What Nancy Drew books would you like to see turned into games?

[Ashiru]

Terror on tour would be boring. All you would do is walk and walk. There would be no puzzles, and since they would need to animate a huge crowd, the game would be real slow. The only fun thing I could think of is the part where Nancy first meets the Hardy's.

they would get to climb scafolding trying to hide from the guard
.

[Bigfootman]

Yes, but the that's the only exciting thing that would happen. we don't need a game that the only fun part is climbing for a few minutes.

[JoeHardyRocks]

You are just so unimaginative and determined to hate the UB's, that you're missing all the game potential!

[Bigfootman]

You are just so unimaginative and determined to hate the UB's, that you're missing all the game potential!

What game potential? There is none! Your so determed to love the UBs that you fact missing these facts:
a) the book would make a horrible game, as there's no puzzles to solve. And last time I checked, Nancy Drew games are puzzle games.
b) Deadly Intent and Vanishing Act are to better Nancy Drew books to be made into games. Hits And Misses would be a better crossover.
c) Catching the bad guys would be boring, and would not work as well as in the book.
d) Older Nancy Drew books (Files and Digests) are way better for games, because a game may be the only way we will get to enjoy the story.
e) Finding people would be diffrcult in a big crowd, specking of that, it would take a while to animate. By the time they do that, 2 better Nancy Drew games could have been made.
f) You are avoiding my arguments, and making very dumb ones instead, that show you have no idea what you are talking about.
g)The only reason you want the game made is because you love the UBs, and you seem to not care about fun or plot, or puzzles.
h) It would be too easy to get lost, even more lost then in the graveyard  in Legend Of The Cristal Skull.
i) Climbing the scafolding  would be fun at first, until you relise there is no puzzle involed.
j) The only way the game would even work is if it was mixed with another book, and knowing what happened when they messed with "The Bluebeard Room", I doubt that's a good idea.
k) They would have to record a long sound track, because it's a consert. There were several diffrent bands playing a lot of songs. Add in song writing, finding singers, recording, puting the soundtrack togather, you got yourself a game that takes even longer to make.
l) How much would this game cost? Knowing how long this game would take to make, and the soundtrack, would you be willing to pay extra? I know I would not.
m) There's a risk that because of the huge crowd animation we may need disk changes. Remember Secrets Can Kill? 
n) The game could freeze up on not so fast computers. Again, would this game be worth it?
o) Reading through the Hidden Theft reviews on Amazon, (got a bad rating) I notaced that not a lot of buyers were happy with the fact it had ATAC in it. I've heard that people outside this form are getting sick of the Nancy Drew games (PC gamer), I have a feeling that for a lot of them, this game would be the last straw.
p) Terror On Tour is not on my worst UB list, but as I said before, take another read and you will see that it is just not fit to make a Nancy Drew game.
Maybe I'll add to the list later.

Danger Overseas sounds like a good book to make into a game (haven't read it yet), but not Terror On Tour.

[JoeHardyRocks]

OMG, I am just laughing at all your "reasons". They are just stupid...

What game potential? There is none! Your so determed to love the UBs that you fact missing these facts:
a) the book would make a horrible game, as there's no puzzles to solve. And last time I checked, Nancy Drew games are puzzle games. Have you played Secret of the old clock? In the book, were there only puzzles, every page? Were there any puzzles in the book? No! But HerInteractive was creative, unlike you, and made it into something great! And they are not "puzzle games" They are mystery games.
b) Deadly Intent and Vanishing Act are to better Nancy Drew books to be made into games. Hits And Misses would be a better crossover. I don't care what you think.
c) Catching the bad guys would be boring, and would not work as well as in the book.
who says it has to be boring? Were any of the other ND games boring at the end? No!  they will make it like the book, so it will be entertaining
d) Older Nancy Drew books (Files and Digests) are way better for games, because a game may be the only way we will get to enjoy the story. Opinion... How many times must I say it?

e) Finding people would be diffrcult in a big crowd, specking of that, it would take a while to animate. By the time they do that, 2 better Nancy Drew games could have been made. Um, Duh! It wouldn't be that hard! It's not like you'll have to push past a huge crowd of people and even if you did, that would be sooo hard, wouldn't it?  And they wouldn't animate everyone, they would just draw them in or something. It's not like you can talk to everyone in the crowd
f) You are avoiding my arguments, and making very dumb ones instead, that show you have no idea what you are talking about.I don't know what i'm talking about?
g)The only reason you want the game made is because you love the UBs, and you seem to not care about fun or plot, or puzzles.Oh my gosh, this is not about  the UB's, it's about making a good game. And it would be fun, there is a plot (Unless you don't know what that is.) And there would be puzzles, how many time must I say that before my point gets across?
h) It would be too easy to get lost, even more lost then in the graveyard  in Legend Of The Cristal Skull.You're worried about getting lost?!? That is just dumb.  Maybe you just don't think this is a good idea because it would be too hard for you..
i) Climbing the scafolding  would be fun at first, until you relise there is no puzzle involed. Does everything have to be a puzzle? ND games are not just about puzzles.
j) The only way the game would even work is if it was mixed with another book, and knowing what happened when they messed with "The Bluebeard Room", I doubt that's a good idea. It would work the way it is.
k) They would have to record a long sound track, because it's a consert. There were several diffrent bands playing a lot of songs. Add in song writing, finding singers, recording, puting the soundtrack togather, you got yourself a game that takes even longer to make.Big deal how long it takes to make! How long do you think all the other games took to make? They didn't just make them in like 2 months, it takes a while!
l) How much would this game cost? Knowing how long this game would take to make, and the soundtrack, would you be willing to pay extra? I know I would not. Who cares you "would not"? The world doesn't revolve around you, ya know. And it's not like it would cost thousands and thousands of dollars just to add some music.
m) There's a risk that because of the huge crowd animation we may need disk changes. Remember Secrets Can Kill?  Secrets can Kill was the first game, so they were just like testing stuff out. I highly doubt what with all the new types of ND game, they would make another game like that.
n) The game could freeze up on not so fast computers. Again, would this game be worth it?So can all of the other Nancy Drew games! It's not like this one would be the biggest one yet or anything! It would just be another great game!
o) Reading through the Hidden Theft reviews on Amazon, (got a bad rating) I notaced that not a lot of buyers were happy with the fact it had ATAC in it. I've heard that people outside this form are getting sick of the Nancy Drew games (PC gamer), I have a feeling that for a lot of them, this game would be the last straw.Well I personally know a few people who love the Nancy Drew CD's and ATAC, and just because a few people don't like it, big deal! Every game has people who don't like it.
p) Terror On Tour is not on my worst UB list, but as I said before, take another read and you will see that it is just not fit to make a Nancy Drew game.I recently read it like an hour ago,  and I still say it would make an awesome game, no matter what excuses you say, such as " I might get lost!"

[Bigfootman]

I'm impressed. I didn't think you would spend that much time writing rebuttals. However, your Secret Of The Old Clock comment was the dumbest rebuttal ever.

If you did research (you seem to be spending your time worshiping the UBs to do that), you would know that Secret Of The Old Clock was not based based of of just that book. It's based off the first four books. That's how they made it work! DUH!

From Wikipedia:
"Secret of the Old Clock is based on a mixture of the first four books in the classic series and commemorates Nancy Drew's 75th anniversary" Seems you missed that "Nancy Drew games expert" 

That's the whole reason I suggested mixing Terror On Tour with another book! They mixed the first four Nancy Drew books togather, and that's why the game worked.

Here are 2 mixes that could work well:
Terror On Tour/ Deadly Intent: The kidnapping would would make things a lot more intesting. Plus, maybe they could make Frank or Joe go undercover as the replacment gutarest (sp). That way they could snoop around some more. And they maybe even put some guitar hero stuff.
Terror On Tour/Top Ten Ways To Die or Rock N' Revenge: This would make a good game, as there be plently of undercover work. If they do Rock N' Revenge, there would even Car Bomb defusing.

Meanwhile, we are spending our time agruing over one book, while we should be talking about other possiblitys for good games.

Anymore ideas for Nancy Drew games?

[JoeHardyRocks]

Don't you brush me off boy, I'm not done!

I'm impressed. I didn't think you would spend that much time writing rebuttals. However, your Secret Of The Old Clock comment was the dumbest rebuttal ever. Actually it's true, if you didn't waste you're time trying to prove me wrong, you'd see that. And it doesn't take that long to find counter arguments for your excuses why it wouldn't work.
If you did research (you seem to be spending your time worshiping the UBs to do that), you would know that Secret Of The Old Clock was not based based of of just that book. It's based off the first four books. That's how they made it work! DUH! Who says I "worship the UBs"? Still- first four books- were there any puzzles in them? No! DUH!

From Wikipedia:
"Secret of the Old Clock is based on a mixture of the first four books in the classic series and commemorates Nancy Drew's 75th anniversary" Seems you missed that "Nancy Drew games expert"  Cute, and I never said that.

That's the whole reason I suggested mixing Terror On Tour with another book! They mixed the first four Nancy Drew books togather, and that's why the game worked. You're spelling is getting really annoying, and It still would work as it is!

Here are 2 mixes that could work well:
Terror On Tour/ Deadly Intent: The kidnapping would would make things a lot more intesting. Plus, maybe they could make Frank or Joe go undercover as the replacment gutarest (sp). That way they could snoop around some more.I still don't care what you think, all your stupid "great ideas" wouldn't work."Don't you even care about it being fun?"

Meanwhile, we are spending our time agruing over one book, while we should be talking about other possiblitys for good games. Which is what i'm doing, duh. It is a possibility for a good game.

Anymore ideas for Nancy Drew games?
BTW nice try, stop trying to change the subject- or are you running out of arguments?

[Bigfootman]

Don't you brush me off boy, I'm not done!

"You're spelling is getting really annoying, and It still would work as it is!"
Meanwhile, you make a major grammer mistake. Ok, maybe it will work, explain to me how. How on the earth would it work? Explain to me and maybe I will change my mind. You seem to be brushing that off, girl!

"I still don't care what you think, all your stupid "great ideas" wouldn't work."Don't you even care about it being fun?"

Meanwhile, you don't explain why it does not work. That's because you don't have an answer. Your ideas are "stupid" you won't even explain why they will work. You just say, "Use your imagination,".

"Which is what i'm doing, duh. It is a possibility for a good game."
Then explain why, maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not missing the fact that you don't explain. Oh, and I'm starts with a capital, duh!

"BTW nice try, stop trying to change the subject- or are you running out of arguments?"

No, you keep on using that "It still would work as it is!" argument that is pointless, and you neaver explain anything, your arguments seem to be made using the copy and paste button. Nice try, but to win an argument it takes a lot more then the copy and paste button and saying random stuff without explaining.  You don't even seem to be trying. Give me a ten sentence explanation that explains why on earth Terror On Tour will make a good game on it's own without these so called arguments:
"It still would work as it is!"
Ok, this is just dumb without supporting arguments, which seem to be missing whenever you use this.
"Use your imagination,"
OMG! That's the argument three to six year olds use when they have ran out of ideas. Why is that being used in your posts? If that is a good argument, then using that, you could make a case for a math text book being a video game.

[JoeHardyRocks]

"You're spelling is getting really annoying, and It still would work as it is!"
Meanwhile, you make a major grammer mistake. "Still would work" Is not considered a "major grammer mistake" DUH! Ok, maybe it will work, explain to me how. How on the earth would it work? Explain to me and maybe I will change my mind. You seem to be brushing that off, girl! Why wouldn't it? It could totally work! It would be just like the book! You just hate it because "You would get lost" And you hate the UBs! And I highly doubt you will change your mind, because you are just being stubborn.

"I still don't care what you think, all your stupid "great ideas" wouldn't work."Don't you even care about it being fun?"

Meanwhile, you don't explain why it does not work. That's because you don't have an answer. Your ideas are "stupid" you won't even explain why they will work. You just say, "Use your imagination," You just think that whatever you think is the best possible decision anyone could make! I repeat: The world does not revolve around you!!!
"Which is what i'm doing, duh. It is a possibility for a good game."
Then explain why, maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not missing the fact that you don't explain. Oh, and I'm starts with a capital, duh! What is there to explain? What don't you get? What is it that you can't seem to comprehend?!?

"BTW nice try, stop trying to change the subject- or are you running out of arguments?"

No, you keep on using that "It still would work as it is!" argument that is pointless, and you neaver explain anything, your arguments seem to be made using the copy and paste button. Nice try, but to win an argument it takes a lot more then the copy and paste button and saying random stuff without explaining.  You don't even seem to be trying.

Who's the one copying and pasting? I don't see you coming up with any new arguments! And BTW, this doesn't sound like a "three to six year old"? "I might get lost!"

Terror on Tour would work because:
It would be fun to play as Frank, Joe, and Nancy like they played Nancy and Bess in Crystal Skull- it would be like the books, and what's better than playing the Hardy Boys?
You would be able to actually play a game  like the books.
You would probably be able to see Bess and George, Deirdre, and Ned in person.
You could sneak around backstage as Frank or Joe and run into the performers.
You would rescue Deirdre at the end by figuring out how to do the sound systems or something, which they could turn into a puzzle.
You still would be able to chase the bad guys.

There. Now you can''t use your "You neaver explain" argument. You're going to have to try harder.
And there are more reasons even! What would not work? "Give me ten sentences!" And stop being ignorant!

[SDLagent]

Okay, settle down guys.

[Bigfootman]

"You're spelling is getting really annoying, and It still would work as it is!"
I bolded your grammer error.

[Olivia]

ALOL at everything on this page ? even starting from the very first post.

It?s another one of those UBs ?wars? but disguised through Nancy Drew games. (Okay, actually it?s just a game plot argument but whatever).

I have to admit, I really didn?t like the idea of Terror on Tour as a game. But they can add something and/or make some changes (you don?t necessarily have to combine it with something else). Never say never. And I wouldn?t mind seeing Deirdre too ? that?d be interesting.

[JoeHardyRocks]

"You're spelling is getting really annoying, and It still would work as it is!"

Thank you. Shall I do yours too?

there are a lot of long posts on here its really making my head hurt

[003Robin457]

Does this short post make up for it?
