If you want my opinion...an honest opinion keeping in mind that I have the entire collection of ND games and wouldn't dream of parting with them, here it is: No matter what game you trade for it, the other person has the better deal. Enough said...

It's only $20. If you like Nancy Drew, why not get it now and help out HerInteractive?

Darleen, I thought it was the best game since Ghost Dogs and Deception Island. Loved evey minute of it except the ending.For me the ending was hard but I did it.

Yeah Jenny100. I was thinking the same thing, especially after recollecting these lines from Eric McConnell's JA article "We Have Met the Enemy..." (with thanks to Becky for linking us to it):
Quote:
"So What Can We Do? There are some things we can do now to help out. Whenever purchasing an adventure game, we should try to buy them directly from the publisher online. This saves the 60% cut that the retail stores take." ~Eric McConnell "Ivinia"
I guess I can forego a $2 discount at my usual online game store... & try to make a habit of buying games direct from the publisher.

I like the game a lot, Darleen. It's more difficult and also longer than Kapu Cave. It would seem that Her Interactive made an effort to respond to the people who were complaining that Kapu Cave was too easy and too short.

It recalls to mind the expression, "Be careful what you wish for, as you just might get it!" evil smile wave

It's not quite as good as other more recent ND games (in my opinion), but it's still enjoyable. Except that I am now nearing the end and attempting to beat the Fox & Geese game, and am HATING it. frown It's boring. (Translation: I'm rubbish at it.) pacify

Haahaahaaaa! Rushes you are absolutely adorable -- This game is indeed far more difficult than any of the Nancy's I've played; if you take into the account of certain puzzles.
Fox and Geese was a particular nemisis of mine --- it took me 4 hours on that part alone. But then..........
I did wish for a longer and more challenging ND. ----

How would you compare the fox & geese game to the sewing task blush in "Old Clock", difficulty-wise?

The sewing puzzle needs agility, hand eye-coordination.
The fox-geese game is logic-strategy.

So the difficulty lies in physical agility or mental concentration and/or what the gamer is used to.

The sewing puzzle in Old Clock only required that I get through it as fast as possible. Speed, not accuracy. I couldn't believe the game accepted the mess I made of that dress.

I'm glad to hear the fox/geese puzzle is logic-oriented though.

Fox and Geese is a very old puzzle (over 300 hundred years old)
it's also referred to as French Solitare...

I loved the fox and geese game (so call me crazy).

I am still working on the fox and geese puzzle. I had my son take a stab at it and he won it three times in a row in the first thirty or forty minutes or so. rolleyes

I enjoyed this puzzle too.
There's a similar puzzle to this that is an educational game. For the life of me - can't remember.

Ah - the last riddle in Vikings.

The sewing in SOTOC was a piece of cake compared to the Fox & Geese in this one; it just about ruined the entire game for me! So frustrating. But - BUT! - after a few hours of table-thumping and lots of mournful wailing (from me, not Isis...), I finally beat it. happydance And now I have a headache. sick
