''Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective'' is a series of 3 investigation video games developed and published by ''ICOM Simulations, Inc.'' between 1991 and 1993 and a collected volume with all 3 in 1993 for DOS. In 2012, a version for iPad & Windows was published by ''Zojoi, LLC''.

The game is notable for being one of the earliest "multimedia" titles, having been released on a CD ROM and featuring rather long (though windowed) video sequences with live actors as introductions and cutscenes, which frequently occur when the heroes investigate suspects. The main actors are [[Peter Farley]] as Sherlock Holmes and [[Warren Green]] as Dr. Watson.

'''The Two Lions''' 
It was a case of interest. One, a senseless murder of circus animals. The other, a simple mugging of a man. But were the double deaths of lions and Lyons connected or merely coincidental?

'''The Pilfered Paintings''' 
Achievements of an able, though obscure artist. Articles of cultural consequences. Now, the criminal appropriation of an unamed thief. Who would want to take the paintings? And why?

'''The Murdered Munitions Magnate''' 
A scribbled message. A missing file. The butt of a cigarette discarded. Signatures of a black alley murder. What was the motive? Financial acquisition, political advantage, or vengeance for fidelity betrayed?

'''The Solicitous Solicitor''' 
Charming and calculating. An unscrupulous Casanova turned corpse. It is said his death was due to a poor heart condition. It is suspected he was poisoned. Who did it and how?

'''The Banker's Final Debt''' 
It just doesn't add up. The man was hard-working. Unassuming. Quiet. Now, quite dead. There seems to be no surface motive for his murder. Yet someone wanted him silenced. Why?

'''The Thames Murders''' 
''Tamesis.'' "Broad River." The River Thames. Today, it allies five bodies upon its waves. Who dares t stain its waters? Are the deaths the sinister workings of a serial killer or simply isolated acts of murder?
