Frequently asked questions
Do the Police Quest games share saves?
No. Each entry keeps its own directory with its own slot files. Back up per game, not per collection.
How do I back up Police Quest?
Copy the numbered slot files out of the entry's directory. Every traffic stop and drug bust travels inside them.
