POLICE QUEST I SOLUTION By THE KK CLUB. Edited by PARASITE. Police Quest is a very long Sierra, possibly even longer than King's Quest III. Hence, the solution file is also long. The ending sequence of the game is the longest ending sequence of any Sierra up to this point and well worth watching. OK, enough raving, on with the solution! You start the game in the Lytton Police Station. Go to the room on the right (the briefing room). Use the door furthest away from you, not the closer door (which leads to the locker room). Within the briefing room, go to the pigeonhole second-closest to the back and LOOK HOLE. You will have received and read a note. *** Your score is now 2 points. *** After reading the note, move to the rear right table and GET PAPER, which you will automatically read. *** Your score is now 7 points. *** Now, go to the front right table and stand at the left side of this table. This is your assigned position for briefings. *** Your score is now 11 points. *** Now, watch the action. At the end of the briefing, your score will go up. *** Your score is now 15 points. *** Leave the briefing room and enter the other door on the right, to the locker room. Go to your locker. Your locker is in the right bank of lockers, second from the front. OPEN LOCKER *** Your score is now 16 points. *** GET BELT *** Your score is now 17 points. *** GET AMMO *** Your score is now 18 points. *** GET CASE *** Your score is now 19 points. *** CLOSE LOCKER OPEN CASE *** Your score is now 20 points. *** GET PEN *** Your score is now 21 points. *** GET NOTE BOOK *** Your score is now 22 points. *** GET TICKET BOOK *** Your score is now 23 points. *** CLOSE CASE WRITE NOTE Write anything for a note - it doesn't matter. The only reason you need to do this is because writing a note of any sort is worth a point. *** Your score is now 24 points. *** Now, leave the locker room. Go to the key board and GET KEY. *** Your score is now 25 points. *** Go to the table, and GET RADIO. *** Your score is now 27 points. *** Now, go left and then leave the next screen to the left. You will now be in the car yard. The car assigned to you is the left front car. Go to this car, and walk around the car until you get a message saying that the car has been checked. You will need to do this every time you take a car out of the yard (excluding your own red corvette). If you forget, you will get a flat tire shortly after leaving the yard. *** Your score is now 32 points. *** Move to the front left door of the car (this is an American game - cars drive on the right hand side of the road and the driver sits on the left hand side of the car) and OPEN DOOR, GET IN and CLOSE DOOR. Then, GET NIGHTSTICK. *** Your score is now 35 points. *** Now, GO (you can also press F4 to do the same thing), and the street map will appear. This map is numbered as follows; A1 A2 A3 A4 B1 B2 B3 B4 C1 C2 C3 C4 D1 D2 D3 D4 and the Police Station is located at C3. It is a good idea to SAVE the game here, as it takes a while to locate yourself on the map the first time, and driving the car also takes some getting used to. Drive around for a while, avoiding map reference B2, until Despatch sends you a message. When you get this message, go to screen B2. In about the middle of the screen, you should see a car which has hit a building. Drive up close to the scene of the accident and your car will automatically stop. When it has stopped, STOP (or F4) and you will go from the map screen to a more normal picture. *** Your score is now 38 points. *** OPEN DOOR GET OUT CLOSE DOOR Go to the man in the car which has crashed. LOOK MAN LOOK MAN Now, go over to the crowd of onlookers. TALK MAN TALK MAN CALL Despatch will send some other officers over to the scene of the accident. You must now wait for these officers to arrive. When they arrive, your score will go up. *** Your score is now 43 points. *** You can now go, so go back to your car, OPEN DOOR, GET IN, CLOSE DOOR and GO. Now, drive around until Steve calls you. When he calls, go to A3 and park near the cafe (spots where you can stop are fairly obvious in this game). STOP and your score will rise. *** Your score is now 46 points. *** Get out of the car and go into Carol's. Sit near Steve and wait for the phone to ring. When the phone rings, Carol will answer it and say that it's for you. GET UP, go to the phone and USE PHONE. *** Your score is now 48 points. *** Once the conversation is finished, go back to the car and drive around. Eventually, you will be `aching to write a ticket'. When you are, go to a screen with a set of traffic lights (eg. A2) and you will see someone go through a red light. You must chase this car. The way to chase and stop a car is by getting precisely behind it and then speeding up. The chased car will then automatically pull over and come to a stop, as will your own car. You have a choice of three driving speeds in Police Quest - Code 1, Code 2 and Code 3. Code 1 is normal driving and is achieved by pressing F6. Code 2 is faster and is achieved by pressing F8. Code 3 is police chase speed, with siren on and is achieved by pressing F10. A police car travelling at Code 3 speed can go through red lights. It is a very good idea to SAVE the game before beginning a chase as pulling a car over takes some practise. When you have pulled over the car, STOP. *** Your score is now 52 points. *** CALL *** Your score is now 53 points. *** Get out of your car and walk over to the sports car. LOOK AT GIRL ASK FOR LICENSE WRITE TICKET WRITE TICKET RETURN LICENSE SIGN TICKET GIVE TICKET *** Your score is now 58 points. *** You can try letting the girl off, and ringing the number, but you have been warned... After you have given the girl a ticket, go back to your car and continue cruising the streets until Despatch tells you to go to Carol's. Return to screen A3 and park. Go into Carol's Caffeine Castle, go up to the counter and TALK TO CAROL. *** Your score is now 61 points. *** Leave Carol's and go next door (Wino Willy's). Go up to the head bikie and SAY "MOVE BIKES" USE NIGHTSTICK *** Your score is now 66 points. *** Go back to cruising the streets until you see a car driving erratically (the game will tell you when you see it). Pull this car up and STOP. *** Your score is now 69 points. *** CALL *** Your score is now 70 points. *** Go up to the driver and say; GET OUT ADMINISTER FST *** Your score is now 73 points. *** ARREST MAN *** Your score is now 76 points. *** HANDCUFF MAN NO Go back to the police car and open the passenger door.

Once at the jail, STOP, get out, open the passenger door and then close the doors. Always close car doors when you are getting out of your car, or your car will be stolen. Walk up the steps of the jail with your prisoner and go up to the lockers. OPEN LOCKER PUT GUN IN LOCKER *** Your score is now 78 points. *** CLOSE LOCKER Any time that you want to enter the jail, you should put your gun in the gun locker, or you will lose points.

At the Police Station, STOP DROP NIGHTSTICK and get out of the car. Walk into the Police Station and go up to the table. WRITE MEMO PUT MEMO IN BASKET *** Your score is now 82 points. *** Now, keep walking until you get back to the room you started the adventure in. Several policemen will be walking around in this room. Enter Dooley's office (the left door) and watch the action for a while, then leave Dooley's office.

Drive around until Despatch sends you a message about a stolen car in your vicinity. SAVE the game here, especially if you only have a CGA and start chasing the cars on the screen at the time of the message. One of them will speed up when you get close - this is the car that you are interested in chasing. Chase this car until it pulls over and then STOP. *** Your score is now 101 points. *** CALL and wait for assistance to arrive. Once your backup is in place, OPEN DOOR and GET OUT.
