Remember Police Quest? From back in the day when games were still meant to be games, challenge players and wasn’t meant to drain your wallets dry. The man who created the series, Jim Walls is back. This time with Precinct, a police adventure game with high speed car chases and everything!
In Precinct players will take on the role of Officer Maxwell Jones in the crime-infested town of FraserCanyon, CA. Maxwell starts off as a rookie, players will move him up in the ranks while conducting real police procedures while solving crimes.
The game’s story, written by Walls himself, along with some bright Hollywood talent will feature a story based on true accounts of real life police cases. Players will play in the first-person perspective in 3D environments, solving puzzles and encountering shootouts, high speed car chases, foot pursuits and hand-to-hand combat.
The gameplay in the video shows off a great looking scene in the dark streets of FraserCanyon, with those classic neon lights added. You can tell from the interface that you’ll experience enhanced gameplay similar to the original Police Quest games, adapted to the modern video game era.
Precinct is planned to be an episodic series, released as a digital download for PC and Mac. Check out the kickstarter page, the campaign was launched today and has a goal of $500 000.

Would have preferred Space Quest or Kings Quest… Not that PQ was bad, I just liked those 2 more…
Or thats what I heard… I’m 21… True story!

They remade the Kings Quest games a while back, not anything stupendous though. tbh those type of games will never be the same if remade. Leisure Suit Larry was a good candidate, the modern animation suited it perfectly.

Me too lol. I get my first KS game next Thursday. Shadowrun Returns – please be fun!

Okay but ShadowRun looks really good! Only reason I’m skeptical about KS is getting excited and having the game not reach it’s goal

All I want is GTA where I’m on the right side of the law. Is that too much to ask for???

First you want a GTA where you are on the right side of the law. I say LA Noire, then you say something not as boring….You can’t have your cake and eat it, because the Cake is a LIE … 😛 … lol but LA Noire is damn boring

Weird stuff happening with my account. Anyway, why can’t I have my cake and eat it? If it’s good cake, why not?

LA Noire is nothing like GTA, it’s more an adventure game than anything else.

I loved the police quest games. But by that short gameplay video I can’t say I am excited. It just does not look up to par of a modern game. Perhaps they should develop it instead for tablets and the Ouya.

Not really that interested in this, of all the old Sierra quests Police Quest was my least favourite.

Yeah, can’t wait! Hope it makes it. I probably died over a thousand times in the PQ games.
But THIS is something I’m looking forward to with probably even greater excitement…
