Yeah, you're right!

The worst moment was in Switzerland - I got stuck for couple of hours, checked the walkthrough, and then tried to get into the right position for 30 minutes. I just hope they'll work that out for next Sherlock game.

For what it's worth, I think the Mummy one was one of the worst modern adventures I can think of.

Yeah, that's the one I played and I had to resort to a walkthrough so many times which I hate doing. Made me feel not very clever.

Then again, I've read some other posts of risingson, quite a few of which show his arrogance. Tut tut
Whilst risingson's comment wasn't called for there's no need to respond in kind. Can we get back to the topic please.

Perhaps you could expand on why you found the rose tattoo boring? Was it an overall feeling or was it particular aspects that failed to inspire you?

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree

My response was somewhat tongue in cheek and with all due respect, if you're so above making an issue out of things you could also have just said nothing rather than drawing attention to it again.

It's been a long time since I played rose tattoo so I don't remember a whole lot about it. Perhaps if I played it again I'd be more inspired this time around. I think I might have had a problem with too much dialogue and not enough adventure game type puzzles. And the style of graphics was a bit static I think. The game just wasn't much fun.

The only two I've ever played were The silver earring, and mystery of the mummy, suffice to say, Silver Earring was my fave as I couldn't bring myself to play more than the intro to MOTM, it was so poorly made.
