When the game begins you're in the main room of the police station.
Get the keys and a radio extender. Go to the locker room
(first door on right) and open your locker (second locker on
right). Take off your clothes, close your locker and take a
shower. Open your locker, put on your uniform, take your gun,
briefcase and ammunition. Load the gun. Open the case, get all,
close case. Close your locker.
Leave the locker room and go to the briefing room (far
door on right). Pick up the newspaper, and read it. Go to
the first desk on the right and remain there while the rest
of the cops enter. Listen to Sgt. Dooley's spiel, then walk
over to the right and search your pigeonhole. Read the note
and the leave the room.
Go down the hallway on the far lef and out into the
parking lot. Walk around the last patrol car on the left
until it tells you that you've done an inspection of the car. Open
the door, get in the car and close the door. Drive away. Just
drive around without crashing for a while, until you get a
message from Dispatch. Go to map section B2, and pull up
alongside the car sticking out of the building. Get out and
examine the body. Question all the people there and then report
to Dispatch (Ctrl-D). Soon a backup car will arrive. You can
leave.
Keep driving until you get a message from Steve over the
radio. Go to map section A3, and park in front of Carol's. Go in
and sit with Steve. Shoot the breeze until the phone rings. Carol
will answer it and say it's for you. Get up and talk on the
phone. Leave.
Keep driving until you see a red sports car run a
red light. (Don't worry, the game tells you about it.) Turn on your
siren (F10), follow the car and force it to pull over. Go
up to the car and "write ticket". Don't let the girl talk you
out of it. Get her license and write ticket. Return her
license and make her sign the ticket. Give it to her and leave.
Keep driving until you get a call over the radio. Go to
Carol's. Get your nightstick out of the car before you open the
door. Talk to Carol. Go to Willy's and say "Move your bikes."
Immediately type "Use nightstick" or you will get beaten up. Talk
to Sweet Cheeks and leave.
Keep driving until you see a drunk driver. Pull him over
using your siren and get out of the car. Tell him to get out,
and test him for alcohol. Cuff him in the back, and make him get
in your car. Drive to the jail in map section C4. Go up to those
little lockers and put your gun in it. Ring the bell and go in.
Tell the jailer he was drinking and driving. Fill out the form,
and take off his cuffs. Put him in jail. You'll be instructed to
go back to the station.
Once at the station, write a memo at that table in the
hallway. Talk to Dooley. Do what he says then take a shower,
change into your good clothes and get your Corvette keys. Go out
to your Corvette and drive to the Blue Room bar in map section
B4. Sit with Jack and shoot the breeze. After the
little birthday cake ceremony return to the station.
Shower, change, and go to the briefing room. Hit the streets
(don't forget the walk around) and stick around map sections A2,
A1 and B2. You'll get a call over the radio. Immediately turn on
your siren. It should play music. Look for a VERY light blue car.
Follow it with sirens on. If it speeds up to about F8 speed,
that's the one. Follow him until he pulls over. DO NOT STEP OUT
OF CAR! Ctrl-D to dispatch. When the backup car comes, wait for
the guy to draw his gun and position himself. Get out of your
car (don't draw gun) and order the guy to get out of his car.
Tell him to raise his hands. Tell him to lie down. Walk over to
him and snap the cuffs on him. Read him his rights and search
him. Tell him to get in your car. Proceed to the jail. Put you gun
in the locker. Tell the Jailer you arrested him for "felony." Lead
him to his cell. Return to the station. Enter Dooley's office.
Read the memo. Shower and change into your street clothes.
Go to Morgan's office and talk to him. Then go to the room
directly to the right. After Laura shows you around, open the file
cabinet, take Hoffman's file and close the drawer. Read the
clipboard on the left wall until you come to the wanted poster.
Take itOne will run;
let him. Handcuff the other one. Bring him back to the road.
Read the men their rights and question them. Get in the car and
take them to jail. Tell the jailer "drug dealing." Go back to the
car and drive back to the station. Drop off Laura and continue to
to the Blue Room.
Sit and talk to Jack. Get up and go back to the police station.
Enter Morgan's office. Talk to Morgan. Go to your office and look in
the basket on your desk. Read the note. Proceed to the barred window

Read the men their rights and question them. Get in the car and
take them to jail. Tell the jailer "drug dealing." Go back to the
car and drive back to the station. Drop off Laura and continue to
to the Blue Room.
Sit and talk to Jack. Get up and go back to the police station.
Enter Morgan's office. Talk to Morgan. Go to your office and look in
the basket on your desk. Read the note. Proceed to the barred window
in the main room and ask for the notebook. Read it. Go to your
office and listen to Laura, then go to Morgan's office. When he
finishes go to the jail and tell Sweet Cheeks, "Help me with
Hotel Delphoria." Leave. On your way back to the station you'll
get a radio call. Go to section D4 in the southeast corner. Get
out. Take the blanket off the body and take off the shirt. Radio
Dispatch. Leave.
Go to the station and into Morgan's office. Get instructions.
Go to locker room. Shower and bleach your hair. First "bleach
hair", then "rinse". Change and do not take your gun. Go to
Morgan's office and get money. Replace the radio extender. Go to
the hotel in section A2. Ring the bell and get a room. Go into
the bar on the left and buy a glass of water. Sweet Cheeks will
recognize you.
Sit down and talk to Sweet Cheeks and the bartender. After
you get up, go to the bar and say "Gamble." Go up to your room
and dial 411 on the phone. For the name type "cab." Sweet Cheeks
will leave. Go down to the bar and type "Gamble." You will be taken
into the gambling room. Sit at the table that has only 2 players.
Talk to the men and wait for another guy to come and sit down.
As soon as you get the gambling screen, save your game. Play a
hand. Always bet the highest amount possible. If you lose that hand,
restore and play another. Every time you win a hand, save your game.
Every time you lose, restore it. After you have over $1000 you
will automatically get up. Go back to your room, and wait until
three detectives come in. Ask them for the transmitter. They'll
give it to you. Go back to the bar and say, "Frank sent me." you
will go into a room in the back. Gamble in the same manner as
you did before. When you automatically get up, follow Frank to
his suite. As soon as you get there, type Ctrl-D so your backups
know where you are. Frank will get a call. When he does, move
over to the bar and wait for him to come back. When he does,
he'll shoot at you. Don't worry, everything happens automatically
from here on.
That's pretty much it. You won't have all the points but you'll have
finished the game!
