I feel the same way about Police Quest 4 - I can see that they were trying to make a realistic game but in some cases comes across as quite dull. Still, the score total has me interested at the moment so I'm replaying it just in case I can squeeze out those last few points. I've currently completed the first two days, getting 42 points at the end of day 1 and 209 points at the end of day 2. If this can be bettered please let me know.

I'd like to find out if the score counter in Police Quest 4 goes as high as 500, as unlike with most Sierra games there is no maximum score total shown. When I first played the game years ago around 2005, the highest point score I could get was 424. When I played the game in 2008 I achieved a score of 457 which I achieved by just talking to everyone, using the notepad, examining everything I could, etc. I noticed in some recent Youtube playthroughs that scores were going into the 470-480 point range, and now there is a point list on GameFAQs which takes the score all the way up to 493, although the author admits that 3 of these points may be a glitch. Has anyone ever found these missing points and achieved a score of 500? If not, what's the highest score you've reached?

Thanks for your reply, Cloudee. It seems like I'll just have to use the messages tab in SCI viewer then to find out which actions might give points within a location.

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the correct board to post this on, but I'll give it a go here anyway. There are two Sierra games which I am unsure of the maximum point total on: Pepper's Adventures in Time and Police Quest IV: Open Season. The highest score I've found for Pepper's Adventures in Time is 564 and the highest for Police Quest IV is 493. Is it possible to use a script editor to extract information on the exact actions that give points? I've used SCI editor on Police Quest IV to look at the script for a specific room (script 100 being the opening crime scene), and the word "point" is contained in that script a number of times, but I just can't seem to make sense of it. Does anyone know a way of extracting just the actions that give points in these games?
