Abstract

The article explores the Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes series, a pair of highly regarded graphic adventure games released by Electronic Arts in the 1990s. These games are praised for their authentic dialogue, immersive atmosphere, and original cases that stay true to Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic detective. The article delves into the challenges of translating Holmes' deductive reasoning into a game format and highlights the collaboration between writers Eric Lindstrom and RJ Berg. Overall, the Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes series offers players the chance to solve mysteries in 1880s London through a verbal interface and detailed descriptions of people and objects. The article also touches on the development and reception of "The Case of the Serrated Scalpel," a game from the series, as well as its successor, "The Case of the Rose Tattoo," which introduced in-game video. Additionally, the article briefly mentions other video game adaptations of Sherlock Holmes. [Extracted from the article]
