Sierra's old Quests rererereleased!

[Weltall]

I'll pick up King, Space, and Police (all three were pretty fun, and I've lost the Police Quest 1 handbook, the one that used that awesome form of copyright protection where they fed you a bunch of knowledge about the game world and forced you to look it up in an actual book so you could use it in the game, and also that knowledge is actually a police officer training guide, or some stuff based on one in the real world).

The original Civilization had that protection feature too, where it asked you a question and you had to look up the answer on a specific page of the instruction manual.

I bought the game in a bargain bin several years ago on CD. The copy-protection feature was still intact. Unfortunately, it was just a straight jewel-case game, and there was no manual included, just a single paper insert.

Needless to say, someone somewhere along the line had a hell of a brain fart, as the game is severely restricted unless you manage to guess the answers.
