No you aren't off topic Becky, not at all. Funny I played the game and don't remember any booze in it. Did ya'll play a different game maybe?

So far, I've only seen a preview version. And the wine reference was to a speculative real-life "Philosophy of Nancy Drew" meeting sometime, perhaps in the future, around a roaring fire in a lodge in the woods...

Has anyone figured out exactly how old Nancy Drew is in the games? Is she still a high school student?

I loved the cooking, but quickly learned that the French toast cooked the fastest! Actually started a fire one time trying to cook other things.

Has any one seen the face of the Nancy Drew voice

Mobygames has a couple of pictures

Darn! I never got to start a fire, Mystery Lover. Makes me want to go back and see if I can burn down the kitchen.

I've always assumed that Nancy was perpetually 18. I remember reading the books as a kid and wondering just how long it was taking her to solve all those mysteries in her 18th year. There were 56 original books so she was solving one in a little under a week! Busy young lady!

I read that Lani Minella has done around 450 voices for games. If that's not an exaggeration, that's pretty amazing.

Thanks for that .Did nt think she would be blonde.Not that as any thing to do with the price of milk lol

Having just got the game (it's now in a queue as I haven't had much time to play over the last few months) & reading this thread I don't think there are any spoilers at all! I'd rather know beforehand that I can avoid the chores without any penaly & make the choice of doing them or not!! I suspect I will get some perverse satisfaction out of doing 'boring' chores in the game instead of getting on with real chores while I'm playing it!

I would be happy to join you in the Rockies! - I can pour wine, drink it & put logs on the fire - just make sure there are plenty of fire extinguishers around!

Nancy Drew books were the hottest thing around when I was growing up but I was a depression baby and could not own them. I was able to borrow them and I seem to remember that the library may have had some. Nancy was my heroine because she was so independant and had adventures. I do not remember her doing housework- but I do remember her yellow convertible coupe ( with a rumble seat?).

I loved all the Nancy Drew books as a kid to. Bouv, we had to get them at the library, but luckily, our library was well stocked.

I never read any of the Nancy Drew books as a child, so when I started playing the games, the ND world was wonderful and new to me. I did read Trixie Belden. Don't know why Nancy didn't enter my reading world, however, or how it happened that it was Trixie --and not Nancy-- whose mysteries I read. All of you who did read ND & are now playing the games are doubly enriched!
