Where doing things in the wrong order (which was explained nowhere) would lead to permadeath, or worse, getting stuck with no way to progress and no hint what you missed in a previous area you can’t return to.
All I remember from police quest is getting killed or fired for missing a step at a routine traffic stop, or forgetting to check the tire pressure every time you start driving.
In Leisure Suit Larry 1 you straight up get killed without warning if you step onto a street (run over by a car) or into a back alley (mugged and clubbed to death), or take a cab with wine in your inventory (cab driver takes it, drinks it and crashes).
I miss old PC Games from the early 90’s.
I’ve reinstalled all that I remember and they sucked, but back then, they didn’t.
I don’t know about early 90’s, but games from mid and late 90’s are bangers.
From early 90’s it’s probably just Wolfenstein 3D and Doom that were very good.
Doom was '95
It was released in late '93.
Ah ok my mistake, thanks, must have been thinking of Rise of the Triad
Check out the remake of C&C!
Also Commandos still rock IMO!
I played through it recently. It is one of the few EA titles where I will concede that they did a good job and that I feel I got my moneys worth.
NHL Hockey 95 was really good!
Police Quest.
Oh god, those old adventure games.
