Lozenge and Hampshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lozenge and Hampshire is a browser-based adventure game [1] series for all ages.

The game series was created by James Evans and was hosted at the site http://www.frontiernet.net/~adani/lozenge/mystery [2]. While the site is no longer in operation, it can still be found using the Wayback Machine Internet Archive, although the games are no longer playable [3].

[edit] Series Description

Here is a description of the series, taken from the Lozenge and Hampshire Fan Forum [4]:

Randolph Lozenge and Archibald Hampshire, the RGDs (Really Good Detectives) solve mysteries from their flat in Baker Street, owned by Mrs. Bunson. Accompanied by PC Fudge and assigned their missions by Inspector Bungham, they've encountered everything from a foreign chef to a murderous Santa! However, they always keep their cool, and, depite the eccentricity of their universe, they continue to solve any case that crosses their path.

The characters and setting are inspired by the Sherlock Holmes novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.[citation needed] Despite being offline for several years, the series is missed for its droll sense of humor and solid adventure gameplay.[citation needed] Its current absence from the Internet is discussed in online forums [5].
