About this game

In the year 2010 mankind has built its first space colony, Beyond Coast.

Three years later the founders of the colony felt it needed to be protected, and chose five best policemen from Earth to do that: Gates Becker from Scotland Yard, the Japanese Sadaoki Tokugawa, Salvatore Toscanini from New York, and two policemen from Los Angeles: Jonathan Ingram and his best friend Ed Brown.

During a routine patrol on Beyond Coast, something happened to Jonathan's spacesuit.

He was sucked into space and presumed dead.

Twenty-five years later, he is miraculously discovered in his life pod, alive.

He still looks like a young man, but in reality, he is fifty-five years old.

Trying to forget his past, Jonathan opens an investigation agency on Earth.

One day, his ex-wife unexpectedly pays him a visit.

She has re-married during Jonathan's prolonged absence and asks him to find her missing husband.

When she leaves the office, her car explodes, and she dies.

Determined to fulfill her final request, Jonathan prepares to re-visit Beyond Coast.

Policenauts is a Japanese-style adventure with action elements, similar in many ways to Snatcher .

The player interacts with the environment in a point-and-click fashion: positioning a cursor over an object allows the player character to examine it or perform other context-dependent actions.

There are a few puzzles in the game, but most of the time the story is advanced by visiting various locations, examining objects, and talking to characters.

Conversations usually include a selection of topics.

Action sequences are similar to those of Snatcher , but are more numerous and varied.

The player must rapidly shoot enemies moving within a one-screen area viewed from a first-person perspective, reloading the gun manually and trying to eliminate the enemy before Jonathan's health bar is depleted.

About PlayStation

The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.

Gamevaro tracks Policenauts for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Policenauts to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1994.
