4.0 out of 5 stars A classic point and click adventure, December 31, 2008
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes Case of the Serrated Scalpel (CD-ROM)
The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel, originally released in 1992 by Electronic Arts, is a classic point and click adventure game. Rendered in 256 color VGA, this game uses a point and click interface rather than a typed parser interface. It runs in DOS, meaning that folks using Windows will need to download a DOS emulator such as DOSbox in order to play it.

Set in 1890's London shortly after the Jack the Ripper murders, the player is cast as the great Sherlock Holmes himself, on the trail of the murderer of a low class actress. The investigation leads the player across London in search of clues and the culprit. With Watson along for the ride, Holmes confronts a wide cast of characters and collects information that leads to both motive and murder.

As far as traditional adventure games go, this one isn't too bad. The game is moderately entertaining and has a pretty good plot progression. The mystery involved is a fairly solid one with a good number of character to interact with and a number of red herrings. There are a number of puzzle oriented situations in this game and not all are entirely intuitive.

Sound is what you'd expect from a game of the early 90's. The CD-Rom version has some voice acting during cut scenes, but for most of the game, dialog is shown as text. The music is understated and suitable for the game setting though during the cut scenes it gets a little loud.

Overall, despite the dated graphics, this game remains a solid adventure game and well worth a play for those adventure gamers out there. In terms of story and game play, it's certainly better than a lot of the pointless puzzle games that seem to be the norm for adventure games these days (Keepsake, those dumb Atlantis games, etc). It's not the greatest mystery, but overall, the game will provide a few good hours of entertainment.
