Loretta no Shouzou: Sherlock Holmes (ロレッタの肖像 Sherlock Holmes) is an adventure game developed and published by Sega exclusively in Japan in 1987.
At its core, Loretta no Shouzou is an SG-1000 game (making it the last official Japanese release of its kind), however its late release in 1987 meant it was packaged and advertised as a Gold Cartridge (the branding used for first-party Mark III/Master System cartridges released in Japan). At 128kB in size, it would be the biggest SG-1000 game, and its packaging design, paired with the fact Sega's hardware archive lists the game for both consoles, has led to much confusion as to whether it should be classed as either an SG-1000 release, a Mark III/Master System one, or both.
Subtle differences in the packaging (the use of a blue "1Mb" logo and manual (a colour often associated with the the SG-1000, SG-1000 II and SC-3000) as opposed to red (Mark III)) and the specific mentioning of older Sega consoles has led Sega Retro to class this as an SG-1000 release. Its product code, however, lies in the G-13XX series, usually associated with Mark III games.
