Reception

M. Evan Brooks reviewed the computer editions of Risk , Monopoly , Scrabble , and Clue for Computer Gaming World , and stated that "In this reviewer's opinion, Scrabble is the weakest product (given cumbersome play and graphics), while Risk and Clue: Master Detective are the strongest." [3]

Run found the need to look at the screen without other players seeing it to be awkward, but complimented the sound, graphics, and strategic elements. The magazine concluded, "It is a very satisfying way to play Sherlock Holmes on your very own C-64." [4]
