Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion Game Review

I'm a person who's fasinated with the supernatural things. Not like bigfoot, and even if it was that, no I don't think that bigfoot exists. Anyway, I'm talking about ghosts. There are a few Nancy Drew video games that involve ghosts in a way, but this one was different. In newer Nancy Drew ghost games, the ghost or supernatural creature would usually jump out at you during an unexpected time, or maybe it was expected for some people, but like Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge, that one was creepy in some parts, and things would jump out at you. In Message in a Haunted Mansion nothing would jump out at you, but it was kind of creepy with the whispers that you would always hear, and the unexpected shadows walking down the halls. I know when I saw that one shadow that walked in front of the door downstairs made me jump a little. That stuff is creepy. I think this is a great game for ANYBODY, even the people who don't like Nancy Drew, I won't say the same for people who like point-and-click games though. This is a very old game and is probably the next on the discontinued list if not already, but I doubt it's discontinued already because I saw it at Target. Anyways Secrets Can Kill and Stay Tuned for Danger are already discontinued, and I actually got those games very recently, (You can see in one of my other posts. It has all the pictures.)but that was only because I won the only auction for the only brand-new unopened Nancy Drew 1st and 2nd original games that they were. I got Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion last year from Amazon, and just so you know you can't get the 1st and 2nd Nancy Drew games from Amazon, because before I won that auction on eBay for those games, we went to Amazon, sent in an order for the first Nancy Drew game, and the order was cancled because they apparentley didn't have it in stock. Why would they have it up on their website if they don't even carry it anymore. Well, enough of me rambling on and on about this stuff, basically, just buy the game!

Nancy Drew: The Final Scene Game Review

I thought Nancy Drew: The Final Scene was a good, well-thought game. Some aspects of the game I disliked, but this is probably just me. Now I know that this is an older Nancy Drew game, so the technology isn't as advanced as the Nancy Drew games today but, I don't think technology had anything to do with it. First, I'm a person that likes somewhat bright colors, like Alibi in Ashes. the color used in that game was pretty good, but the color that they used in The Final Scene was too dull. It was dark, like the grocery store Checkers. Sorry if you like Checkers, but I don't enjoy Checkers because the floors are grey, dark, and the walls are painted, but a dark color. The lighting makes the difference too. The lighting is dark, but that may just be the Checkers store nearby me. While we're on this store topic, let's talk about Target vs. Walmart. My favorite store ever since I was a little kid was Target, but just because I liked Target didn't mean that I didn't like Walmart. No, I don't like Walmart for other reasons, and I don't know those reasons, but I can assure you it's not because I love Target. Any way I'm obviously off topic so let's get back on topic. The topic of the title of this post. So anyway you heard what I said about the use of colors, but other than that I think it was a pretty okay game. The plot of the game made sense along with the setting. The characters were nice, nice meaning I liked the characters, not nice like that characteristics of the characters, because Simone was obviously not nice, and Brady was a little self-centured when we first met him. I would probably recommend this Nancy Drew game to someone, but keep in mind I'm probably going to say that in every Nancy Drew game review I do just because I'm such a Nancy Drew fanatic!

Nancy Drew Game Pictures

Here are the pictures that go along with the entry before this one... if you care:

Here's the rest of my collection:

Guess What I got in the Mail?!?!?!?

Today in the mail I got Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill (The Original) and Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned For Danger, both brand new, never opened, and still in that brand new seal! I'm very excited and I'm including pictures of what it looked like after I pulled it out of the package in a later blog... maybe tomorrow.

Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill Remastered Game Review

I really liked this game, almost like the original Nancy Drew game called Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill (1998). I understand why they would redo this game for obvious reasons. The animation on the original game were cartoons, and they redid it to have more of a life-like feature with the 3-D. Now I understand that it's a remastered version so they have to keep just about everything the same, except for the ending and the 3-D images. Here's the thing, they should of got rid of at least one hallway, with these hallways you always find yourself getting lost. I can honestly say that I've never gotten lost in the hallways of the game, but I just need to look at the setting of the game and I basically remember it from then on. I will admit though, that there were some parts of the game where as I go along in the halls, as I'm walking I always had to think hard and ahead of where I'm supposed to turn so I don't mess up. After you've played it a little longer it gets surprisingly easy to navigate through the hallways. So since this was kind of the game that started it all... kind of. I have to say I really enjoyed this game a lot, and would recommend it to other people.

Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes Game Review

Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes was probably one of the most Nancy Drew games that sounded exciting, and everybody could not wait for the release of this game. This game was very fun, but at the same time it was also a let down. The trailers for this game, and the box art made it look like you could actually meet, and see one of the characters, Ned, but really they just showed you a picture of him. You can see what his face looked liked on Nancy's phone, and on the cover of the box. So that was a big let down, but overall it was a pretty entertaining game. You got to see Bess and George's face for the second time, but they redid their face which I didn't really like. I however did like Bess's new face, but I really disliked George's face. It wasn't really as good of a face like they had in Nancy Drew: Ransom of Seven Ships, but that's just my opinion. Overall I really liked this particular game just because of the setting, plot, and the use of characters, although like I said before, they should of physically included Ned Nickerson.

Just Started

I've just started playing Nancy Drew: The Final Scene today for all of you guys waiting on me. Also, I'm 6 minutes and 28 seconds into it! Yay!

I'm not sure what to blog about, so how about this. I bet most of you Nancy Drew fans have already seen the OFFICIAL COVER ART For the Nancy Drew Dossier, Nancy Drew: Ship of Shadows. If you haven't, here it is.

Sadly, this game is not in current production, instead it has been 'shelved' according to Her Interactive.

Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes has arrived! I've already got my copy, and I'll start on it as soon as possible. TRUST ME! I' going to hurry up on part 5 of Treasure in the Royal tower, because I've already finished Part 4, but didn't upload it. I need to get it all uploaded NOW!!!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT... to me!!!

I would just like to put out there, that if there's anyone, and I mean ANYONEat all that thinks that ANY of my walkthroughs are poor quality, or not the best quality, just acceptable, then please send me some type of message telling me what Nancy Drew game to redo. Also, I've gotten some messages about this blog, and commenting. You DO NOT Need an account on this blog to post a comment, when posting a comment just put it as annomynous, that's one of the choices I have on commenting. In other words, ANYONE can comment!

Alibi in Ashes Next?

Since Alibi in Ashes is coming, I have a question to ask all of you out there, once I get Alibi in Ashes, should I immediatly just start doing a walkthrough for it the first chance I get? If so, after Alibi in Ashes, I'll just continue on with the rest of the Nancy Drew games. Please leave a comment on what you think, and I'll also have a poll up on the right of this post.

Next Game After Alibi in Ashes

SPOILER ALERT!!! THIS POST CONTAINS THE NEXT GAME TITLE AFTER NANCY DREW: ALIBI IN ASHES, IF YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE ENDING OF ALIBI IN ASHES TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NEXT NANCY DREW GAME IS, I SUGGEST YOU DON'T READ THIS POST!

I have just found out what the next game after Alibi in Ashes is, it's Called Nancy Drew: Tomb of the Lost Queen I don't have that much details on it, except for the fact that it takes place in Egypt, past Cairo.

Finished!... Again!

I've already finished Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower two days ago, the next day after I finished uploading all the Message in a Haunted Mansion walkthroughs. I'm actually pretty proud of myself, because the day I started, I also finished on that day, which almost never happens. I was going to put it on YouTube the day I finished it, but couldn't. Then, yesterday, I was planning to edit all of the parts of the game and post it on YouTube all at once. Sadley I couldn't. So today my goal it to finish editing all the parts, and then posting it on YouTube together. So, hopefully I'll have it up by today, around 3:40, or 4 something PM.

Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion

Finished!

I just got done with Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion, so hopefully that'll be up on my YouTube channel soon.
