The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

A good example of the difference a little multimedia can do, the Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes plays like a textmode proof-of-concept of the better-known
Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective. The basic investigative elements remain
the same: managing time dashing to various locations around Olde London Towne
in search of clues, but here instead of successfully receiving them as video
clips you often get cryptic encoded messages in “fill-in-the-blank” form,
intended in total to spell out, some directly and some through phonetic
wordplay, the name of the killer, the method they used, and their motive for
committing the crime. Characters from the original tales including Dr. Watson,
Mrs. Baker and Inspector Lestrade help to establish the flavour of literary
canon as you investigate all-new crimes (some user-contributed!)
