Read note, Examine window, Examine desk, Examine note with glass (you notice
the watermark “IMPC 632” on the paper), Examine bookcase, Examine ancient
weapons, Get revolver, Examine trademarks (IMPC = The Imperial Paper Co., LTD.,
whose office is located in Picadilly Circus), Examine imports (all inks coming
from China are imported by Dihn Imports, located in Limehouse), Go door, D,
Left, Examine rack, Go front, Left, Go cab, Picadilly (sic! that’s how the
programmer spelled it) Circus, Enter Imperial Paper, Examine files (clue leads
to the Savoy Hotel), Exit, Left, Left, Examine sofa, Examine hat (it’s
Watson’s), Examine desk, Payoff clerk (Watson is supposed to be in room 213),
Right, Left, Enter room, Examine bed, Examine covers, Exit, D, Exit, Go ahead,
Scotland Yard, Examine La Strade (sic! that’s how the programmer spelled
inspector “Lestrade”), Go cab, Limehouse, Enter Dihn, Examine files, Exit,
Right, Go pier, D (Watson’s bag is here), Examine bag, Row dingy, D, Go ahead
(a clue is found leading to the Brown Derby Pub, West End), Get matchbook, U,
Enter dingy, Go ahead, Go ahead, 211 Baker Street, Go door, U, Right, Examine
desk, Examine key, Examine bookcase, Examine dictionary (the matchbook contains
clues in the form of directions: “store room, wine rack, left, left, right”),
Go door, D, Go front, Left, Go cab, West End, Go Brown Derby Pub, Go rear
Note: I don’t know if this is a bug or intentional, but what you are supposed
to do next never seems to work the first time you enter the pub. You are
supposed to go to the rear room, which is a storeroom, but it keeps sending you
to the ladies room! So do this:
Go out (you are back on the streets), Enter Brown Derby, Go rear
If it doesn’t work the second time, keep trying this until it lets you in the
storeroom.
Examine rack, Push rack, D, Examine sewer (remember those cryptic directions on
the matchbook?), Left, Left, Right, Insert key, Shoot (Moriarty manages to
avoid getting hit, shoots back, misses you as well, then escapes; there does
not seem to be a way to avoid this ending), Jump trap door (you free Watson)
THE END
