It's packaged in the "Gold Cartridge" form common for Mark III (Master System) games, but don't be fooled, this is actually an SG-1000 game. It got this branding because it's a full megabit cartridge, as it's an adventure game

unlabelledView post →The game is okay, I guess... (It was on sale in a bundle and cost like 1.50€) It is different from all the other Frogwares Sherlock Holmes games which are mainly point-and-click adventures. This one is a Hidden Object game with puzzles in between. Even on the highest difficulty the game is pretty easy. A few objects are annoyingly small or have nearly the same colour as the background (clicking all over the screen in frustration did the trick). Most of the puzzles are not very complex or…

unlabelledView post →WOW this game is NOT good. I know it's old but WOW. Finding the hidden objects is incredibly difficult when the objects are TINY and put in places where they practically BLEND INTO THE BACKGROUND. The absolute worse offenders of this is having to find strands of hair or shoe prints or ashes in dark areas or areas with a lot of details. Most of my time searching was squinting and rapidly clicking around and praying to God. The story is simple but unrewarding and gets complicated near the end,…

You're tasked with solving the case of a murder of a young painter that was found wrapped in an expensive Persian carpet, but when you start digging into his past you find that he's had quite a few enemies. There's actually not much of a story here. The game is level based and every level you go to a location look for items, solve a couple puzzles and then Sherlock barely updates on…
