ref. 171865Los Angeles: Antler Productions 1987. Shooting Script for the 1987 hybrid VHS board game copy belonging to screenwriter Stephen Sustarsic with manuscript pencil and ink annotations of his name and an address on the title page. An internally duplicated copy with the majority of pages with copied punch holes with occasional manuscript pencil annotations checking characters or scenes. A unique and important example of video game construction from the heart of its era one that pulled Sherlockiana into its concept. Deluxe 304-page script housed in a large generic pink three-ring binder with ten-page dividers nine labeled for each of the game's ten mysteries. Each mystery includes a title page noting screenwriters and draft date a one or two page Short Rundown and a cast page followed by the segment's script. Three "Promo" segments are interspersed throughout the script to assist and instruct players through gameplay. Bound in following the script is a six-page Staff List two copies of a 15-page Shooting Schedule dated 8/3/87 and a 15-page Shooting Schedule dated 8/7/87. Laid in the binder's pockets are two copies of a four-page Shooting Schedule dated 8/9/87 and a copy of directions to "The Complex" in West Los Angeles. "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. The concept was an attempt by the game developers to remain relevant by incorporating the latest technological innovations prior to the ascension of modern video game consoles. Screenwriter and producer Sustarsic is best known as an Emmy Award winning screenwriter for the 1988-1991 animated Disney series "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" the 2004 Independent Comedy Horror film "Lucky" and the 2017 animated Disney XD series "Xiaolin Chronicles - Special Edition."
