Amateur detectives everywhere, young and old alike will love the Nancy Drew Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake interactive mystery game. Produced by HER Interactive, it invites junior or senior detectives (players choose the level of difficulty) to embark on a mission to become Nancy Drew's eyes and ears, and help solve a mystery.
Players are taken to a dreamy summer cabin at Moon Lake and here the nightmare begins. Nancy is informed by the nearby lake's residents that a well-known gangster had lived here long ago with his pet dogs. Howls can be heard. The locals believe the dogs have come back from the grave to protect their master's villainous past. Are the legends true? Or is there a simpler explanation? What about the neighbours--are they telling the truth? What secrets might be lurking in the dark caverns beneath the lake? Don't waste time--you must find the answers before the hounds discover your presence.
Installation is quite straightforward, but as the game is aimed at children aged 10 years and above, it may need overseeing by a more competent adult. On completion, players are immediately invited to choose the level of difficulty and it is a particularly good idea to take advantage of the excellent tutorial session. Here you learn how to navigate, and explanations are also given about different mouse, cursor and arrow commands, with tips being offered about "Hot Spots" and how to view objects. Accompanying the CD-ROM is an excellent pamphlet dealing with all aspects of the game. The language is simple and straightforward and help can be accessed from the menu screen, where useful directions can be found.
Before commencing, it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the Menu screen, particularly the Game Setup option which, on clicking, allows you to personalise the game in the way you prefer to play, changing options for voice, music, special effects, and closed captioning, which when switched on, makes written descriptions appear in the text window for sounds and noises. This is especially helpful as for some the written word, accompanied by the spoken word, is more helpful when absorbing instructions. --Susan Naylor
