Esty- Another 'DuH moment':  Play it on a PS2 or Xbox to gain the ability to play with a console controller!  ;)


Wait, PS2 plays DVD's? Holy crap, I've never done that.

I bought PS2 late (2005-2005?), when I didn't watch DVD's much anymore.

Holy crap.

Good job on beating order of the griffon Necro. I kinda wish someone would bugfix the battle music before I dive into it.

I'd love to see comparisons of Sherlock between Turbob, Sega, and DVD versions.  Doo eeeet, esty!  :mrgreen:



Clear #29 - Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective Vol. 2



There's very little difference between the original and the sequel.  The judge is now in FMV glory and the video quality seems a touch better (SuperCD improvements or just wishful thinking?), but otherwise it's the same exact game with three different cases to solve.

268 that isn't to shabby of a score.  Last itme I played a case I scored 3XX to holmes 30 ish.   not sure of the exact amount just rember thinking damn I need to solve the case 10X faster to break even with him. 
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Out of curiosity, I just checked gamefaqs to see what it takes to get Holmes's score; you only get to visit a handful of people / locations (a mere 3-5 for most cases).  Boring!

The game does look kind of boring. How quick did you beat it?

Maybe three hours for each game, about an hour or so per case.

Man I COULD NOT play through Sherlock Holmes. Not back in 2005 when I first got it, not now after I dont have it.

Props for slugging through that .

Why not?  Too slow paced, can't take the fmv quality, just don't like the genre, or ?

Love FMV games. It the pacing I suppose. The Genre is hard to distinguish. I do like mystery games like graphic adventures a lot. But Sherlock I could not do it. Nor the giant ant game it came from ....

I remember loving Sherlock Holmes on the Sega CD (even while squinting through the grains). I am not sure I could handle the crazy frame rate of the Turbo version after growing up with the version on the Turbob's rival.

Clear #30 - Yawara!



Not a horrible digi-comic but not a particularly good one either.  Maybe it'd be better if I could read the script, but from what I could figure out not a whole heck of a lot was going on.

The Good: cute Yawara; nice looking pastel, watercolor-esque backgrounds; and funny facial expressions from your boss and Yawara's sensei (particularly the intermission screens).

The Bad: the backgrounds are almost all static; mostly muzak tunes; no real puzzles or challenge; and the story is rather bland.

The Ugly: only one upskirt panty shot!
