Police Quest: Daryl F. Gates' Open Season, also known as Police Quest 4: Open Season, is the most realistic crime solving game I have ever played. The game centers on a serial killer who terrorizes the citizens of Los Angeles. Who shall be the next victim? It is "open season" on everyone, hence the title of this game.

You play the role of John Carey, a detective of the Los Angeles Police…

The best part of the game is free-wheeling you can do with your inventory and icon controls. Hahhaha. Click every item on everything and you get some stock answers and some really screwy ones. Even for Sierra.

I love this game. I have the compilation for XP and have played 1, 2 and 3 and now am playing 4. The problem is, I can't end day 4 (Wednesday). I have followed a step-by-step walkthrough to the letter, but I never see Sherry and the news team so the day won't end. I've started at my saved begin Day 4 at least 5 times, and I've tried everything possible - can't talk to the coroner after I qualify at the range - Sherry tells me he is busy - honest! When I get to Hollywood and Vine and talk to the proprietor of Ragin' Records, I never get the dialog option to discuss the police vehicle - only the Ford Tempo - I think he is the trigger I need to end the day, but I can't force the police car option. I have searched everywhere on the internet to find help for this to no avail.

The Police Quest games were GREAT SUCH FUN - Too bad they came out with the swat team game - it was so in to the different weapons and ammunition that they forgot it was to play and enjoy with having fun. Bought it and after two hours ditched it.
