Sheerluck

A detective logic puzzle. A line-up of 2 to 8 places stands under the names JIM, BOB, ABE, ROB, BUD, SAM, TOM and DAN, and each place holds one of eight suspects, all different. Put a suspect in every place and accuse. The TRUTH METER shows how many are the right suspect in the right place, in red, and how many are a right suspect in the wrong place, in green. Each accusation costs a point of the case's score; line them all up right to solve the case. A case whose score reaches zero is lost. A career is eight cases, and the line-up grows when you solve a case with plenty of score to spare. The final rank is the average rating of the eight cases, up to GRAND SLEUTH.

Controls: Use either controller. On the title, up and down choose START or CREDITS and a button selects. In play, left and right move the cursor, up and down change the suspect, and either button accuses. After a case, a button goes on.
