"221B Baker Street" was a popular board game developed by Jay Moriarty and produced by Antler Productions in 1975 in which players solve up to 75 mysteries with Sherlock Holmes and his associate Dr. Watson by using clues provided by visiting locations on the game board and using Scotland Yard Badges and Skeleton Keys cards to control opponents' access to locations. In 1987 on the centennial anniversary of Arthur Conan Doyle's first published Sherlock story Moriarty and Antler released two new adaptations of the board game: a video game produced by Datasoft and a VCR board game the latter featuring ten new mysteries and a videocassette of dramatized briefings and reenactments-represented by the script on offer here. VCR board games were a short-lived fad in the mid-to-late-1980s in which board games would include a VHS tape to be played at certain points in the game to act as a timer reveal clues or advance a plot.
