Made a start on Police Quest III: The Kindred this evening. So far I'm liking it… apart from the driving, which is somehow even more rubbish than in Police Quest, but I can live with it for the moment.
I greatly appreciate how this series has "escalated" with each new installment; while an early part of Police Quest III does see Sonny Bonds back on the traffic beat for a short period — they're always understaffed, you know — for the most part, each new game has significantly upped the stakes in terms of "seriousness".
I was surprised how invested I was when the major crime of the first part of Police Quest III — I'm being vague for the benefit of those interested in playing it — was perpetrated, and the impact it had on Sonny. I'm definitely interested to see where it goes — and, looking through the credits (or rather the in-game "personnel" file) I see that Jane Jensen had some involvement with this one. I can tell!
It's actually been quite some time since I played any Sierra games with any seriousness, so trying these games for the first time has been a real pleasure. It's encouraging me to check out some others I've never tried, too; I've got my eye on the two Laura Bow adventures after I'm done with Police Quest.
Anyway, for now I must tear myself away from old PC games and hit the hay. Didn't sleep all that well last night, so hoping I have a more restful night tonight — though with the heat the way it is right now, I'm not counting on it.
This month's Patreon shenanigans have gone through, so thank you once again for all your support (and welcome to the few new and returning Patrons from the last few days!); S-Rank Patrons, I'll get you a new wallpaper either towards the end of this week or at the start of next. I'm away this weekend, otherwise I'd take care of it then!
Anyway. G'night. Have a good evening!
