It was a great game back in the day. The first one works as one of those "type what you want to do" types of games. It is REALLY in depth in terms of police procedures, etc.
This was a game we got to play in school after-hours, it was a blast typing random things and seeing what happened (sometimes quite humours what it'd know you typed). The shower-scene provided many great memories from all us kids huddling around the computer telling someone what to try next lol.
The ones later go into a more point-and-click type of adventure control but still remain quite realistic with police procedures and those kinds of things.
If you can handle old games and you don't mind a really realistic sense of police protocols, etc you might enjoy them.
Eventually it branched into Swat (but those aren't in this bundle).

Status : Online | The Police Quest series were among my first adventure games, I have some really fond memories of them. If you've liked other Sierra games, you should like Police Quest.
GOG didn't include the original Police Quest 1 (which used a text parser and keyboard controls), only the P&C VGA remake which is more similar in gameplay to Police Quest 3. Police Quest 2 used a parser interface like the original, but incorporated the mouse for movement.
There were some changes made between the original PQ and VGA remake, most of them minor, but one in particular creates a continuity error in the sequel that can be confusing to players that haven't played the original PQ.
