Police Connection

Police Connection is a video game in the strategy genre developed by Shin-Nihon Laser Soft Co., Ltd. and published by Telenet Japan Co., Ltd. originally released in 1993. It is currently playable on TurboGrafx CD.

Police Connection is a board game with a twist: instead of just reaching an objective or collecting money, players take on the role of police detectives and investigate crimes. There are three cases in the game, all accessible from the main menu: two murders (the victims are young women), and one case of missing money. Up to four human- or AI-controlled characters try to solve these mysteries.

Players navigate the characters in turns on a board representing an urban environment. The number of steps each character takes is determined by a dice roll, but the board consists of many branching paths, and it is up to the players to choose the desired ones. Characters can interrogate suspects, gather clues and collect information when they land on the appropriate squares on the board. Special squares provide cards that can be used for various purposes, for example, examining evidence, taking a cab to another part of town, etc.
