Here is perhaps one of the first games Sierra ever made that was of a serious nature. The previous ones were either fantasy or sci-fi (or even pornographic fantasy), but none had this drama and realism. Written by actual ex-cop Jim Walls, this game boasted actually making the player feel and understand being a police officer.

Plot: An evil has fallen over the city of Lytton. The mysterious and dreaded Death Angel has claimed the city for his own underground ventures. It is up to the local police department to stop him. You are Sonny Bonds, a local cop, who will soon delve into a world of crime and cabal. Start out by going on some routine missions, and eventually find yourself face to face with the Death Angel himself. Who is the Death Angel? Find out in this trilling and exciting police drama.

Availability: This title should currently be available in the Police Quest series CD-ROM collection.
