Creature Of Kupu Cave is the only one I've played.

Interestingly enough, I just finished Kapu Cave yesterday. 

I think I liked the first one better (TRAIN), but the second one (CAVE) was pretty good as well. 

To be honest, I am not a big fan of either, simply because of the style of play these games follow.  But they were a nice change of pace from the usual games I play.

I went with both.  Train was nice in that you interacted with the Hardy's, who were on an ATAC mission (and Nancy knows about ATAC, so it obviously takes place after Terror on Tour), plus the Hardy's personalities to Nancy are much more inline with the Hardy's of the Casefiles/SuperMystery'88 series (I wish they had had the Hardy's say Network, instead of ATAC, since it would've been in a better universe, and the SuperMystery'88 series had Mystery Train that had an extremely similar plot).  'Kapu' allowed you to play as the Hardy's.

HAvent played em.  They sound like a game that would be fun to play once and beat, but then would be boring

I only own "Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon" and haven't played it yet...

[FrankJoeATAC]

You should play it, it's really good!

But one strange thing in Blue Moon Canyon and Kapu Cave is that Frank and Joe look different in each one. I think it is because company changed designers or something. But I really like the way they look in Blue Moon Canyon.

I went with "last train to blue moon canyon".
It seemed longer than Kapu cave

Yeah, i read somewhere that they changed designers, (I think I read it on the Her Interactive site?) I wish they hadn't though.

That's one of the biggest issues with these types of games.  They do not have replay value.  But then when you can get them for just $19.99 or less I guess its not that big of a deal.

Of course, I think people also wish that they were not just PC titles but were also available on the Wii, 360 and PSX systems.

I am sure several would be, but for this style of game that utilizes the mouse more than anything else, it would be tough to make it enjoyable for consoles.

Not on the Wii with the Wiimote.

Plus it was done back in 1990 with Deja Vu appearing on the NES after having been released for the MAC in 1985.

I wish they hadn't either..

You must remember that in Last Train To Blue Moon Canyon the boys were behind a table during the entire mystery.  So a redesign for the Hardy's where you actually see them moving may've been inevitable.
