“A ranch vacation takes a terrifying turn when a ghostly horse appears in this mystery game. My only gripe with the game is that I think it has the most confusing layout of any game in the Nancy Drew series! Seriously, finding my way around the castle was super frustrating! Besides that, I think this is a very underrated Nancy Drew game.

It’s also one of the easiest games in the series to beat, in my opinion. I enjoy the fact that any money you may need to spend in the game can be found scattered throughout the game without you having to earn it via minigames. But upon replaying it, it’s much better than I remember! I enjoy the overall atmosphere of the game as it takes place in a German castle tourist attraction.

The genre of computer games I’ve played mostly are point-and-click games and one of my favorite series of this genre is the Nancy Drew series produced by HeR Interactive. I’ve never owned a gaming console (besides a Game Boy Advance which I only had one game for), so my familiarity is strictly on the PC platform. While I don’t consider myself a “gamer” as I don’t think I’m well-versed or well-experienced enough to do so, computer games have been a part of my life ever since I was a child. One subject I haven’t really talked about on this channel is that of computer and video games.
