From Wikipedia:
"Space: 1889 is a role-playing game of Victorian-era space-faring,created by Frank Chadwick and originally published by Game Designers' Workshop from 1988 to 1991 and later reprinted by Heliograph, Inc. in 2000 and 2001. The name is both a parody of the television show Space: 1999 and a continuation of the GDW naming convention applied to two of its previous role-playing games, Twilight: 2000 and Traveller: 2300 (the latter of which was later renamed 2300 AD), though neither previous game had any connection to the Space: 1889 universe. The name Space: 1889 is a registered trademark belonging to Chadwick."

It's in the same era as Sherlock Holmes, but the science of the era is real (space ether, and travel through it to other planets, for example.).

An interesting thought would be Sherlock Holmes and Watson in such a world. Would they be solving crimes on Mars, or the Moon?

The possibilities are endless!
