As an 80s baby I grew up playing Sierra games on PC and one series my brother and I would play a lot was the Police Quest series (along with Space Quest). I found a website where you could play Sierra games (first one I played was Leisure Suit Larry since I wasn't allowed to play it as a kid) and I am considering doing a replay of the Police Quest games and basically a total retro gaming dive until Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 comes out (my main gaming at the moment is Modded Skyrim, Sims, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla).
Can anyone recommend any good cop games whether old or new?
Did you ever play the Tex Murphy series?
Quick synopsis: you're a detective in a post nuclear-war future trying to make ends meet. You're given an assignment that eventually ends up drags you into a conspiracy involving a plot to take over the world.
The game has lots of humor in it, quite a bit of puzzles, and the storyline is great.
Here's a link on GOG, sorted by oldest to newest, so you can start from the beginning.

You can also get it on Steam

If you wait for a sale, you can get the games for dirt cheap.
Cool! Will check it out. Thanks!
No problem. 👍
If you're looking for something more light-hearted, check out the Sam and Max series.
It's detective work with puzzles.
Here's a video of the first game, check out the first 5 minutes to see if it's something you'd be interested in.
