In most computer games, you put yourself in the role of hero who is somehow charismatic, or underdog. Sometimes you even play the role of villain (which is good in some way), but rarely you play the role of the uniform cop, because it's not very popular and interesting. This is trying to change the ​​adventure game from Sierra - Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel. If you think this game is similar to Leisure suit Larry, you're right, the game is from the same company, released in the same year. Unlike Larry, there is nothing erotic about this game, but don't worry, there is still great humor and funny situations. You play as a cop, whose first task is to get out of the police station and start to investigate.

The first installment in the Police Quest series, detective stories by police investigator Sonny Bonds. The story takes place in the fictional town of Lytton, California in 1983, where Sonny fights against an expanding amount of drug crimes and gradually gets on the trail of a dangerous drug dealer and murderer called "Death Angel". This is a classic adventure game based on solving various puzzles and following police procedures during the investigation. The graphic side of the game is rendered in EGA, so it only has 16 colors. All interaction is through the command line. Compared to the other games that Sierra released in the 1980s (Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, King's Quest and others), Police Quest is the most serious and serious.
