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?
I would argue Planescape Torment was the best game story ever written.
2nd best story is Star Control 2 http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ playable on modern systems. But you need to be able to handle the interface and controls of the gaming before times.
One of the first "open world" (open galaxy?) experiences where you can explore in almost any order but you find clues to the big mystery everywhere.
You have excellent taste. Neither game has been matched since.
Also some of the best strange one-liners.
"Our reinforcement procedures on your landers are complete. Now if your crew will stop putting their hands out the windows, they will be protected against hostile life-forms."
"Juffo-Wup fills in my fibers and I grow turgid. Violent action ensues."
"Let's be special together. <Spicy games> are fun."
The writers must have been on DMT.
Thanks!
