A Winner Is You | |
| Police Quest: SWAT (Video Game) / int_27b418da | comment |
A Winner Is You: The game simply cuts to credits after the third mission. The closest thing to closure is the same use-of-force investigation cutscene you get if you use your firearm on either of the first two missions. | |

Artifact Title | |
| Police Quest: SWAT (Video Game) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: SWAT 1 and 2 retained the name "Police Quest" in their titles, despite being neither quests nor adventure games of any kind. If not for the presence of Sonny Bonds in the second game, this would nearly count as In Name Only. This pretense was dropped in SWAT 3. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Police Quest: SWAT (Video Game) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: SWAT 1 has internal affairs coming in anytime you had to use a firearm, even if the mission was a success. This is done to review if the shot you took was justified. Accordingly, justified shots have you reinstated and commended, while unjustified shots have you arrested, ending the game. Using a flash bang on a woman with a bad heart, rather than stunning her, has her die immediately - flashbangs and the like are emphatically less-lethal and not "non-lethal", because non-lethal weapons do not exist. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: With its heavy emphasis on Full Motion Video, this game plays more like an adventure game in the vein of its parent series than its more tactical sequels. | |

Permanently Missable Content | |
| Police Quest: SWAT (Video Game) / int_6602cad | comment |
Permanently Missable Content: Pacmeyer will eventually be promoted out of D Platoon, meaning that you may miss a chance to qualify as a sniper and take part in the third mission as one. It can be done after performing the first two separate sniper training drills and returning to Metro, and is generally best done right after the first callup as this will catch him as he's leaving. | |

What the Hell, Player? | |
| Police Quest: SWAT (Video Game) / int_72dd7026 | comment |
What the Hell, Player?: The other members of the team or instructors tend to chew you out if you do stupid actions, try to interrupt them, quit the drill, jeopardise their mission, etc. Bad behavior incurs negative reactions from your fellow officers. Failing to meet protocol or staying with your team has you removed and scolded by the sergeant, and giving civilians the silent treatment has them rightfully offended at you. | |

Press X to Die: SWAT is full of this, as well as Press X to Not Die. Go around a corner without slicing the pie? You're dead. Fail to cover a door? You're dead. Take a wrong turn? You're dead. Enter the Eastman building on the wrong side or without proper sniper cover? Total Party Kill. | |

No "Arc" in "Archery" | |
| Police Quest: SWAT (Video Game) / int_e83fc5 | comment |
No "Arc" in "Archery": Averted with the Sniper Rifle. The rifles scope requires zeroing and factors, such as wind resistance, need to be taken into account to determine the fall of shot. Played straight with the other weapons, since they're all used at such close ranges where such factors are not an issue. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: Shooting anyone without a justifiable reason* If they are armed and refuse to comply with demands, or are an immediate threat to you or anyone else will result in internal affairs getting involved, and eventually having you arrested for murder. Victims can include Lucy, the old lady in the first mission, and a injured hostage in the third mission. | |
