If the stores regularly carry TAC games, I don't see why this would be any different. I believe it is already at Walmart in Canada.

I thought so, but this says Adventure Company.


Installed with no problem. Played a few minutes & it froze. Nothing else running.

I looked on the trailers on youtube and it stated it was from the makers of Nancy Drew, yet was from Adventure Company. Also too, I see Nancy Drew is on Hardy boys and you get to see her. Cause all Nancys are first person and you never get to see her. But it looks like Hardy boys are third person, it that true?

ps I always thought Nancy was blonde, but the trailer looks like a brunette and pretty young to be running around all over the world alone lol


So many games, so little time....

Thanks Ana, love those Nancy games, and now Hardy boys too! I just never thought about what Nancy looked like, just pictured her like the old books. It is interesting that Hardy boys are third person, of course there are two of them smile

Truthfully, I don't like seeing her. You can't see her face, just a tiny blonde figure you move around. I thought her to be a brunette in my mind and was dissappointed to see her being blonde.

Nancy acquired that blonde wig in Phantom of Venice. Maybe that's what you're seeing, Ana. grin

I always thought she looked like Pamela Sue Martin from the 70's show.

I agree with Anna and cat I always thought Nancy was a brown haired girl instead of a blonde myself. Maybe she dyed her hair for the wedding and will change it back in time to go to the Islands. Also on a hardy boys note have you every noticed with the games from the adventure company that it seems to take much longer to load from scene to scene than it does in other games or is that just my imagination playing tricks on me?

Hi Bitty Kitty -- The Adventure Company publishes games from different developers, so slow load screens don't have anything to do with the company in general.

Are you thinking of Overclocked? There is a fix for the slow load screens in that particular game.

I was thinking more along the lines of Still Life or Tunguska which I think I spent more time looking at a picture of something while the loading thing flashed continuously at me for what seemed like forever or I think maybe I had the same problem in Black Mirror. However, now that I am thinking about it this also reminds me of when I had trouble with the Law and Order: Criminal Intent which I know had a long wait time last year.
