Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective is a game for the patient player who likes to chew on clues and slowly build a strong case. It would also make for a great family project over the course of a few evenings. Simply pop the game into the DVD player, sit back in front of your large screen television and take turns controlling the remote as you match wits with the legendary Sherlock Holmes. Donning a cap and pipe are optional, but keep in mind that the 21st century politically-correct Sherlock would have bubbles and not tobacco in that pipe.

Sherlock Holmes. No other fictional detective is more infamous, beloved, and parodied. Created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the character has earned a place in popular culture that is rarely bestowed. It is therefore of little surprise that there have been many computer and console games loosely based on the legendary detective figure. Among these is Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective - Volume I, a game initially developed by ICOM Simulations to take advantage of the multimedia CD-ROM in the early years of this technology. Many other games based on past fictional works rarely live up to deliver an immersing experience, but such is not the case here. Not only does the game remain true to the spirit of the original work, for the most part this game is unique in its approach in delivering the Holmesian experience to the player.
