LIMEHOUSE MYSTERY – PART 1
Global Games
Spectrum 48
While you ultimate goal is to free the professor and his daughter and
find the accelerator, following the Sarajevo incident that sparked WWI,
this probably occurs in Part 2, which I have not been able to find and
play. Part 1 is playable, but you don't really know what you are to do,
nor with what you are to leave the house. There are many useless objects
in Part 1 – however, these are collected and placed by the front door,
so if Part 2 is ever found, you don't need to replay the entire game.
