Dr. Watson is tasked with retrieving the stolen Crown Jewels within 48 hours to prevent a royal scandal. The era is late 19th century, and takes place entirely in London. The trap was set by Moriarty, of course. With on-screen hints. [De Waal C17832 ]. :Having read all the Conan Doyle Holmes stories, I found SHERLOCK a positive delight to play." - SPAG. Note: this game is on a timer: 48 hours is all that is allowed. The game is more like a treasure hunt than a detective investigation, and it is admired for its humour, and its exciting climax. It is also notable as the last all-text infocom adventure game.
