Sherlock Holmes & The Mystery of the Mummy

The release of 221B, the online Sherlock Holmes game from Warner Brothers made me think of other Sherlock Holmes video games that I have seen and played. The stories of Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. John Watson as written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle have been the basis for many computer games. While most have stayed true to Conan Doyle’s story lines, a few games use his characters, but the game creators have written their own story lines.

There currently are Sherlock Holmes games available for PC, Mac and Nintendo with some available for immediate download. Of course the ones you can download cost less than the hard copies you can buy.
