Parking Lot (PQ2 Lytton PD)

Lytton PD Parking Lot

Room ID#(s):	1
Bugs & Glitches:	Yes
Odd Coding:	Yes

Notes

• The game starts you off with no flags set (aside from whatever 'starts' the game), 0 points and a 700-second countdown before the captain gives you your first orders. This timer is automatically set to 0 after the gun has been sighted and the field kit has been collected. If the player is worried they may not have enough time to earn all the possible points at the station before the timer runs out, consider doing those two events last. The next timer only starts AFTER the player walks back into Homicide and gets his orders from the captain.

• The flag does not animate in the JP version of the game.

• This is not affected by slow computer mode.

• This happens because global110 (normally) is checked to see if the value is high enough to animate the flag. This condition check was completely removed, but they left in the call to stop animating it.

• If the player waits long enough on this screen without any keys, a message will pop up having Sonny ask himself, "Now where are my keys?".

• 'Get naked' produces a dialogue response without a game over. This only works in 1.001.000 and 1.001.006. However, 'Remove clothes' appears to work in all versions. 'piss' produces a similar result.

Slow Computers

• The American flag no longer animates.

i	I Need a Key to What?! Credit: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes The game requires the player to have the car keys in inventory to unlock... an unlocked car door.

Keith Sets His OWN Pace! Credit: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes After leaving the office's hallway and entering the unmarked car, Keith will leave the vehicle and hop into the office at a pretty good pace. After returning to the office, Keith will exit the vehicle and go into the office at a MUCH slower pace. However, if the player re-enters the vehicle before going into the office, Keith will come out walking at his much slower pace.

Moonwalking Category: Moonwalking Credit: SierraArt, Kuro-chan Additional Research: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Press a directional key while exiting the vehicle (the gun icon pops up on the car interior screen, indicating the screen is loading). As Sonny exits the vehicle, he will start walking in the direction pressed, but the direction will only face the way he does when he exits the vehicle. The player will walk and respond to anything that blocks Sonny's path. Both vehicles are affected by this in 1.001.000. By 1.001.006, this is restricted to Sonny's personal vehicle.

Trampling Over the LPD Category: Out of Bounds Credit: Gage Holston 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes No No No The player can clip out of bounds by aligning with the upper-right corner of the parking lot and drawing the gun. This can also be performed near the door that leads into the office, but it is more difficult to perform. Facing up (left of the door) and moving diagonally works better. Moving too far south will cause Sonny to warp back in bounds near the bottom of the screen. This looks like it has something to do with a minimum and maximum x value The Amiga 1.024 and J1.000.062 fixed this by filling in the out of bounds area as unwalkable terrain.

Nosey Fence Credit: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes The player can walk diagonally along the fence opening that leads to the street (bottom of the screen). By hugging the fence edge, the player can walk diagonally up or down towards the fence and the player will still move vertically. Normally, a path block should stop player movement.
