Nancy Drew Should Solve the Mystery of Software Glitches

Might have been a better experience if the game had allowed me to save, didn't freeze up or the video display worked consistently. The puzzles were not outrageously difficuly. It's hard to be objective about the story line and puzzle content when I experienced so many software glitches playing the game.

Fun to run but a pain to install

12-year-old loves these games but they were hard to install on XP. First, you have to run it from the disk by double-clicking on the setup.exe. Secondly, we finally found this hint buried in manufacturer's FAQs: when it asks you if it should install DirectX (I think that was the file)--just say NO. XP has a newer version of DirectX and you should keep that version.

Not the best stories in the Nancy Drew series. Hopefully future releases will be better.

Almost five Stars...

April 2006 review:
Secrets Can Kill & Stay Tuned for Danger are the two oldest ND games and, while both are still enjoyable enough to play, are not up to the caliber of the subsequent Nancy Drew PC games. I'd rate these two games at 4 stars.

Treasure in the Royal Tower: Interesting! Great graphics & sound effects, good interaction w/characters, etc. Setting is a refurbished old castle w/plenty of hidden rooms & passageways. You get to go outside and walk in snow, repair things, hunt for items and clues, etc. I'd rate this at 5 stars.

The Final Scene: good graphics & sound effects. It takes place in an old theater about to be demolished. You play Nancy and have to find clues, fix things, and search throughout the theater, including secret passageways. I'd rate this one at 4.5 stars.

A good bargain for plenty hours of fun and creative learning, as many of the clues and tasks are factual and realistic! Also, you will discover true facts about real people incorporated very creatively into the stories.

My favorite Nancy Drew PC games are: Danger on Deception Island, The Secret of Shadow Ranch, Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon and Ghost Dogs on Moon Lake. However, I like all 13 of the games. Number 14 is due to come out soon!

These games are great! my daughter, who is 14, and I love to play them together. I also have Windows XP operating system. I had to update my Flash player to play it, but that is free online. If you use the analyze my computer at the installation of the game it will tell you what you need to do to make the games play correctly.

SOOOOOOOO AWESOME

I will be the first to admit that when I bought my first Nancy Drew game I did it out of boredom. It was the "Double Dare" pack. But let me tell you, ever since then, and after my aquisition of this pack, I'm a die hard Nancy Drew fanatic, and I don't care how corny other people think the games are, or how immature my younger sister thinks I am for playing them, Nancy Drew rocks!!!!!!!!

Its good, and just to clear this up....

if you install the program and right click the program from the start menu, you can make it compatable to whatever sort of computer it needs to work with, or if it need 256 colors. Its good!

It's okay..........

Well, I have to say, I really like the final scene and Treasure in the royal tower ALOT! (they are my favorites) and I enjoyed Secrets can Kill, and Stay tuned for danger, but, the graphics weren't nearly as good in Secrets can Kill and Stay tuned for danger. But it's a great deal for all 4 games. I wish that Message in a Haunted Mansion was included in the set, though.
