Sherlock Holmes: Another bow

Sherlock Holmes: Another Bow is a 1985 DOS adventure featuring Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective in a mystery that requires observation, deduction, and a willingness to investigate suspicious details. The game belongs to the early generation of computer detective adventures, relying heavily on text and logical problem-solving rather than action. Players examine situations, gather information, question characters, and attempt to piece together the case before reaching the wrong conclusion. The interface may look primitive today, but the underlying idea is timeless: give the player a mystery and let them try to outthink it. The experience is deliberately slower than a modern adventure, making patience an essential investigative tool. There is no helpful objective marker telling you where to go next, which means Sherlock's greatest superpower is still useful: paying attention. It is a charming relic of an era when solving a case meant reading carefully rather than clicking everything in sight.
