Overview
Description

Police Quest: SWAT puts you in the shoes of a tactical police unit, demanding careful planning and precise execution. The game blends strategy, simulation, and action as you coordinate squads, manage equipment, and respond to high‑risk incidents. Released in 1995 for PC and Mac, the title offers a gritty, methodical experience that challenges players to think like real‑world law enforcement while navigating the limitations of 1990s graphics and interface design.

Silent Service puts you in the captain's seat of a World War II U.S. submarine, navigating the treacherous waters of the South Pacific. With detailed graphics and authentic sonar and radar systems, you must hunt enemy convoys and survive heavily escorted attacks. Choose from a variety of historical scenarios, adjust reality levels, and experience the tension of periscope attacks, night surface raids, and strategic patrols. The game blends strategic planning with intense action for both newcomers and veteran submarine enthusiasts.
