Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel (Police_Quest.txt)
POLICE QUEST I SOLUTION
By THE KK CLUB. Edited by PARASITE.
Police Quest is a very long Sierra, possibly even longer than King's Quest III. Hence,
the solution file is also long. The ending sequence of the game is the longest ending sequence
of any Sierra up to this point and well worth watching. OK, enough raving, on with the solution!
You start the game in the Lytton Police Station. Go to the room on the right (the briefing
room). Use the door furthest away from you, not the closer door (which leads to the locker room).
Within the briefing room, go to the pigeonhole second-closest to the back and LOOK HOLE. You will
have received and read a note.
*** Your score is now 2 points. ***
After reading the note, move to the rear right table and GET PAPER, which you will
automatically read.
*** Your score is now 7 points. ***
Now, go to the front right table and stand at the left side of this table. This is your
assigned position for briefings.
*** Your score is now 11 points. ***
Now, watch the action. At the end of the briefing, your score will go up.
*** Your score is now 15 points. ***
Leave the briefing room and enter the other door on the right, to the locker room. Go to
your locker. Your locker is in the right bank of lockers, second from the front.
OPEN LOCKER
*** Your score is now 16 points. ***
GET BELT
*** Your score is now 17 points. ***
GET AMMO
*** Your score is now 18 points. ***
GET CASE
*** Your score is now 19 points. ***
CLOSE LOCKER
OPEN CASE
*** Your score is now 20 points. ***
GET PEN
*** Your score is now 21 points. ***
GET NOTE BOOK
*** Your score is now 22 points. ***
GET TICKET BOOK
*** Your score is now 23 points. ***
CLOSE CASE
WRITE NOTE
Write anything for a note - it doesn't matter. The only reason you need to do this
is because writing a note of any sort is worth a point.
*** Your score is now 24 points. ***
Now, leave the locker room. Go to the key board and GET KEY.
*** Your score is now 25 points. ***
Go to the table, and GET RADIO.
*** Your score is now 27 points. ***
Now, go left and then leave the next screen to the left. You will now be in the car yard. The
car assigned to you is the left front car. Go to this car, and walk around the car until you get a
message saying that the car has been checked. You will need to do this every time you take a car
out of the yard (excluding your own red corvette). If you forget, you will get a flat tire
shortly after leaving the yard.
*** Your score is now 32 points. ***
Move to the front left door of the car (this is an American game - cars drive on the
right hand side of the road and the driver sits on the left hand side of the car) and OPEN DOOR,
GET IN and CLOSE DOOR. Then, GET NIGHTSTICK.
*** Your score is now 35 points. ***
Now, GO (you can also press F4 to do the same thing), and the street map will appear. This
map is numbered as follows;
A1 A2 A3 A4
B1 B2 B3 B4
C1 C2 C3 C4
D1 D2 D3 D4
and the Police Station is located at C3. It is a good idea to SAVE the game here, as it
takes a while to locate yourself on the map the first time, and driving the car also takes
some getting used to. Drive around for a while, avoiding map reference B2, until Despatch sends
you a message. When you get this message, go to screen B2. In about the middle of the screen,
you should see a car which has hit a building. Drive up close to the scene of the accident and your
car will automatically stop. When it has stopped, STOP (or F4) and you will go from the map screen
to a more normal picture.
*** Your score is now 38 points. ***
OPEN DOOR
GET OUT
CLOSE DOOR
Go to the man in the car which has crashed.
LOOK MAN

Now, go over to the crowd of onlookers.
TALK MAN

CALL
Despatch will send some other officers over to the scene of the accident. You must now
wait for these officers to arrive. When they arrive, your score will go up.
*** Your score is now 43 points. ***
You can now go, so go back to your car, OPEN DOOR, GET IN, CLOSE DOOR and GO.
Now, drive around until Steve calls you. When he calls, go to A3 and park near the cafe
(spots where you can stop are fairly obvious in this game). STOP and your score will rise.
*** Your score is now 46 points. ***
Get out of the car and go into Carol's. Sit near Steve and wait for the phone to
ring. When the phone rings, Carol will answer it and say that it's for you. GET UP, go to the
phone and USE PHONE.
*** Your score is now 48 points. ***
Once the conversation is finished, go back to the car and drive around. Eventually, you will
be `aching to write a ticket'. When you are, go to a screen with a set of traffic lights
(eg. A2) and you will see someone go through a red light. You must chase this car. The way to
chase and stop a car is by getting precisely behind it and then speeding up. The chased car
will then automatically pull over and come to a stop, as will your own car.
You have a choice of three driving speeds in Police Quest - Code 1, Code 2 and Code 3. Code
1 is normal driving and is achieved by pressing F6. Code 2 is faster and is achieved by
pressing F8. Code 3 is police chase speed, with siren on and is achieved by pressing F10. A police
car travelling at Code 3 speed can go through red lights. It is a very good idea to SAVE the
game before beginning a chase as pulling a car over takes some practise.
When you have pulled over the car, STOP.
*** Your score is now 52 points. ***
CALL
*** Your score is now 53 points. ***
Get out of your car and walk over to the sports car.

until Despatch tells you to go to Carol's. Return to screen A3 and park. Go into
Carol's Caffeine Castle, go up to the counter and TALK TO CAROL.
*** Your score is now 61 points. ***

of your car.
Drive around until Despatch sends you a message about a stolen car in your vicinity.
SAVE the game here, especially if you only have a CGA and start chasing the cars on the screen at
the time of the message. One of them will speed up when you get close - this is the car that you
are interested in chasing. Chase this car until it pulls over and then STOP.
