Police Quest 4: Open Season (known officially as Daryl F. Gates' Police Quest: Open Season or Police Quest: Open Season). It’s the only Police Quest game to not have Jim Walls involved since he left Sierra due to unknown circumstances. Instead, it has (former) Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Daryl F. Gates with Tammy Dargan writing/producing/directing the story, the latter known for working in America's Most Wanted. It was released in 1993 for the PC (via MS-DOS) and Macintosh.It takes places in Los Angeles where LAPD Robbery Homicide detective John Carey heads to South Central due to an incident where bodies were found. It turns out that among the bodies found was ex-LAPD officer (and Carey's friend) Bob Hickman, next to the body of a 8-year old boy. The LAPD initially assumes gangs are behind the deaths. But as more bodies turn up, Carey begins to investigate the cases as the work of a serial killer.

No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: Invoked. Several developers working for Sierra at the time have stated on record that the decision to hire former Police Chief Daryl Gates, hot off the Rodney King controversy and the L.A. Riots, as a consultant for the game was by all appearances motivated by the hope that his own infamous reputation would attract some additional publicity to the project.

Fake Longevity: While it's excuseable to have to note anything relating to criminal activity just so you can fill out a report later, where is the excuse in forcing a player to loosen out every slug lodged into a wall, while hearing the same line "You loosened a slug from the wall" followed by a DING! for every slug loosened off? Fifteen times? Also, you will have to bag every single slug afterward. The game is also picky where you click your mouse at.

Game-Breaking Bug
 Police Quest 4: Open Season (Video Game) / int_33ca811a
comment
Game-Breaking Bug: Open Season came out just before the appearance of high-end 486 processors. These apparently messed up the internal clock so badly, that it became impossible to pass certain points in the game without dying (specifically the neo-nazi courtroom scene). Fortunately, even before a patch came out, Sierra realized that slowing the game to a crawl before such crucial scenes would solve the bug, and made this knowledge public.

The narrator can sound enthusiastic, berating, easily amused, sound like he's either asking a question when there isn't one, or simply say a sentence that is clearly incomplete by his voice. He also has a nasty habit of point out the obvious. He's also unintentionally amusing in this regard.

Would Hurt a Child: Bobby Washington (the child in the beginning) was found murdered and hidden in a dumpster. Emo Jones expresses some mild sympathy about Bobby Washington, likely because he loves baseball as much as Bobby did and may have bonded with him at some point. He is ultimately the one who is able to help John close the case on the murderer, and he nearly got killed doing so.

Also, in attempting to do something that could be considered criminal, the narrator will prevent you from doing it (most of the time; he won't stop you shooting the candy machine) and make a comment about you being a Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop.

Dropped-in Speech Clip: The floppy version has one of Adolf Hitler's speeches playing in Dennis Walker's house, since he is a Neo-Nazi member of the Aryan Brotherhood. It has been removed from the CD version, even though a much more spacious CD would have less problems with storing audio, though this is presumably because the characters speak and it wouldn't want the audio to clash.

Sir Swearsa Lot: The game is best known for the profanity used in this game. For example, the character Hal Bottoms will use the word "Goddamn" and "Bitch" in the game. Also Dennis Walker will use the word "Fuck" and "Shit" if you touch his stuff or show him items from your inventory.

Chekhov's Gunman: Sherry Moore is pretty much just a pretty face working at the morgue. Oh, and she ends up revealing everything about the case in an interview to a reporter, who in turn reported her story on national television, and as a result, it got the whole townspeople in fear and even buying out gun stores! Naturally, John is not happy, and neither is the chief. Lassundra Washington apparently witnessed Bob Hickman's murderer. She mentioned a woman in a red dress when you talk to her after Spiff's been apprehended.

Anti-Climax
 Police Quest 4: Open Season (Video Game) / int_eeb4a5eb
comment
Anti-Climax: A jarring example. The first third of the game builds up the investigation about the murder behind a cop, Bob Hickman, and a child, Bobby Washington. Emo called John about information he'd like to share about the murders, only to get caught in a shoot out. After the scene, everything is suddenly resolved off screen, as Emo survives in the hospital and reveals that Spiff wanted to use Bobby to ship his guns, killed him in cold blood, and tried to kill Emo to shut him up. Spiff will be charged swiftly for a couple of attempted murders, and the murder of Bobby. The only thing that wasn't so anti-climatic is that Spiff is not responsible for Bob's murder. The conclusion with Dennis Walker and his girlfriend also ended as quickly as it came. Also, the final part of the game just ends. You find who the killer is, which becomes more obvious at this point, follow a linear path, and the game just ends with Mitchell killed while in the process of murdering(?) his newest victim, and the game abruptly ends with John in city hall, with the mayor loving him and giving him the medal of valor, and credits! Not even a "I did it, Bob" line of any kind?
