It was the first entry in the J.B. Harold series, which have been released on various platforms and sold 20 million copies as of 2011.[14][22] Story and gameplayA horrible murder has taken place in the sleepy little town of Liberty. Bill Robbins, a wealthy man known for his wild womanizing ways is the victim and, list of possible suspects keeps growing. As J.B. Harold you must figure out the who, what, where and why of the case. To solve the mystery you will need to travel to various locations, interview people and search for clues.[4] The game is laid out over a grid map that displays various locations, though other than that, the game is mainly presented in the form of still photos.[5] SeriesJ.B. Harold Murder Club is the first in the Japanese J. B. Harold series of murder mystery graphic adventure games, which includes Manhattan Requiem (1987),[6] Kiss of Murder (1988), D.C. Connection (1989),[7] and Blue Chicago Blues (1995).[6] J.B Harold Murder Club was the first title in the series to be released in the United States.[8] After the series sold 20 million copies, an iOS version of the second game Manhattan Requiem was released in the Western world.[9][10]Nintendo DSIn 2008, an enhanced remake of the game was released for the Japanese Nintendo DS,[8] under the title Keiji J.B. Harold no Jikenbo: Satsujin Club. ReceptionThe game was reviewed in 1991 in Dragon #176 by Hartley, Patricia and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars. They wrote that it is "a great game for mystery fans" and "a thinking game that is well worth the money."[11] TurboDuo reviewsVideo Games and Computer Entertainment critic, Donn Nauert, praised the game's sound, graphics, and playability, giving it an overall score of 9 out of 10.[4] Defunct Games stated, "This is the type of game that will no doubt appeal to the gamers who love a good murder mystery, and while it's not perfect there's no denying that it's the best game of its kind. This is the type of game you don't see much anymore, which is a real shame because for what it is J.B Harold is a lot of fun." They gave the game a score of 70%.[5]GameSpot included the game in its list of titles that deserve an enhanced remake, stating that it was "one of the most difficult games ever made", had "some of the most memorable voice acting of all time", and that "to this day there isn't much out there quite like it." They compared it to more recent titles such as the adventure games Shenmue (1999) and Shadow of Memories (2001) as well as the role-playing video game Knights of the Old Republic (2003), stating that it similarly features "character interaction as the major gameplay element" and has "a similar type of multiple phrase response."[12]ControversyThe game generated some controversy for its reference to a fictional, unsolved rape. As Donn Nauert stated, "I don't think this is a subject that the American public is comfortable with in a video game, even though it's not dealt with graphically..."[4] In their review of the game, Dragon also criticized it for not including "a warning on the box about the mature subject matter in this game" in reference to the unsolved rape case.[11] Notes1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/201708020041/|title=Nintendo Switch「刑事 J.B.ハロルドの事件簿 マーダー・クラブ」が8月10日に配信決定―刑事J.B.ハロルドとなって難事件解決を目指していくADV|website=Gamer|accessdate=August 2, 2017}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=JB Harold no Jikenbo #1: Murder Club|publisher=GameSpot|url=http://www.gamespot.com/msx/action/jbharoldnojikenbo1murderclub/index.html|accessdate=2011-03-24}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 {{MobyGames|id=/murder-club|name=Murder Club}} 4. ^1 2 Video Games and Computer Entertainment, July 1991, p. 44 5. ^1 {{cite web|title=J.B.
