You may be somewhat pleased to know that I have in my hot little hands (ok, on my hot little Mac Mini) native OS-X versions of all 5 of the Sherlock series of games (including Baker Street). You may also be frustrated to know that they're not yet publicly available. :-) I'm still in the process of putting together ALL of my games for OS-X, and plan to have them for sale via online download within a month . Sale on CD may have to wait until later this fall or this winter, as I have to get to work soon on an entirely new game for fall introduction. But yes, my "Mac promises" of the past several years are finally being fulfilled! :-) Everett Peter wrote…

I'm terribly afraid of bringing another game of this ilk into our household. Thank you for the temptation. ;) My wife and I loved Sherlock – I especially liked customising the icons so I could play with my own choice of symbols, although I believe we just hacked this; it wasn’t a supported feature.
