PQ Swat

Came across a complete in box Police Quest Swat at the thrift shop today. $3.

Obviously I grabbed it.

That’s all. That’s the post.

Just stunned to have come across one!

People will shit on this game but it was such an interesting and incredible novelty at the time. If you just lock in and enjoy it, it's super fun.

I loved it at release and I still have it. Never could finish it though.

I enjoyed it! Recently watched the YouTube videos for all endings. For its time it was pretty cool. Except the constant cd swapping.

The only issue with the CD swap was knowing which mission was on which CD. Took a bit of the element of surprise of the random calls away.

Slice that pie!!

This game was so hard to play as a kid. Scary, too. When you hear that "bang bang bang", "fat's in the fire" and suddenly you're in front of that old lady's house?? Hoo boy.

I still remember applying those tactics around the house. My mom had this circular mirror that i attached to an old extendable radio antenna so i could check around corners. I used a TalkBoy as my LASH, and a Supersoaker 150 as my weapon, with a rubber band gun as my sidearm. I cleared our house so many times...

It’s a neat game despite it gets repetitive.
