Just read Jenny's review, and guess what? I'm inspired to revisit Nancy's world.
As many of you know, I wrote walkthroughs for several of the Nancy Drew games back when they were first released, but reached a point where I felt burned out with so much sameness with her games. There was quite a stretch where I just didn't bother to look at the ND series, but this great review has turned my head. I will give the game a try.
Jenny - I was going to say that my favorite line in your review was ". . . in my opinion no good can ever come of a maze (though I've heard some people like them)." Anybody who has heard me rant about mazes is not surprised that I agree.
But - When you said ". . . and eschewed the food?" I laughed right out loud. That's just plain brilliant.
I guess I am also touched by the Icelandic scene; a good friend was scheduled to go there with his college-age grandson during winter break, and their trip was canceled because all the flights out of New York were stopped by the ferocious weather in February. Now all of a sudden he's battling esophageal cancer. Ugh.
Anyway wish me luck dealing with Nancy and her brain teasers. I'm looking forward to something different.
