The second console port of Policenauts and probably the most played of the three, since unlike the 3DO and Saturn, the PlayStation was actually a successful console, resulting in this version having a few reprints (as well as a digital release on the PlayStation Store). Despite this, Konami was unable to localize it in English back in the day, but a fan-translation project has since picked up the slack.
