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.

Sam,

I'm afraid it isn't that easy. First of all, a composer has to be dead for more than 70 years (European law; in the US it could be 50 years) and then his works might become public domain.
In other cases the works (original recordings) have to be made 50 years or more ago.... so any recordings from 1957 onward do not apply at all.

Also, often copyrights are renewed, and go over to the estate of a deceased composer etc. .... so it's definitely not as straightforward as you might imagine (I'm sorry to say).

The composer's death is one thing. But although e.g. Bach is dead for a very long time, the performers have rights as well. There is only one safe solution for MM: making music yourself. Sorry, Sam.

No, not at all....... but I am a composer, and I know how I would feel if my copyrights were violated !!

BTW: I'm not writing this, to put you off, or cause trouble.... but to PREVENT trouble !! I know that -especially in America- copyright lawsuits can get very expensive..... and I'm sure we don't want that to happen.
