WARNING BETA QUALITY:
This is probably playable, but I haven't really tried yet.
Let me know if you try in the comments.

================

Released in 1985, the Clue VCR Mystery Game was the first moving picture rendition of Clue or Cluedo, coming out only months before Clue (the movie). Parker Brothers ended up making many VCR games, but this one was always their best seller. The game was released abroad in at least the UK and Germany.
The game was designed to be played multiple times with the same players watching the exact same footage. The video had three chapters (The Will, The Search and The Secrets) each featuring five scenes. An introductory scene was also featured for a practice game. Chapter one had five games to be played with it, and the other two chapters had six games each.
Winning the game involved the same concept as the Clue boargame, except for that players also had to name the victims in addition to murderer, room (hall, dining room, conservatory, kitchen or library) and weapon (knife, candlestick, gun, poison or rope). Players also had to identify which characters the other players were. Unlike the boargames where it is usually a single character like Mr. Boddy being murdered, the characters are actually murdering eachother. To add to the confusion, this isn't happening onscreen. Players are actually solving murders that only exist in the different games that utilize the action onscreen through Clue Cards. While seemingly complicated, after a little practice, it can be easy to play. For many people though, the most enjoyment comes out of simply watching the game instead of playing it.
