How to Decide
Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective Vol. II is best known for its full‑motion video actors delivering three richly written Victorian mysteries, and it’s a favorite among fans of classic detective adventures. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel leans on a classic 256‑color VGA pixel‑art style and a text‑parser/mouse interface, while Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective emphasizes native Mac support and multiple FMV murder cases.
When choosing a replacement, consider the visual presentation (cinematic FMV versus retro pixel art), platform compatibility (native Mac execution versus DOS‑emulation requirements), the primary clue‑delivery method (video clips and searchable newspaper archives versus text‑parser dialogue and inventory‑based investigation), and the breadth of case content (multiple distinct murders versus a single bundled scenario).
