I should have said there I didn't see any adventure games I would be 
interested in except maybe the Sherlock Holmes game you mention above. I 
bought several of them when they still sold them in stores where I am - such 
as Sherlock Nemesis, Jack the Ripper, The silver Earring, The Awakened. I 
think they had the same actor playing Sherlock and I liked his acting, plus 
the same Watson who I liked. I don't think Sherlock Holmes Testament game 
was the same  actor playing Sherlock. maybe it was ok, I havent played it. I 
don't care for episodic games. But yes, you have to download all games now 
and takes a long time to download as I don't have a really fast speed 
package and too expensive to get a faster speed..
