Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes - most misunderstood 3DO game?
I admit I was stunned how many people thought this 3DO masterpiece was just a port of the TG-16/Sega CD fmv game! Check out the comments in this thread alone (and comment while you're at it) ...

Do you think this identity crisis has contributed to the game being underappreciated by 3DO fans? Does knowing that it is a completely different game now make you wan't to check it out if you skipped it in the past?

You should definitely check it out. The Sega CD game was ok, and I do have some fun memories of it ... but Sherlock on 3DO is so far beyond it. Totally different, and much, much better.oldskool wrote:I'll have to check it out. I thought it was the same game I beat on the Sega CD.

I knew it wasn't the fmv game and I still couldn't get into it, too slow and boring but then adventure games aren't my thing.

The game is slower no doubt, but that's pretty much par for the course w/the entire genre. It may not win over people who don't care for point n' click graphic adventures at all, but fans would be hard pressed to find a better representation.Scarlettkitten wrote:I knew it wasn't the fmv game and I still couldn't get into it, too slow and boring but then adventure games aren't my thing.

I agree, if you're into point n click adventures and like a challenge it's worth a look.Trev wrote:The game is slower no doubt, but that's pretty much par for the course w/the entire genre.

I'd enjoy seeing an advert for the game. I can see why the 3DO port didn't get one, as it was released over a year later. Plus 3DO games didn't seem to get much advertisement, especially in the early days. But I'd think the game must have had some pc ads.

I have tried looking and found nothing, I always try and collect ads and posters for my favorite games. If I see one I will snag it for the right price.Trev wrote:I'd enjoy seeing an advert for the game. I can see why the 3DO port didn't get one, as it was released over a year later.

I've never really looked myself, but now I'm curious. Will have to see if I can find any.zook1981 wrote:I have tried looking and found nothing, I always try and collect ads and posters for my favorite games.

I thought about buying old VG magazine issues but all the sellers on Ebay want too much money. Even the lots are too much. I was hoping I could find someone that just wanted to clear out room and just make me pay for shipping but no dice. I don't want to spend $50 or more on a stack of magazines that probably won't have it.Trev wrote:I've never really looked myself, but now I'm curious.
