So many NDs to choose from. Is this one of the favorites? and why or why not?
Thanks

I have only played two of the Nancy Drew games so far, but I loved the two I have played. One was The Haunted Carousel. I really enjoyed this game. You can't go wrong with a ND game.

Waiting for a few more replies, but I see a ND purchase in my near future. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

You have to try a ND game. You will be hooked. I always buy two copies when it comes out...one for me and one for my niece who is 17.

I broke down and bought one, but found I could not get very far without a walkthrough. Is there any of hers that are less difficult?

Since I have only played two so far, my answer probably doesn't count for much. But of the two I played they were about the same in difficulty.

I've played quite a lot of them, and should suggest Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, to start off. It romps along, with one puzzle after another. You need to make lots of notes, and "Screenprints" really save having to take drawing lessons, or dive back and forth between locations. Apart from that, this one doesn't have an overwhelming amount of dialogue, which I quite like.

I also recommend Blackmoor Manor, and Castle Malloy. The only one a really didn't like was the Venice one - I forget what it was called. It had a lot of trouping about, and not enough puzzles.

That said, they're all amongst the best I've played.

About how long is the game ND Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon? I prefer the games to take longer and need less help from walkthroughs.

I've just started playing them all in order. The Secret of the Old Clock is first, then Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, then Danger By Design, which is as far as I've got. All have two levels of difficulty and Blue Moon Canyon has a tutorial.

There are also excellent MaGtRo walkthroughs for all of these, should you need them.

I liked the Haunted Carousel and it is recommended as a start off point for ND games. I've only played a few of these but liked the Deception Island one best so far.....I like Orca's.

I've found that I've had to rely on a walkthru a little bit through the games. Sometimes I don't know what to do and sometimes my kids are too impatient for me to figure it out. They like to watch me play them.
