Hi, Becky!
Thanks for the info. If the game isn't available here in Canada, I'll order from InteractCD.
For those who may be interested, I used to watch the soap "All My Children", and Jesse McCartney played Adam Chandler, Jr. for about 3 years in the late '90s.

Looking at the new screenshots it seems to be 3rd person point & click game. I wonder if you have to pick one and the other one follows or maybe you can switch it around in-game. Guess we'll have to wait for a gameplay trailer or demo to find out. ps. Can anybody open www.hardyboysgame.com ? I can't seem to access it.

Thanks Becky, the screenshots look great but as mentioned it would also be great if we had screenshots or demo from the gameplay. We'll have to wait for TAC to come back online for that. Thanks again:

Great news. I've been wanting to get my hands on this. I'm curious to see if it's going to be like the Nancy Drew series. Screenshots look good.
