Police Quest: SWEAT: A police themed exercise program. Lose weight while chasing suspects and tackling them down.

[Rath Darkblade]

Police Quest: SWOT. Join our hero/heroine as he/she tries to memorise everything for the final exam to pass out of the Police Academy and become a real cop!

(Notice: the above game has nothing whatsoever to do with any of the Police Academy movies. Thank gawd)

[Tawmis]

Police Quest: SNOT. It's the cross over everyone wanted! Cold Quest! meets Police Quest as Sonny Bond's son, "Snot" James Bond (often pronounced "It's Not James Bond") fights off a cold as he goes through the first day at the academy!

[Rath Darkblade]

Police Quest: HOT. Ladies, lock up your daughters -- Leisure Suit Larry's in town, and he brought a friend!



Can Sonny Bonds catch 'em in the act and cuff 'em for harassing the young ladies who are 'out on the town'? (Not to mention "lewd behaviour")?

[Tawmis]

Softcorn Adventure - You're a piece of corn that's fallen off - and while the rest of your companions have gone on to become delicious popcorn - you, a sole corn kernel must now find your way into a movie theater - and a way to become POPCORN! Did we mention this is a text adventure game? Kids love retro.

Dare I say it ... do you find yourself in a maize of twisty little passages?

Release Quest. You've committed a crime in Lytton, and Sonny Bonds caught you and brought you into jail.

Your quest is to expedite your release by showing the parole board how penitent you are. Whether that's real or pretend-penitence is up to you, of course. In the meantime, you must survive in jail and work your way through a maze of conflicting options! Do you join a gang, or stay a loner? Do you help Mr Big who smuggles in drugs, or his rival who smuggles in cigarettes? Do you learn a trade or join the boxing team? And so on.

I'm picturing this as a realistic, but compassionate, look at prison life. Some prisoners are first-timers and therefore scared (and perhaps a little naive). Some are tough old-timers. Some are lifers, some are not. Some learn from their mistakes, some remain scumbags (even inside).

Could this work? I don't know... what do you think?

[Tawmis]

Dare I say it ... do you find yourself in a maize of twisty little passages?

Yes. It was bugging and full of corny kernel errors.

[Semi-Happy Partygoer]

Police Quest: Urine Trouble. It was supposed to be a laid back vacation in Los Angeles, visiting the stars - instead - Larry Laffer peed in an alleyway and was spotted by Marie - and then Sonny saw it too! Now Sonny must track down Larry Laffer for indecent exposure!

Spelling Bungle: In this age of hasty text messaging, who can be expected to spell anything correctly? In this game, poor language skills are rewarded! The more incorrect letters you collect and the more mistakes you make, the more points you get!

Air F*cks: Sims game where you play a frequent flyer businessman who constantly takes part in the mile-high club.

Braces of the Pacific: The enthralling adventures of an orthodontist living in Hawaii.

Early Meth: Get your kids “breaking bad” early in life with this handy training program.

[Tawmis]

Legend of Purr-andia! - You're a lawyer, posing as a cat, helping various characters get out of unusual punishment.

[Rath Darkblade]

Oh, Avoozl. Tawm, that's ... purrfect.

(SHP, I don't think I know what "Air F*cks" is a parody of? I think I've heard of the others, though -- Spelling Jumble, Aices of the Pacific and Early Math)?

Mystery Grouse. A medium-sized game bird complains. No-one knows why.

Oh, Avoozl. Tawm, that's ... purrfect.

(SHP, I don't think I know what "Air F*cks" is a parody of?

It's a parody of an 1992 airline business management game called Air Bucks that was developed by Impressions and published by Sierra.

Hah! I am gonna veer this off topic for a second - because you reminded me of a site I've not looked at in a very, very long time.
So back in the day - 20 years ago - my friend, Adam (who does the voice of Grayson in Neverending Nights) - we used to always get really into Halloween at his house - and he lived on GROUSE street.
One day (specifically in the year 2000) - we decided to come up with a story. And thought we'd do the Blair Witch thing - and printed out this story - about the haunted graveyard on Grouse Street - haunted by old miners.
We included photos in the letter (printed in the letter) - and put them in about 100 to 200 houses around the neighborhood's mailbox.
All of which pointed to this site - Grouse Street Graveyard.

[Rath Darkblade]

No wonder I'd never hard of Air Bucks, then. I was much younger (and stupider?) then, and didn't see the appeal. Thanks, DPX.

Tawm. I bet there were quite a few confused folks in the days and weeks after that, looking for a graveyard that didn't exist.

Well, it mentions "this Halloween" and had Adam's address.
In hopes of attracting people!

I miss these days....
