- Distribution information
-
-
- This is a game for the IBM PC family of compatible computers.
-
- Sherlock is a game of deduction. It is your task, based upon the
- information available in provided clues, to determine the locations
- of 36 blocks. Every puzzle can be solved by using the clues to
- eliminate possibilities until the location of a specific block can
- be determined. Sherlock may be played by a SINGLE person, or a
- TOURNAMENT may be set up, with each person in the TOURNAMENT
- attempting to solve the same puzzle as quickly as possible. A
- TIME LIMIT may be set if desired.

- of RAM on the display adapter; early IBM EGA cards
- will not work). It will NOT work on CGA, MDA, or
- Hercules display adapters.
