An obvious point to make, but the mandatory sub simulation scenes really ruin the game for me. I wish there were a way to bypass them, because I feel like most folks never get a chance to play what would otherwise be a really intersting game: a Jim Walls-designed, non-police themed, late SCI0 advent...

I believe Police Quest 1, for example, had blue labels with a custom font and bullet-hole design, on both 3.5 and 5.25 media. But later games have a kind of generic label where the title and disk number are printed...
