Sherlock Holmes – Hakushaku Reijou Yuukai Jiken is a 1986 action-platformer for the NES, developed by Towa Chiki. Instead of a traditional mystery, this unique take on the famous detective drops Holmes into a fast-paced, side-scrolling world where you must fight enemies and gather clues to rescue the Earl’s kidnapped daughter.
How to Play
Navigate the streets and sewers of Victorian England, defeating thugs and finding hidden clues to progress through the case. In the browser, use the arrow keys to move, Z to jump, and X to attack. Use Enter for Start and Shift for Select.
Tips
- Attacking innocent civilians will drain your life gauge, so watch your targets carefully in crowded areas.
- Collecting magnifying glasses is essential, as they reveal the hidden clues you need to complete the stages.
- The jumping mechanics are notoriously stiff. Build up some momentum before attempting to cross wide gaps.
