That's cool! I grew up reading The Hardy Boys. Always wished for a video game.

WOW! That is great!!! I always wondered when they started putting the Hardy Boys in the ND games as someone you can talk to on the phone, if they would have their own games. Well, now I know!!! Thanks!!!  Robin
So many games, so little time....

Never read Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys books, but certainly enjoy the ND games and will look forward to the Hardy Boys games. Wonder if they will look the same as they do in Kapu Cave?

I remember the Hardy Boys well as I have read all their adventures when I was much much younger. Sadly, my parents had to move away from their house at much later date, and I didn't know what happened to all the books. This should be really interesting I think  And possibly great for the detective adventures out there. (and maybe for the adventure genre in general?)
Adventure gaming is fun

Thanks Becky....I knew that one day someone would think of developing games with the Hardy Boys featured. They were in two of the Nancy Drew games -one of which you could switch back and forth from them to ND. Really excited about this news as I'm a big ND game fan. I've played them all and wait impatiently for the next. If the Hardy Boys adventures are as great as I think they'll be then you can bet the series is going to be quite popular in the future. Keep them coming!

Somebody should do a series of games based on Robert Arthur's "The Three Investigators" books. Three friends intstead of two brothers.
