Scotland Yard for the Game Boy (1990) is an adventure game that places players in the shoes of detectives hunting down a mysterious fugitive in London. The main objective is to track and capture the elusive Mr. X before he escapes the city using various modes of transportation.
The game features a turn-based pace where players must carefully plan their moves across the city map, utilizing clues and transportation tickets to narrow down the suspect's possible locations. Each turn offers a strategic challenge, balancing exploration with deduction.
A distinctive mechanic is the use of a hidden movement system for Mr. X, whose position is only occasionally revealed, creating tension and requiring logical reasoning. Unlike many adventure titles, Scotland Yard emphasizes strategic pursuit over combat, making it a unique detective experience on the handheld platform.
