Police Quest: Panama Nights

[brushfe]

Police Quest: Panama Nights takes place between PQ1 and PQ2, following Detectives Sonny Bonds and Laura Watts into the darkness of the 1980s drug cartels.

This began as a July 2025 MAGS entry and a tool to get the hang of AGS coding before starting work on the larger Manhunter: Toronto project. Of course, the mind wanders, and now this story has become a five-part game with a life of its own!

I've never released a game here before, so I hope this works:

VERSION 1.1
Police Quest: Panama Nights [Part 1/5]

If anyone is interested in trying it out, I'd love to hear any/all thoughts you have!

This is a very nice old school adventure game,
unfortunately I encountered a few , i guess severe, bugs :

Spoiler

I am at the point where I have to defeat the drunk at the bar.
Obviously, I don't have the right item , I guess it might be found
in the storage room, where I could only find a towel and a few beers
The moment the drunk approaches me, I can use the door to go outside, where
the soldiers have now disappeared. Then I can walk back in I am not attacked anymore.
During these actions, my player is always walking backwards...
AND : Then I can even walk into my room and get another passport from the nightstand,
which is not intended, I guess...

EDIT: I finished the game after finding the right object.
Looking forward to see more from You, very nice work !

Hello @Ian Aloser - Thanks so much for playing! And for finding that bug, I've updated the link with a fixed version.

It means a lot that you enjoyed it, and I'll definitely let you know when the next chapter is ready. Danke, detective!
