I am still on my Sherlock "binge" and am currently getting towards the finale of his adventure concerning "Jack the Ripper". Out of the games I'm replaying (from and including "The Awakened") I am finding this one to be the most difficult and have had to consult MaG's wonderful walkthrough more than once. This got me wondering which Sherlock game other Gameboomers found to be their most difficult.

I wasn't too keen on the Sherlock games before The Awakened but I thought with that one Frogwares really hit their stride. And it's still my favoutite [Although Crime & punishment has become a very close runner up ] BrownEyedTigre !! I can't belive that !! And Marian. I do hope you decide to play some more. The games are very good and in the latest one there is plenty of "in-game" help. AND, of course, there are always MaG's fabulous walkthroughs

I found SH vs Arsene Lupin (aka Nemesis) to be the most difficult. Some of the puzzles made me . I do love it, though. On second thoughts, perhaps it was Mystery of the Mummy. That was mainly due to the timed elements, though, which made me . It's my least favourite of the series. Grainy graphics and an offputting Holmes.

Hi Yes. I, too, found the Arsene Lupin game difficult. But for me it was also the least interesting. [I never got that "must find out" feeling from it during play.] And sorry !! I obviously wasn't clear enough, Iurii. But I was only really talking about the Sherlock games from Frogwares. I, too, have played Sherlock releases from other developers - some of which were really difficult But I think Frogwares have given us the best modern ones - and IIRC they now hold the "rights" to the Sherlock video game franchise. AND they are so accommodating to their customers - offering an optional version of controls that doesn't cause motion sickness. Cheers. Mad

I've successfully managed to forget all about Mystery of the Mummy, Mikael. It drove me mad !! And yes, CountZero. As I said earlier, I, too, found that one boring. Although I did persevere and play to the end

"I've successfully managed to forget all about Mystery of the Mummy, Mikael. It drove me mad !!" That was the only Sherlock game I didn't like!

The Silver Earing for me also; but I was annoyed with the interactive help you couldn't turn off at the beginning of the Testament of Sherlock Holmes. I had me going in circles.
