Quote from: tomswift2002 on March 23, 2025, 09:18:44 AMUnfortunately, when the game series launched, a lot of the titles adapted were "Nancy Drew Files", which had been cancelled a year before. So the stock on those books might've been non-existent. But still it's funny how the games used stories that had been discontinued.What stories have been discontinued that are in the games?

Quote from: MacGyver on March 22, 2025, 07:39:00 PMI have seen at least one Nancy Drew PC game packaged with a physical copy of one of the Nancy Drew books. (I don't remember which one right now.) But I do know it was a thing.

Quote from: Bigfootman on November 08, 2024, 06:30:22 PMMild correction: the two pilot books were The Bluebeard Room and Phantom of Venice, the Eskimo's Secret does have some fileish elements (and is even a Files book in the French series), and it could be one of the pilot books, but the other two were way more romance focused.Both of those as PC Games were so much better.
