About Scotland Yard

Scotland Yard for the Game Boy is an adaptation of a Ravensburger board game. The objective is to apprehend a fugitive known as Mr. X by moving detective pieces across a city map.

Players can operate in several international locations, with later stages presenting a challenging increase in map complexity. Transportation is managed by securing train stations, which allows for faster movement during the pursuit.

Victory is achieved when a detective occupies the same space as Mr. X, resulting in his arrest. The core dynamic involves controlling multiple investigators to corner a single elusive opponent.
