SHERLOCK HOLMES: The Case Of The Rose Tattoo - Part 1 Walkthrough Written by Dave Timoney c 1996 The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo. This walkthru is c 1996 by Dave Timoney. NOTE: There is a lot of flexibility in this game, allowing you to go to various sundry locations in haphazard order. In fact, the order that I went through the game when writing the walkthru is not the order in which I played the first time - hindsight (or notes) is such a wonderful thing. So, this is less a walkthru than a script of what to do to get past a scene or puzzle.
