I'll appreciate any help or guidance to unpack the "*.dat"-archives from "The Lost Cases of 221B Baker St".
The head.bin and tail.bin may be downloaded here: http://www.motionpress.com/uploads/The_ ... ker_St.rar

Thanks in advance!

The first couple of zlib compressed files seem to contain some file names.
but you can extract the zlib compressed files with offzip.
use
offzip.exe -a c:\input.bin c:\output 0x0

they all seem to be picture formats so it is much easier to just extract all the files then mass rename them to .png and put all the files that show a thumbnail image in a folder then rename the rest .jpg and just repeat till no files are left.

I created a simple .dat extractor.

Usage: baker_extract.exe <DAT_File> <TargetDir>

example: baker_extract.exe lang_en.dat e:\temp\target

Updated! Now handles the 1st game's dat files too! (Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes)
