• Police Quest 4: Open Season

Series:

• Anvilicious:
  • Failing to follow law and procedures will make you lose the game. Many players would act the way they saw police officers behave on TV or in movies, but in these games that results in others getting hurt or killed. There were even people asking why you couldn't just take out your gun and shoot everyone.
  • Drugs Are Bad. Characters frequently make their hatred for drug dealers very clear.
• Awesome Music:
  • The soundtracks for PQ1VGA and PQ3 are excellent, due to being composed by Jan Hammer. (Yes, that Jan Hammer.)
  • The music in PQ4 by Neil Grandstaff is also fantastic and made to take advantage of the new Sound Blaster sound cards. It's advertised as going for rock, rap, and hiphop, which it delivers. Tunes out of those genres include the moody Rainbow Cafe theme, the catchy and energetic Bitty Kitty Club theme, or the peaceful Griffith Park theme which wouldn't be out of place in a Disney movie.
• Values Dissonance: Suffice to say, people often find the premise that you have to follow procedure otherwise you get a game over a little harder to swallow these days after Police Brutality and the militarisation of American police has been brought to greater attention.
