Producer: Mythos Games Ltd.
Publisher: Electronic Arts, Inc.
Year: 1992

Quote:
In this 1992 game by Mythos Software you play as Sherlock Holmes and his friend Doctor Watson as they investigate the brutal murder of an actress behind London's Regency Theatre. Scotland Yard seems to think that the murder was committed by Jack the Ripper as the entire murder stinks of his handiwork. Holmes, of course, thinks differently. The task in the game is to find out if or if not this the work of Jack the Ripper and catch the culprit.




Anyone remembers that? It was one of the first(and few) adventures games I played, back in '98. I was instantly hooked, though I could barely understand English at that time, so it was more like "click anywhere everywhere" Smile . Cool settings and story, lovely drawn, and it had great minigames - just get to the darts in the pub... Wink
