#18 is a good game, oldbroad. I actually got through the dancing the last time I played - the part of the game that I have the most trouble with is the end sequence. In some ways it's a very different experience than the other games - but that is what I have always liked about the ND games: the fact that there is so much variety to them. wave

I tried the "fix" offered for Stay Tuned For Danger. https://www.herinteractive.com/2016/08/nancy-drew-2-stay-tuned-for-danger-installation/ It installed but won't play.Actually this fix was for Windows 7 . A window comes up with an error message that my sound card might be out of date or something like that. I'm not a "techie" so it's all Greek to me! But as I stated before, this is one of my least favorite games so I don't really care. Thanks anyway Marion. Maybe I'll find something in the Glitches thread that I will be able to figure out! Anyway, all of the older games that I downloaded from Big Fish work great so BF must have updated versions?(except for STFD.) think wave

I don't doubt it's a good game Marian. I won't be playing it for awhile though. I can't play any series straight through. Need to play other games in between.

I would feel the same, oldbroad. yes

Anyway, I would love to be able to provide an update on MID, but it's still the same runaround. HeR Interactive posted an announcement on Facebook about a month ago that they hoped to provide a substantial update very soon. Since then they have said...nothing at all. It seems like their responses, when they do give any, aren't done so much as to provide information (which is scant to nothing at all), but to try to placate the fan base.

I didn't realise Big Fish had so many Nancy Drew games !!

Are they the original, full length games ??

Have they been "doctored" ??
[Shortened - or maybe adapted so as to include achievements and the like ??]

Cheers.

They are all the complete games, Mad, with no doctoring or alterations. Big Fish has every single game save for the original Secrets Can Kill (Big Fish has the remastered version) and Stay Tuned for Danger. wave

Penny Lane, the original Secrets Can Kill and Stay Tuned for Danger are the two ND games that Big Fish does not have. wave

Someone has posted an article online entitled, "Midnight in Salem, or HeR Interactive's Marketing Nightmare."

Part one, which deals with the way the company used to be, can be found here.

Part two, which talks about HeR Interactive since the new CEO took over, can be found here.

For anyone interested in what exactly has been going on the last two years, and particularly in regard to the company's now dismal/virtually nonexistent "communication" with the fan base, I recommend it as a worthwhile read.

The writer of the articles doesn't say much we don't already know, and is certainly more hopeful for the future of the Nancy Drew games than I am.

I still think the blew their development money away on the lowest bidder, which turned out to be an inexperienced company that couldn't do what they promised, and the CEO is only keeping the company open until she drains any remaining money with her undeserved salary.

Their so-called poll was so biased.

They asked questions like
"Do you want longer games?"
"Do you want games with more exploration?"

What they should have asked is
"Do you want two games a year or do you want longer games with a longer wait between?"
"Do you want games that work on your current computer or do you want games with more exploration that might require a new "gaming" computer to play."

As far as I know the fans were never asked if they wanted HerInteractive to fire Lani.

As far as I know the fans were never asked if they wanted HerInteractive to fire their development staff and outsource development overseas.

I expect if they'd been asked "real" questions instead of misleading ones, fans would have chosen to keep things as they were, with two games a year using the old game engine, Lani as Nancy Drew, and an American development staff.

Of course the CEO had already decided what she was going to do before the so-called poll was created -- hence the misleading questions.

Very well stated, Jenny.

As far as there being nothing new in the article, that's true if you have been keeping up with this train wreck. I did, though, think that the link provided in the article to the compilation of statements by HeR in response to fans did a good job of showing how downright inane and nonsensical things have become, even insulting to the fans' intelligence - worth a read if you hadn't seen them already.

I doubt we will ever see Midnight In Salem unless another company takes it over. And I agree. The fans should be consulted on their decisions. When HER produced 2 games a year the graphics and story lines were good. No improvements needed as far as I was concerned. There is no excuse for these delays in production. duh
