Synopsis:

You are Special Agent Hopkins, FBI. After being arrested for detonating a nuclear bomb in the Atlanta area, Bernie Berkson escapes during his execution. You need to find him, of course.

Well, imagine Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers wrote an adventure and you get more or less what Hopkins is like. There are some pretty graphic violence scenes (some of which have been left out in the OS/2 version by PolyEx, BTW). But the game also has some nice black humor and burlesque story elements. Definitely one of the most polished games for OS/2.
 

The PolyEx website is currently closed, but it states that they'll be back around Xmas 2001. The other site that is mentioned only carries a link to PolyEx in the Links section.

There are reviews of Hopkins:FBI in the VOICE Newsletter and OS/2 eZine:
