Collections and Re-releases
Sierra's first re-release of the games in a collection was in 1995 as "Daryl F. Gates' Police Quest Collection: The Four Most Wanted".
The second re-release collection was released in 1997 as "Police Quest Collection Series". It contained Police Quest 1-3, Open Season, and SWAT.
In 2003, the first three SWAT games were released in the "Police Quest: SWAT Generation" compilation.
In September 2006, Vivendi Games re-released a new "The Four Most Wanted" collection including four games of the series. It included four classic Police Quest games in one compilation (minus the original AGI version of PQ1). The new package is designed to be compatible with Windows XP, thanks to the use of the DOSBox emulator.
Since January 18, 2011 Police Quest 1+2+3+4 pack (it includes first four games of the series without the original PQ1) and Police Quest: SWAT 1+2 (Police Quest: SWAT and Police Quest: SWAT 2) is internationally available at GOG.com in the form of digital download. The former collection is much like the Vivendi collection and lacks the AGI version of Police Quest 1.

Famous quotes containing the word collections:
“Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
