on GOG.com in the Police Quest Collection Series collection (along with the first four games in the series), the SWAT Career Pack (with all six Police Quest games), the Police Quest: SWAT Force pack (the first two SWAT games), and later the Police Quest: SWAT Generation collection (with SWAT 2 and SWAT 3), and in Police Quest: SWAT 1 & 2. The game was re-released on Steam in 2016. Reception A reviewer for Next Generation criticized the mission instructions as overly ambiguous, sometimes leading the player to receive a reprimand even after apparently following orders correctly. He praised the large amount of content, educational value, and digitized audio, but scored the game two out of five stars, concluding that "this is a decent attempt at a police simulation, but your lack of control leaves much to be desired." PC Zone offered the game a "Recommended" rating, and a writer for the magazine called it "gun-toting cop fun". Sales According to Sierra On-Line, combined sales of the Police Quest series—including Police Quest: SWAT—surpassed 1.2 million units by the end of March 1996. Police Quest: SWAT was a commercial success; SWAT 3s Jim Napier later wrote that it "received only marginal reviews, [... but] sold like crazy." Between January 1998 and July 1998 alone, it sold 152,425 copies and earned $1,622,405 in the United States. Its sales that year ultimately totaled 253,128 units, which brought in revenues of $2.73 million and made SWAT the country's 17th best-selling game of the year. The game's overall sales topped 1 million copies by March 2000.
