Growing up, I always had a soft spot for police procedurals and detective shows. Early on, shows like Inspector Gadget would intrigue my elementary school mind, and later I would be exposed to it's spiritual predecessor, Get Smart. Two things I wouldn't learn for a few years -- both starred Don Adams, and Get Smart was an early project of the great Mel Brooks, but at this point, I had probably fallen in love with Spaceballs or Blazing Saddles without knowing the connection. Nick at Nite showed reruns of the classic Dragnet, and later, Adam-12.
Looking back, Adam-12 was probably a big inspiration for the game that I next played.
