Play Daryl F. Gates’ Police Quest: Open Season Online

Police Quest: Open Season came out in 1993, part of Sierra On-Line's classic MS-DOS lineup. It was the fourth game in the Police Quest series, and it continued their focus on police procedure and detective work. At the time, it fit right in with other point and click adventures, though it leaned more toward realism than fantasy or sci-fi.

You play as Detective Carey, investigating a series of murders in a fictional California city. The game involves examining crime scenes for clues, collecting evidence, and interviewing witnesses or suspects. Key mechanics include the careful use of forensic tools, like fingerprint dusting kits, and making sure you follow proper protocol during arrests and interrogations. The pacing is deliberate, and mistakes can lead to dead ends or failure, demanding attention to detail. Playing it feels like walking a tightrope between thorough police work and the pressure of an unsolved case.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
