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

It does kinda work but now the game is so small on my monitor that I can't see/ read anything. And I have to be careful to not click outside of the game window, otherwise the cursor will disappear.

At first glance the game seemed like a massive improvement over its predecessor, and this motivated me to start it soon after finishing the traumatic experience of completing the first game without using a guide. The whole game feels a lot more polished than the first game. It looks better, sounds better, and obviously had a lot more…

unlabelledView post →Literally unplayable. Frogwares have been such incompetent fools back in 2004. Silver Earring is their 2nd Sherlock Holmes game and like the previous "Mystery of the Mummy" sucks beyond acceptable levels. I was told Silver Earring can be considered the actual start of the franchise. But this is an outdated mess like the previous one! Slow walking mixed with horrible pathing lead to horrible movement and stuttering in between. The dark clues are on dark surfaces which makes them hard to see,…

unlabelledView post →"Secret of the Silver Earring" is the second game in the Frogwares Sherlock Holmes franchise. Consider this the real start of the series though, because it introduces the Sherlock Holmes character model and voice actor that will be used through the next three titles: "Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened," "Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis," and "Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper." It is also the first game to include Dr. John Watson, and the first to show Holmes and Watson's apartment at 221 Baker Street.…
