I'm having trouble decided which if not all I should pick up.

I would like to know (from the people that have played these) ...

  • Which of these are the BEST
  • Which is ok
  • Which isn't worth the 75 cents
  • And any opinions overall

I guess they are all worth the 75 cents at least, what else could you buy for 75 cents?

Depends on personal taste. Some are hidden object games, so if you don't like these they might not be for you. (I like them.)

Here's a link to the discussion of the bundle at GOG, which has some personal opinions from people who played them. (Link is directly to the first of these.)

Out of the ones I've played on CD-ROM I found Silver Earring the best, and Awakened 2nd best. Nemesis wasn't as good but it is supposed to be better than Mystery of the Mummy. Hound (Hidden Object Game) gets pretty good reviews so if you don't mind HOGs then that I'm sure is worth it, but Persian Carpet's reviews aren't so great. Can't really comment about Dracula.

I'll go with Silver Earing, Awakened, and Nemesis.
Baskerville and Persian Carpet are Hidden Objects Games, so I won't mind them, except if you're a casual gamer in the genre. But you'll miss all the pleasure of dialogs and adventure you'll find in the other games.
From what I've read, Mummy is horrible and oldish, even when it came out.
Dracula Origin has great puzzles, but lacks in his scenario and dialogs.

I hope The Testament of Sherlock Holmes will find a way into the bundle, though I really doubt it ^^ other than that I probably would and maybe will take The Awakened, Nemesis and The Silver Earring

Mystery of the Mummy is the worst one by far. I would vote for Jack the Ripper as the best one of the Sherlock games. I haven't played that Dracula game yet, nor any of the hidden object games.

Of those in the bundle list, I'd pick Nemesis and The Awakened. The Hound and Persian Carpet are hidden objects games and I personally don't care for the genre. I haven't played the Dracula ones, I can't say anything about them.

Sadly the 2 most interesting are not in the bundle.
I played SH vs Jack the Ripper and I liked it. It's "easy" compared to "standard" adventure games, but I found it as good as reading SH's novels.
The Testament of SH also appears to be very interesting, but again it's not there... and the price is still too high for my wallet. :)
