Shareware Version 2.0 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 � Welcome to PC-Sherlock � �= A Game of Logic and Deduction =� 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 CATALOG DESCRIPTION Looking for a change from those strategy & action games? How about a game of "pure logic" that challenges you in a battle of wits against the PC and also improves your logical reasoning. You and your PC compete to break each other's secret-code using the clues of Bulls & Cows. The rules are unbelievably simple but, believe me, the play can be complex. Witness how the PC plays superb Mastermind, as if you are playing against a human. Artificial intelligence? Find out for yourself. Runs on IBM compatibles with VGA graphics. Shareware.
