There are numerous adventure games based on Sherlock Homes, but these are two parts of the "Lost Files" series published in the 90s by Electronic Arts.

Opening sentence seems to have a small error, something turned into a ? and the H in he isn't capitalized.

Actually there seems to be a number of random ? throughout, such as "And watching Holmes make incredible deductions out of the tiniest details ? in one case, calling out the myriad actions that expose a purportedly blind salesman as a fraud ? is". Looking at my copy of the Adventure Game book, they were meant to be -

Shame there's no pictures of the 3DO version of the game though. Fun read though, even though i've read it before. Might try and check them out one day.

Sherlock Holmes needs little introduction ?

And watching Holmes make incredible deductions out of the tiniest details ?

in one case, calling out the myriad actions that expose a purportedly blind salesman as a fraud ?

But the whole product is saved by one of the most important aspects of any adventure game ?

He's also got a personal stake in this mystery ?

There are also more historical figures to question and London landmarks to visit ?

I think these all have a formatting issue because those question marks don't make sense but a -- does.

Ugh, looks like we forgot to convert the long dashes into short ones, and the server messed them up as usual. Fixed now.

Oh yeah, there's that one. I was just more used to seeing a row of comparison pics at the bottom, so didn't notice. Oops.

They're good games, but it's very very easy to get stuck. You see, the game opens up into 4+ locations once you get far enough. And it's fairly easy to assume you did all you could on a certain one, only for that not to be the case and going to another and then getting stuck a bit farther because of missing dialog/items/knowledge. In despair, it's quite likely you'll just go bash your head against a useless area. At least KGB had the decency of killing you and saying what you did wrong if you took too long.
