Probably boring to the wizards, but I love the Sherlock Holmes 'Rose Tattoo' game. I can't work out if I can play it through ubuntu.
If it is possible, could some helpful soul please gives me a steer in the right direction.
Thank you.

As far as I understand, you want to play a windows (dos?) game from 1996 into ubuntu. The way to go is the windows compatibility layer for linux, called wine, or a program called dosbox. Please refer to this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10266260) recent thread.

If it's a DOS game, DosBox (in the repos) is what you want
