James Walls

Developer BIO

Jim Walls is an ex-policeman who in 1971 joined the California Highway Patrol. He retired after 15 years on the force, after a shootout with a crazed criminal. During his recovery, he scripted what finally became Sierra's milestone adventure "Police Quest". Later, he scripted its two sequels as well as another police adventure, "Blue Force" from Tsunami (he left Sierra in 1993, reportedly in anger and after an ugly scene). Jim Walls makes a cameo in the intro of "Police Quest 3". He was working with Origin for some time and, reportedly, said he didn't want to return to making "police games".

Jim Walls's voice can be heard in the CD edition of "Blue Force" on an extra track.
