A brief history of the game
At first there was Midnight Mansion, now often called MM1. This game package was for Mac only and contained 8 mansions, each on easy, normal and hard level. Above that there was a builder included, so that customers could design mansions themselves.
Then there was Midnight Mansion HD, now abbreviated as MM1 HD for both Mac and Windows. It contained the 3x8 mansions from MM1 plus 3x a bonus mansion: Tomb of Princes. All in high definition!
Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills, includes 28 mansions with a lot of new features. The 8 built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. Yes indeed, the MM2 package also has an included builder to create mansions!

Custom mansions

In the past decades several customers started experimenting with the builders. Creating rooms. Talking about it on the Midnight Mansion Forums. Sending their own designed mansions to other board members to test them. And finally sending them to the administrators of MMF.
Result? Nearly 200 extra mansions are downloadable from these boards and some of them have over 100 rooms.
If you like to download custom mansions, go to the General Custom Mansions Area (Mac and Windows) where you find the lists with all the download spots.

Appendix to mansionnames on the map
28.12.2006 at 22:58:56
 
With the start of these new boards I tried to create a system to make clear to all custom mansion players, about which edition of a mansion one is playing.

Since the name itself of a (custom) mansion may NEVER change, for saved gamefiles-reasons, I thought that giving an extension to the name shown on the map was the easiest way.

The idea was good. That means: I still think so. But for reasons of space AND style, I am going to change the appendixes. (Thx to Wingy and Brell for the style-remarks!) Each mansion will get something like 5.3. The
first cypher
being the
version
and the
second one
the
update
.

Put into practice, the first cypher for all current mansions will be 1, except for Volcanis (Low) that gets 2 and Catacombs that will have 3. Those mentioned mansions got serious enlargements and aren't version 1 any more.

The second character will always be 0, except for the few mansions that recently got one or more updates. That is why Midnight Mazes and Monsters gets 1.2 (first version & second update) and Back to Square One 1.3 (first version & third update).

Updates will always be mentioned on the downloads-list with the date of release.

I will also announce the changes of the individual appendixes.
But in these cases there is NO REASON AT ALL to download them again!
