Ah....my absolute fave is Treasure in the Royal Tower! I loved the setting and the beautiful graphics, the length of the game, the ability to call Bess and George, and getting to solve and honest-to-goodness mystery! Loved it and will treasure it always!

PS I hope they're watching, Darleen! LOL

Best way to get a message through to them is by writing and voicing your concern in a civil, professional manner. There is nothing wrong with finding out which was your favorite, as long as it is done to find the positive and not focus on the negative aspects. If I was a developer nothing would chase me away faster than a bunch of negativity.

Blackmoor Manor is my favorite--long game with a wide variety of puzzles and a great spooky atmosphere. I felt like I could really get lost in it.

Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake and Curse of Blackmoor Manor are my favorites. Not sure which I like better. After those two I like Treasure in the Royal Tower. And I like Secret of the Old Clock, even though it was short, nothing like the original book, and more humor-oriented than the others.

I'll tell you one I don't like is the current one. I don't like that timer ticking down all the time. It puts me off of playing the game and pretty much spoils the whole thing.

Darleen,

The publishers and developers do appreciate feedback from customers: negative and positive.

We do get visited by a lot of publishers and developers. They might not all post but we do give them feedback officially - that means GameBoomers Staff.
Our PR Liaison has been in contact with Her Interactive for years.

My particular favourite is Shadow Ranch, I thought the puzzles and tasks in that game were just great.

I've enjoyed all of the more recent ND games. Sure, they seem to be more chore oriented now, but personally that doesn't bother me at all; to me the games are always fun to play, and a nice relaxing break from the serious stuff. wink

Message in a Haunted Mansion was the very first one I played --- after that I was hooked. I enjoyed them all -- from the begining right up to thier latest issue --- but for different reasons.

My absolute favorite though would have to be -------------->

The Curse of Blackmoore Manor.

I'm with Rushes, my favourite is Shadow Ranch. Enjoyable chores, great story and wonderful setting. My favourite character of all the games was in it too - Shorty Thurman. I thought the voice acting was even better than the usual high standard.

If there's a Nancy Drew game that I don't much like I still buy the next one. Her Interactive have me hooked so I'm going to stick with them.

My favorite was The Scarlet Hand. Loved the atmosphere and lots of puzzle solving. Museum was great.

I have only played eight of them thus far but my favorite is Secret of the Scarlet Hand. It was one of the most interesting mysteries and I thought the puzzles were well placed in the museum.

I have not played the newest ones yet (I am now playing in order), so I don't know if this is a change yet, but if I can make one suggestion!!! PLEASE let the gamer try to deduce who the culprit is in each game. I would love to have a moment to try an pick the them as a "puzzle" near the end of the game.

Other than that just love them including the sliders, timed sequences, etc. smile

All of course are great games, but did enjoy Secret of the Old Clock and a close second was Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon.

The first ND game I ever played was Scarlet Hand, so I would have to say that one, since it introduced me to Nancy Drew games. I was looking for some other adventure game in a bricks and mortar computer games store at the time and desperate for something to play grabbed Scarlet Hand. Since then I have acquired all the ND games. I must say that I did enjoy Ghost Dogs. Blackmoor Manor was the most difficult, I think. razz

I liked Kapu Cave - I loved the fishing & shell collecting. And I loved the snowfights in Wolf Creek. There were no ND games I didn't like.
The only puzzle I could not do was the horrible sewing one, can't remember which game that was.

I would have to say it was a tie between Blackmoor Manor and Capu Cave. I love old houses and had so much fun diving for shells. The only one I haven't played is Danger by Design. I'm just a big kid. I never outgrew Nancy Drew.

I have to cast more votes for Ghost Dogs and Royal Tower! My least faves are the more recent ones - Old Clock (HATED that silly car), Danger by Design , Kapu Cave. Seems like they are adding more silly "collecting" type puzzles that don't really have much to do with the story!
