Private Eye is a video game developed byBrooklyn Multimedia and published bySimon & Schuster Interactive forWindows in 1996 andMacintosh in 1997.
Private Eye is a murder mystery starringPhilip Marlowe where the player chooses how Marlowe handles the case.[1]
Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "Unfortunately, there just isn't much game to hang it on. A click or two every 10 minutes does not balance out the hole it'll leave in your checkbook. Even with its alternate endings and intriguing story, you'd probably be better off rentingThe Big Sleep (the Bogart version, not Mitchum)."[1]
