The Introverted Detective

 This last blog is where I conclude this Nancy Drew Replay Series. Without further adieu, I continue into the two dossiers and Midnight in Salem.  Courtesy of adria.ign.com These three games are in this blog because they are a different play style than any other Nancy Drew Herinteractive games out there. Dossiers are the quick-play version of Nancy Drew and MID (Midnight in Salem) is a category all by itself due to being a different system and play style. There is a lot to say, but we'll put the dossiers first because they were released before MID.  Dossiers - Resorting to Danger and Lights Camera Curses The first dossier released is Lights Camera Curses and the second was Resorting to Danger. I had to play the first on the spare Lenovo because my HP wouldn't let it launch, but would let it install (much like games 16-20 because it was most likely released around that time). Resorting to Danger was fine for my HP, though, so it must have been released after the 20th game....

 This is part three of me replaying the whole Nancy Drew Herinteractive series of games.  Courtesy of Pinterest Spoiler alert! I have to talk about the games to prove what era they are. You have been warned.  Hello again! I promise this series won't be ten million segments. This last era (minus the dossiers and Midnight in Salem- MID) is the only one left. There will be one more post about the dossiers and MID because they are categories by themselves. Otherwise, I'm almost done.  Drama Era - Captive Curse to Sea of Darkness Let the relationship issues begin! Ned can be super helpful (Alibi) or cause all sorts of drama (Captive). This also begins the Francy (Frank and Nancy) hints, which actually come straight from the super mysteries books. Nothing new here, just a less helpful Ned at times and a bit less separation from Nancy's relationship reality. The drama is now built into the plot, thus it is unavoidable. That has been happening slowly since the last era. That...

 Welcome back to my Nancy Drew Replay! If you didn't see the first part, go to my previous blog post  to read the first part. I am analyzing the eras of Nancy Drew Herinteractive games based on my playthrough by the oldest to the newest release date. I'll let the first part speak for me. Let's dive in!  Courtesy of Pinterest *Spoiler warning! I have spoilers in these blogs for the purpose of proving trends.* The Puzzle Heavy Era - White Wolf to Shadow at Waters Edge Here is where my HP laptop, unlike my Dell laptop and the spare Lenovo laptop, didn't want to cooperate. This is the exact point where White Wolf installed with no problem but only launched for two seconds. The first dossier did the same thing. Apparently, this is an issue with HP computers. I tried the "changing 0 to 2 window setting in configuration files" fix with no luck. I then tried the compatibility 640-480 resolution mode with the same rotten luck. I just switched to playing on the Lenovo. ...

Hello fellow nerds and loyal blog readers! I personally replayed all my Nancy Drew Herinteractive collection and re-experienced them all - every single one. Without further adieu, I give you my observations after doing so.  Courtesy of Herinteractive Starting with Secrets Can Kill (and the remastered one) and going straight through to Midnight In Salem, I played them all. I love them all to different degrees and for different reasons because I am a Nancy Drew nerd and own them all. I actually pre-ordered some of them to acquire it (like Ransom of the Seven Ships) and got most of them for Christmas until we had to wait for Midnight In Salem and they stopped making them so frequently. I had to get downloads of some games because I couldn't play them on my college laptop. I don't think you need any more proof of my nerdyness.  *Be aware that you will find spoilers in this series of blogs. In order to make my point about trends in games I have to say these. You have been warned. *...
