Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Case of the Tin Soldier

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!

great game - loved it.

All the original Holmes games are excellent. Great puzzles. Great acting. A lot of fun.

to me this game was mostly a bunch of clips I had to sit through and take notes on, which is not my preferred style of detective games.

We were really looking forward to the digitisation of this board game which we've played the physical version of. Surprisingly, it just isn't as fun as sitting around the table and doing it yourself. Additionally, the tin soldier story isn't the best from the physical game.
