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?
Currently, only the "Enhanced Edition" of Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 seems to be for sale anywhere, a version updated in 2013 of a game that came out originally in 1998. I think it's highly arguable whether it's actually better than the original + a couple of mods. What makes it worse is that Beamdog- the company who "enhanced" it, not the company that originally made it- are SJWs and injected their own characters and writing into the game instead of just updating it for current computers, and then proceeded to take down sales of the original so you can't even buy it except their version. New characters include a character who announces himself as trans in the three dialogue lines you have with them. So they took a classic game, added their own shitty shoehorned agenda-driven writing, and removed the originals from sale.
So pirate the originals in good conscience. You can get them from gog-games.com.
The good news is that Larian are developing Baldur's Gate 3, after having made Divinity: Original Sin 1 & 2, the best RPGs to come out in the last ten years.
I've got the GoG installers for the original versions if we need to make this happen.
Nice offer, but I should have been a bit more clear: gog-games.com is not official GOG, it's a site that hosts the GOG installers for free. It's a piracy site. The official GOG site doesn't list the original BG games any more, but gog-games still does.
You still have access to them, but you can can't purchase them without giving money to Beamdog now as far as I can tell.
I’ve played the unfinished BG3 and it’s pretty great. I just wish it would come out soon. :(
I wish it was actually BG3 and not some other game wearing it's skin.
