A cool hack that brings a new flavorAtari The Jedi2024-02-05Version 1.0

The Sherlock Holmes back is a fun one. Could use just a hair revision, however, overall extremely playable. Keeps the game fresh and has me playing. Highly recommend A+++

Great, but only one problemKuda2022-09-08Version 1.0

Great job on changing the sprites, as well as the details in the scenery that indicate that you are in England.

The color palette is also well used, unlike other hacks that use garish colors, losing the dark touch of the original game.

Excellent work in the dialogues that have been changed as well as the cutscenes to tell us the story of Sherlock Holmes of the series.

The only bad thing was that Stage 4-3 was not modified on a large scale like the other stages, but there is a bridge that takes you straight to the boss. This really annoyed me because this stage could have been modified even slightly to make the level challenging, instead the stage is now totally skippable.
