Let's Play Police Quest 2 part 1: vengeance in the air

Sonny Bonds is back with a whole new mission. He begins this seemingly routine work day by finding out that Jessie Bains, the Death Angel from the first game, is up for a retrial. This can't possibly end badly.

By the way, in the first game, Sonny kept his personal car keys in his locker. In this game, he keeps his wallet in his desk drawer. Why?! We know the man has pockets, just check his inventory by the end of a game. How does he even get anything done outside of work?

Wait, wait!! Can you read that last line again? I don't speak english...

I said, "I'll stop the video here, and I'll catch you later!" I usually end my videos with "Later."

In the original Police Quest 1 Sonny had black hair, he is blonde in this one and reddish-brown in 3 and the VGA remake of 1. I do not know any other game main character who dyes his hair as much. At least outside games that let you customize your appearance to hell and back.

[LateBlt]

Well, bear in mind, he dyed his hair blonde near the end of PQ1. Maybe the blonde hair from PQ2 was just residual from that. The hair color in PQ3 would probably be his "true" hair color, as renderable for the first time in 256 colors, and which was rounded off to black in the 16-color engine of PQ1.

I was going to mention that this game takes place a year later, but then I remembered Laura is the Gremlin, and she's the one who provided the bleach. Giving Sonny super strength hair bleach that lasts over a year seems just about right!

[BobbySummers]

One character I can think of is in the Lucasfilm game Zak McKracken. One of the girls on Mars has a different hair color every time she takes off her helmet. If you do it enough I think she goes through the whole 16 color spectrum except for her skin color.

Apparently, Sonny traded in his Vette and it got sold to Pate.

[notapplicable66]

Sonny while single has a vette, soon as he gets hooked up with Marie he gets a practical car. And so is the story of life. LOL!!

The japanese version of this game got raped. Take a look at it.

[assfax]

Jesus Christ. I'm up at the door wondering why in the hell I can't open it and my keys were still in the goddamn ignition? I usually don't leave them in once I get out.

[PhantomJerad]

@hsuehhs Yeah can you Please?

[SamonMarquis]

The most points I ever got in this game was 220 -- keep in mind, that was in the days BEFORE the internet, when one can simply go online to find hints.

[pattypopping]

Bobby, I love your work..so nice there are people besides me who played the games.

[Akaalis]

oh man, Warcraft, Wolfenstein 3-d, The Abyss, those were the days

[KiethSomataw99]

Can you do a playthrough for the game Police Quest: The Death Angel in the original typing form and post it on youtube?

[hsuehhs]

Can you do Police Quest 3?

[Diamondfist1]

I love how you were going to search for evidence, and then remembered that you were in your car! Great laughs and fun! You know you're not supposed to narc on yourself! Nice video, by the way.
