*Spoilers ahead. You have been warned*
So, I was cleaning out my old CD game section and pulled out a series of Nancy Drew games. Looking at them, I remember back when I had a windows running computer I use to play these games all the time. Unfortunately, they only work on windows computers and I have a mac now and I don't feel like going out and buying the mac version.
The games are made by Her Interactive and the gaming is a puzzle solving mystery. There are many different mysteries and one that I remember playing was Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships. The games usually start out with a brief introduction to the case. The games follow a story line where you can explore different places, talk to people and play games while trying to solve the mystery.
The game has two levels. Junior detective level is easy while senior level is hard. The levels have the same scenes, but the puzzles are a lot harder in senior level. I remember always playing junior mode, but I did move up to senior mode a couple of times.
The graphics have gotten much better over time. The first game had 2D graphics that looked very cheap. Now the games have amazing graphics and much more interesting game lines. The games take place in different parts of the world. I enjoyed the ones that took place in foreign countries because I learned interesting facts.
The only thing I dislike is that some of the puzzles are so hard to solve. Unfortunately you have to solve those problems or you won't be able to move on with the story. The only other thing I have to complain about is that some of the "bad guys" I like and the ones I think are the "bad guys" end up being innocent.
This game focuses around Nancy going on vacation with her friends, Bess and George. When she arrives at the resort, Bess has been kidnapped and the owners are no where to be seen. The kidnappers want Nancy to find a lost treasure that supposedly sunk under the ocean. In this game you get to see Bess and George for the first time and hang out with some monkeys. The kidnapper turns out to be a previous "bad guy" from another, much older, Nancy Drew Game.
If you like mysteries, puzzles and a first person type game, try out the Nancy Drew series. There are twenty-nine different ones you can choose from. I know I had endless amounts of fun while playing these a while back.

Yeah, I agree. I don't like playing puzzle games because they are difficult to solve. It is so frustrating when I can't move on to the next level because I can't figure something out.
