PC-Sherlock - A Game of Logic & Deduction

(Free Old Software)

WARNING: This is a very old DOS game. It runs fine on Windows in a DOS screen. It takes up a full-screen but you can always interrupt the game at any stage by Alt-Enter keys and go back to your work. You can then resume the game from where you left off by clicking on that DOS window. If it does not run on your Windows system, please let us know so that we can document any known problems here.

Description: Can machines think? Find out by playing this game of "pure logic" against your own PC. You and the PC play detective and engage in a war-of-minds to break each other's secret-code using the clues of Bulls and Cows. See the tutorial in the game for more information. PC-Sherlock is a fun way to improve your logic! Another name for this classic game is MasterMind. But, there is a big difference with other MasterMind games that you may have seen. Here, your PC becomes a formidable opponent and unless you are a mastermind expert, it will consistently beat you in breaking your secret code. The game supports 3, 4 and 5 digit mastermind.
