I don't know if I remeber wrong, but I recall that I saw an add for "police quest", and that one of the supported platforms was c64/128
I don't know if remeber wrong, but in any case its kind of weird that none of these games ever was made for the c64/128 systems since (again, if remeber right) they where made for apple II computers...

Hi there,
It's indeed in our list, but we've got no confirmation that a version was penned for the C64. We'll eventually add an archive entry, but it could be likely it was never started.
To be honest, we'd need to find an advert which states the C64 version as coming soon.
Cheers,
Frank

I spent some time thinking about it, I called my friend. He (and I) recalled that we saw a "c64/128" under an advert for police quest 2. (This could ofcourse be a typo in the advert). As for the apple II version, my buddy did some more research, and found the following on the net www.if-legends.org/~adventure/Sierra_On-Line,_Inc/KQ.html Also, recall that (atleast) two Lucasfilm games found its way to the c64. -Kudos |

If you could translate it, that would be great  ... Seems like something could have been on the cards, so I think we *will* add something eventually for the game. It might be one of those by chance titles where the developer comes across a page on it, and gets in touch. Unless we find some of the developers of the original Amiga/PC versions and see what they know of the C64 version |

hi! I have translated it, but I will let my (german) girlfriend have a look at it, before I post it. Anyway, it seems that the german c64 magazine "ASM" have a beta version of the game.
Anyway, I recall that the programmers that did the sierra games where like legends in the apple II community, and also in their 30s and 40s when the games where written, so its likely that their are retired long ago...

Here is a raw translation
No user can rember that there was any c64 port from the Sierra game police quest but there must be something because in one of the ASM (a german computer magazine) magazines (6+7/1988) is a preview test of the c64 version of Police Quest. The Reviewers of that Gamesmagazine must have some sort of Betaversion of the Game to review it. ....
here is the translation of the test
The life of a cop in America is very hard thats when you play police quest on the c64. The reason is not only that the Graphics are very bad and you can nearly reconize any police on the screen. The sprite is that bad designed that you have to be questioning how the programmers did that. But lucky enough not all is lost the game plays very well and i recommend this game to every c64 user.
Greetings Marco
