Holmes has to travel all over Great Britain by train so he can find clues.
He first searches the cities looking for locations he can investigate more thoroughly.
Once he finds the locations, such as parks, sewers, or houses, the game switches to a side-scrolling action game.
In these areas clues and items can be found either laying around or by interrogating hostile thugs.
Dealing with the thugs will slowly build up a percentage that Holmes will have to get to one hundred percent in order to finish the game.
In each city Holmes is looking for the main boss who when defeated gives out a password.
This password then must be used at a gang hideout to complete a city's investigation.
Holmes can kick enemies (and also innocent citizens who happen to cough up some money when defeated) as a means of offense.
He can also acquire weapons such as a knife or a gun as additional offensive options.
Holmes can also collect several inventory items like a magnifying glass, a lamp, keys, and medicine bottles to assist him along the way.
Holmes has to be careful not to fall into a pit, be shot or even be touched too many times, or else this case will remain forever unsolved.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Sherlock for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Sherlock to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 2015.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Sherlock, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
