Here's your chance to be a forensic scientist and help solve some dastardly murder! Each game begins by the discovery of a body which has been contaminated with some chemical plus ink stains. But for each murder the scenario is different.

Your task is to discover by chemical analysis what the contamination on the body is and try to detect the murderer from a given list of suspects, all of whom have some sort of contamination on the sales of their shoes. Each suspect is given an alibi which may or may not be true.

The various tests include: flame, HCL. barium chloride, sodium chloride, chromatography, etc.

This is an interesting game to play and could be quite useful for those studying 'O' Level Chemistry. In any event, it is fun. A pity that, except in the chromatography tests, so little use was made of graphics.
