Police Quest: SWAT (1995) - The Old Lady

The Swat Pup works his first call with the rest of D-Platoon. A Mentally ill woman has barricaded herself in her own home with a weapon.
Police Quest : SWAT is available on GOG.com

I'm glad the old lady was treated compassionately and kindly by the SWAT, in this run-through of the scenario, at least.

[@TheRetrostorian]

I mean you can also shoot her but rooker gets super mad at you. Tbf she shot me like 1000 times so fair play.

@@TheRetrostorian If there's a Wreck-It Ralph III, I hope Sierra FMV characters show up. The things these characters could say to each other, when they're 'off the clock-cycles'...

[@TheRetrostorian]

@CarletonTorpin They'd have to clear it through Microsoft, they own the rights to all Sierra games. Would be cool if the plot was breaking them out of microsoft's "non optimal" game server 😆

[@CarletonTorpin]

The scene with Mr. Devon reminds me of the scene in Wayne's World 2, when Charlton Heston steps in to replace a less-accomplished bit-part actor.

[@TheRetrostorian]

Exactly 💯 good reference.

The concept of knock down power with a 45 is a myth.

[@TheRetrostorian]

Yeah but they're bigger and scarier and louder and SWAT is really into pageantry.

[@RavenloftLore]

Man this one's giving me Phantasmagoria vibes! FMV FTW!

[@TheRetrostorian]

I love FMV, it was so cool in it's time and some of it was done really well. The gameplay is not good but this is high quality visuals for 95.

There is such bad Chroma Key here, used in places where you didn't need to use Chroma Key....

[@TheRetrostorian]

Among the many crimes of FMV, SWAT 1 offends little. There's a reason they don't use this style anymore but damn if it's not iconic to my childhood. It was SO COOL at the time.
