Off the top of my head:
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Silver Earring
Sherlock Holmes: Mystery of the Mummy
Mysterious Island
Journey to the Centre of the Earth
Jules Verne: Journey to the Moon
Murder on the Orient Express
All of these are either dreadful to middling - in my opinion, obviously. The developers seem to think that basing a story on classic literature is more than enough to sell a product. Gameplay itself seems to be quite unimportant.
