This is probably the most obnoxious yet hilarious game over screen in the series for me. With the first one it was just a thanks for playing game over. With the second one was his face with all these funny messages and this one with Jim Walls in Uniform with his leg on the car is too funny for me.
I imagine this is what bad cops are subjected to in the afterlife. An eternity of limbo, trapped in a void with only a faint source of light illuminating Jim Walls with his leg up on a police car. Periodically, he lectures you about how you screwed up, and then goes completely silent and motionless for years until he repeats his statement again.
4:21 Getting drowned forcefully by another man must one of the worst deaths possible. Just imagine the struggle and the humilliation underwater while being overpowered.
The first time I played PQ3, I encountered those "game over" screens quite a bit (and unintentionally) since I wasn't at all well-versed in correct police protocol. My favorite was having to deal with the loony. Jim Walls is almost an accomplice to your handiwork since he's the one that *encourages* you to use "self defense." And in another scenario, Walls refers to him as "an unarmed man," and reprimands you for not being able to handle it. Of course, well all know how that turns out if he's not frisked at the police station. I would say that Infocom probably started the trend of giving you the smart-alecky responses any time you got killed; the Sierra games of the era took that to a whole new level. Often times it was more fun to get killed in these games than to complete the task at hand. But that was before they started using professional voice actors and real animation and video capture. The deaths *were* much funnier to read than heard as spoken by a character or narrator.
You can tell how antiquated and outdated this game is because there are consequences for police officers shooting citizens with little to no provocation.
I was super excited with #3 came out since we loved 1 and 2, especially since it had VGA graphics and Sound Blaster sound. We had great times playing this. It was funny and dramatic. Great storytelling and playfactor.
Oh yes. I still remember trying that 4:45 part. Intent was to threaten, not to shoot him in the head. Well for the end result got great laugh how things don't always go like planned 😂
LOL @ 7:28. The golden days of copy protection, where you needed the manual in front of you to play the game. Nothing says secure our software like treating all your customers lke criminals.
7:35 That is SO FUCKING FUNNY!!!! The perp calmly walks in. Then 2 seconds later, hes in a LIFE AND DEATH scrap with the other officer as you are just STANDING, watching as he is getting RAGDOLLED all over the room. Then the pause and good ole' JIM WALLS with his leg on the bumper giving SARCASTIC remarks about your death or FUCKUP :)
I loved Police Quest 1 and 2 but could never get into this one. The game engine / graphics and so forth were drastically different. It was a huge step backwards from Police Quest 2 in my opinion.
@turunen45 scrap104 made a similar video, but it didn't include all the possible ways to lose (and some of them didn't actually end the game, they're just funny things you can do).
3:50 now that’s my kind of justice! Shoot first ask questions later haha...I’m sorry but my friend and I only played this as a kid for shit like that lol. I have no record but I’m the furthest thing from law abiding at age 34. Just been extremely lucky..although maybe it’s good karma cause I’ve never hurt anyone with my shenanigans.

*cue disappointed Jim Walls*
"Those curbs just sneak right up on you, don't they?" funniest part

redeyedbandit1251 it is true. the officer in the game over screen is a fatuous-looking guy...
Every bad cop in the world should get scolded like this. Being lectured by an agony aunt Sheriff leaning on your squad car.
Sheriff reminds me of a conscience when it tells you that you did something wrong.

@@BB-te8tc "Those questionable moments of morality sneaks up on you don't they?"
the game over song is a little bit sad but the screen itself and the messages are comedic.
I love this game's Game Over screen for some reason. I don't know why, it's probably the music combined with the semi-sarcastic death messages.
Gotta love being lectured by a cop scratching himself whilst striking the Captain Morgan pose
"Anyways, I just started blasting" The Game 😆 🤣
The "disappointed" music gets me every time, LOL
"It's called self defense."
FINE, BUT DON'T GET MAD IF I SHOOT HIM THEN!
4:59 But... he was trying to drown you, that's hardly "no threat."
$100,000,000 dollar lawsuit, are they serious?
+Ron Alden Ombao And them's in 1992 dollars!

I know. If anything the thin blue line will protect you and give you paid leave
"Better dust off that Officer's Manual and bone up on your codes"
Well, that's...one way to put it...
It's sad that Sierra didn't create the drown death in this game :(
Btw, I laughed when the crazy guy dance after defeating Sonny Bonds =))

This should be a meme 0:23
Say no more
I am going to make a meme with that
nah make it into reaction images
3:50 - Today the cop would've been given a model and thrown a parade!
Nah, the victim's white. The media couldn't care less.
Not sure if “models” these days would date cops who would go that far
Oh yes. I still remember trying that 4:45 part. Intent was to threaten, not to shoot him in the head. Well for the end result got great laugh how things don't always go like planned 😂
It's too bad they don't punish cops like this in REAL life, isn't it?
Police Unions are the cheat code it turns out.
You must spend a lot of time on this! Good Job dude you deserve lots of respect
The game is pretty comedic, but it also serves a learning tool on how to be a cop, not freakin' Judge Dredd or a cop who doesn't play the rules!
Imagine the police holding each other accountable
The majority do, but we only hear about the ones that don't.
He keeps leaning his leg on my police car >:(
He must drink Captain Morgan XD Btw, are you really a police officer?
In Police Quest I am.
100,000,000 dollars?! Does ANY police department have that kind of money?!
If so, they've been holding out on us...
I thought it was an exagerration
I laughed so FUCKING hard when the game over screen appeared for not knowing codes! I don't know why.
1:15 -- Rosco: Enos, you dipstick! Ya done scuffed my vehicle!!
LOL @ 7:28. The golden days of copy protection, where you needed the manual in front of you to play the game.

A bit like modern DRM. Monitoring and taking over your machine without the slightest hint of any cheat in the horizon.
7:28

A game over for not knowing codes. WTF?
A little something called copy protection.
4:45 he had it coming
4:45
I'm diggin the music in this game!
Sheesh, all of these instances of trigger finger in the video make me wonder if theres actually an option for to just AIM the piece instead of firing.
@Benjamin Widman Because the cop has a very effective NON-lethal weapon in the form of a baton/nightstick.
Did anyone else notice that "deranged" is misspelled at 3:26?
Hes a fighter, not a writer!
@corjonbett No, that was "What Not to Do in Police Quest 3 & Other Observations" by scrap104.
what if the pregnant woman had been robbing a bank instead? I don't think the she could have filed a lawsuit in that case.
I love this game.
The grammar at 0:55 makes my head hurt
Aug 20, 2016 tonight it begins, Saturday night special, colt 45. followed by Saturday night fever.
3:47.......I just bought this game, so I can do this over and over again.
The guy who wears almost nothing is super crazy
It's obvious that Sonny Bonds needs more training as a police officer.
5:47 VICTORY DANCE!
$100,000,000 lawsuit? Yikes.
It's the same thing. THIS game won't let you do that. The original Police Quest 1 let you do that, but this one won't.
5:45 Evil Tarzan?
I loved Police Quest 1 and 2 but could never get into this one. The game engine / graphics and so forth were drastically different. It was a huge step backwards from Police Quest 2 in my opinion.

@D2RCR That's right. Copy protection.
It really sucks driving the car in this game; I almost broke the computer learning!!
You can't. It just says that regulations state that you have to check your weapon at the door and your character walks away from the door.
3:50 ....true story of 2015 to today
Hey wait... 7:19 - copy protection?
You fail, I show my junk .. Yikes!
Isn't also possible to die by walking through the lanes in the highway?
No, in the version I have at least, you get fenced into a walk space.
"police brutality"
5:42 Killed in one punch? Wow, your character has a severe case of a glass-jaw.
He's a Bathonian from outer space, what do you expect?
The only reason 4:00 is game over is because the guy is white.
I thought you already did these...
3:50 now that’s my kind of justice! Shoot first ask questions later haha...I’m sorry but my friend and I only played this as a kid for shit like that lol. I have no record but I’m the furthest thing from law abiding at age 34. Just been extremely lucky..although maybe it’s good karma cause I’ve never hurt anyone with my shenanigans.
3:48 - hey, was this made in 2016?
no 91, what makes you think that from 3:48?
5:47
how comes a cop shooting a man dead who tries to beat him or her to death not self defense?
because that's what your nightstick is for
3:50 If the guy was a young, unarmed, black man he would've been given a medal and a promotion.
meow bastard racist
That's not how police work.
@@HexdaHeresiarch lol yes it is stop being a boot licker
These games are so freaking stupid it hurts to watch
That's Sierra for ya. That is why adventure games died after the 1990s.
