The Scoop

A detective adventure inspired by Agatha Christie’s collaborative story, The Scoop (1989, DOS) turns you into a newspaper reporter poking around a suspicious death with nothing but intuition, a notebook, and an impressive tolerance for evasive witnesses. You’ll interview suspects, chase leads, and dig through clues that occasionally contradict each other just to keep things spicy. The interface is simple, but the writing shines: witty, tight, and very British. Solving the mystery feels rewarding, especially when you finally corner the culprit with evidence they definitely hoped you’d overlook. It’s a cozy, brainy experience for amateur sleuths.
