to the left to leave the building. Do one full lap around the patrol car to complete the vehicle inspection and then click on the car door to get in. Car Crash As this is your first time driving the car you’ll be given a little tutorial on how to navigate your way around the map. Drive around the streets for a minute or two until you’re given a notification of a traffic accident on Fig St. between Third and Fourth St. Drive over to the location. You’ll automatically stop at the site when you are on the right street. Get out of the car and look at the man in the crashed car until you see a close up of his head. Speak with the crowd of spectators and one of them will come forwards. Talk to him again and he’ll give you some clues as to who the perpetrator is. Use your Radio to call dispatch and they’ll send out the detective. Once the detective arrives he’ll tell you that he has it covered and that you should get back out on the streets. Caffeine Carol’s After a minute or two of driving Steve will call and tell you that he’s ready to catch up at Caffeine Carol’s. This cafe is located on Oak St. between Sixth and Seventh St. Make your way there and go inside. Sit down at one of the stools and have a chat with Steve. Pretty soon the phone will ring. Carol will answer it and tell you that that the detective wants to speak with you. Stand up and use the phone. After the chat speak with Steve again and then leave the cafe. Hop back into your car and start patrolling the streets once more. Speeding Driver Drive around the streets until you see a red car speeding through an intersection. Put on your Sirens and then follow the car. You’ll pull her over. Use your Radio to inquire about the number plate of the car. Get out of your car and look at the lady. Speak to the lady and she’ll show you her ID. Open your inventory and use the Pen on the Ticket Book to write her a Ticket. Give the lady the Ticket. You’ll have the option to issue a warning or to give her the ticket. I think you’ll get the most points by giving her the ticket. She screams her head off at you but just ignore her and go back to the patrol car. Start driving around the streets until you receive the next notification. Carol’s Complaint After a while the station will radio in saying that Carol has a complaint. Head over to Caffeine Carol’s and enter the cafe. Speak with Carol. Apparently the customers at Wino Willy’s have been using her parking spots to park their bikes. Leave the cafe, go down the alley and enter Wino Willy’s. As you approach the bikers they’ll come at you in a threatening manner. Use the Nightstick on the nearest biker to scare them off. Talk to the lady, Marie, standing by the jukebox. She’ll give you some information about a new drug dealers in the area including Hoffman, with a tattoo on his chest and Baine, the drug lord. Leave Willy’s and enter Carol’s cafe. Talk to her again to let her know the problem has been sorted out. Leave the cafe, get back into your patrol car and start patrolling the streets yet again.
