Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills,  includes 28 mansions. The 8 Built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. We don't have that many other custom MM2 mansions yet. Design your own custom mansion! Info below.  You can find out more about the game here.

The original Midnight Mansion game contains over 150 mansions. The 8 included mansions which have 3 difficulty levels each, and about 115 approved custom mansions which you can download here and also several freely uploaded mansions. To know the difference between these three types of mansions, click here.

Are you a creative person and thinking of designing a mansion yourself? Or want to know about how to upload it? Click here and we'll show you! You'll find guidelines for betatesters here.

News:
Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills version 1.0.2b has been released. This fixes a bug in Jasperlone Mountains Hard. Simply re-download the game, bring over your custom mansions folder from the old version and play on. All your saves and high scores will not be changed.

Midnight Mansion HD (MM1) is now available at the Mac App Store and at the Actionsoft website. A Windows version is now available.

Here is a list of downloadable MM1 HD ready custom mansions, which also work in the Windows version of the game.

The MM2 custom mansion Hanging Gardens of Babylon by Freddy/SandyBean/Josephine/brell was updated on 19. Nov 2023 to add a fourth section. Available here

Connecting 2nd monitor to G5
06.03.2007 at 22:04:05
 
Has anybody of you ever connected a 2nd monitor to an Apple PowerMac G5 (pre-Intel; Dual 2 GHz; inkl. ATI Radeon 9600).

I know that it's possible...what I do not know:

- Will there be a limit to screen resolution and / or color resolution after I connected a 2nd moniztor ?
 (At the moment I'm running the main (and only) monitor with 1280 x960 (75 Hz) and 16 Mill. colors. Will I be able to keep that  resolution ?)

- I plan to use the 2nd monitor as "enlarged desktop".  But what will happen, when I switch on my computer and only 1 monitor.... will the Mac "automtaically realise" that I have not switched on the second monitor on this particular day, even if it's connected..... and will it 'adjust' the desktop accordingly ?

- What happens to MM, if I have 2 monitors running ??  Will it be full-screen, but only in the main monitor ?  And what is on the other screen then ?

I'll appreciate any advice, knowing that it's rather off-topic to our usual conversations in this forum.   Smiley

MM will run on your main screen, and your other screen will go black.

Don't know the answers to your other questions.

That's actually a pretty great idea. But I don't think there's enough people playing dual screen MM to make it worth Vern's time.

Can't you just press the "leave monitor at is current" at the startup of MM holding down option?  Huh
