How many games about Sherlock Holmes and where to find them

In childhood, when I only met Sherlock Holmes, having read several stories and getting acquainted with the film adaptation with Livanov, I wondered: is there a game about the great detective? Of course, if Sherlock Holmes is the most screen character, then the games should also be. However, it turned out that these games are not very popular, but for me it is the most favorite games.
This article is for those who want to play games about Mr. Holmes, but do not know how many of them and where to download them/buy. I will follow the chronology of the release of the series of games, because some studios released whole series.

Content:

1. Text Advent

Old games for old operating systems and consoles, in which you are unlikely to play. Basically, work with the text is underway, in some, there are not even pictures. There is no localization. But still, if you want to play, I think it’s enough to google or say, but be very careful! Do not download from unverified sites! There may be viruses in the files!
Hold the list from Wikipedia:

2. Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective

Three games about Sherlock Holmes (+ set of these three on DVD), but I did not play in them. There is no localization. The game is even old, but it seems to me that people who know English will be very interesting to play. These games seem very beautiful to me.

1. Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective Vol. I (1992) (ICOM SIMOLATIONS) (PC, Sega CD, TURBOGRAFX-CD)
2. Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective Vol. II (1992) (ICOM SIMULATIONS) (PC, Sega CD, TURBOGRAFX-CD)
3. Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective Vol. III (1993) (ICOM SIMULATIONS) (PC, Sega CD, TURBOGRAFX-CD)
4. Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective (1999) (Infinite Ventures) (DVD Player, Interactive Movie Game)

Can be downloaded on torrents old versions.
I recommend buying an updated version of the first part at Steam (in Steam it is divided into 3 cases, as into separate games, but there are no other parts in Steam):
Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective Collection

3. The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes

Two good games, but there is a problem – it is difficult to find on Windows.

1. Sherlock Holmes: the case of a jagged scalpel (1992) (Mythos Software) (PC, 3DO – 1994)
2. Sherlock Holmes: the case of a tattooed rose (1996) (Mythos Software) (PC)

But the one who knows how to use emulators will play games. The second game has complete Russian localization.

4. Sherlock Holmes: Return Moriarty

Quest from the “Buk”, in which I recommend not to https://london-eye-casino.uk/ play!
The reasons why I want to play:
1. Voices of Livanov, Solomin, etc.
2. Locations.
3. Classical music.
Why is it not worth playing:
1. A terrible plot.
2. Constant flights.
3. “Dead ends”, t.e. If I did something wrong, for example, I talked with that character, then it’s no longer possible to go through the game, so if you play for the plot, you have to print a sheet with passage, and go through it, although you can even get into a “dead end”.
4. Part of the screen flickens (Note: Patch has already been made)

Sherlock Holmes: Moriarty Return (2000) (BUKA Entertainment) (PC)

Easy to find on torrents.
Who does not want with all sorts of problems and “dead ends”, he can see this dumb passage.

5. The adventures of Sherlock Holmes

On chronology, there should now be games from frogwarees, but I will tell about them last.
Two children’s and slightly strange quest about Sherlock Holmes.
By the way, it is strange that in the Russian version the second part is the one that is the first in the original and vice versa (But it’s not exactly).

1. Sherlock Holmes – The Case of the Vanishing Thief (2004) (Gamex/Greenstreet Games) (PC)
2. Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Time Machine (2006) (Gamex/Greenstreet Games) (PC)

Look for torrents.

6. The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes

Two games of the genre “Search of objects”. Probably, the developers were inspired by games from Frogwarees, at the very beginning you can notice some similarities between them, but not today.

1. Sherlock Holmes. Unknown stories (2008) (Legacy Interactive) (Mac, PC)
2. Sherlock Holmes. Secrets of Baker Street (2010) (Legacy Interactive) (Mac, PC)

It is easy to download both on torrents, and just download in a browser, the main thing is to drive into a search engine.

7. Game Gaya Richie films

Games on films about Sherlock Holmes with Robert Dauni ml. The first on cell phones, the second on an iPhone, iPad and iPad, the third on PC (online).
The first two based on Sherlock Holmes (2009), and the third – “Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows (2011)”

1. Sherlock Holmes: The Official Movie Game (2009) (Gameloft) (Cell Phone Game)
2. Sherlock Holmes Mysteries (2009) (Warner Bros.) (iPhone/iPod/iPad-2010)
3. Sherlock Holmes 2: CheckMate (2011) (Sticky Game Studios) (PC, Mac Online Game)

8. Games on iPhone/iPod

I will not say anything about them because I have neither iPhone nor iPod.

1. Sherlock Holmes Trivia (2009) (Phoenix Venture, LLC) (iPhone/iPod)
2. Sherlock Holmes: The Game is Afoot (2009) (Mobile Deluxe) (iPhone/iPod)
3. Detective Holmes – Hidden Objects (2010) (Warelex) (iPhone/iPod)
4. Holmes (2011) (Lukassen) (iPhone/iPod)

I. The adventures of Sherlock Holmes (series of games from FroGWARES)

Finally we reached the best series of games about Sherlock Holmes!
A small Ukrainian studio was able to create real masterpieces!

1. Sherlock Holmes: Five Egyptian figurines (2002) (FroGWares) (PC)
2. Sherlock Holmes: The riddle of silver Seryozha (2004) (FroGWares) (PC, Mobile phone, WII, DVD)

15. Sherlock Holmes: Daughter of the Devil (2016) (frogwarees) (PC, Xbox One, PS4)

Note: It is believed that they are not 15, but – 12. And in this list, so because Sherlock Holmes and the Secret of Kthulhu and Sherlock Holmes v. Arsen Lupen have reprints, and Sherlock Holmes: Five Egyptian Figurettes Version on PC and Nintendo DS (WII, iOS) are two different options for the game, these are not straight ports.

These games are full on torrents, but I recommend that some I recommend, and if you want to buy everything, then you need to do this according to the instructions:
