Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Case of the Banker's Final Debt

lovely game - like the other similar ones

This is a decent game. No too long. Good story and some good detective parts.

It's a deceptively simple Sherlock Holmes Visual Novel (FMV Style Game) with interactions where you send Scotland Yard and/or the Irregular Ones to go and find you information, then you present your case to the Judge but if you don't have ALL of the information the Case doesn't go ahead, and whilst that's a handy barometer to showcase whether or not you're on the right track it would be better if the game had a "bad end" where if you didn't find all the info the villain got away but I appreciate that wouldn't be in-keeping with The Master Detective

I played a bunch of these in the 90s- I enjoyed them enough. When I booted up Zojoi's remasters- I thought they hadn't done much to update them... sure, they ran on my modern PC, but what did they really change? They looked just like my memory of them. But then I made the mistake of actually comparing them to the CDs I still had! Great Scott! There is no comparison between the original video quality and the Zojoi version! These are really something. My memory was far to kind to the original release. Now my only sadness is that Zojoi has only upgraded 4 of the 9 original cases. Here's hoping another case drops soon!

Way too simple and too short, but still a charming reproduction of the early 90s original.

I forgot how truly fun and well done these games were. The acting was phenomenal for a computer game and ahead of its time. Sometimes the puzzles don't always seem to make much sense but nevertheless it was a masterpiece of its time that still holds up today.
