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.

Do you mean the cheating commands? Weren't they in a Read me file comming with the MM?



Hi Rose,

Yes they were in MM1 normal, but I don't have that version anymore.  I only have the MM2 HD and it did not come with anything but the game.  No Mansion Level Builder, Read Me, Custom Mansions (I had to download that separately). 

So where would I find the list of cheat commands?  Also, my notification is not sending me emails.  Hmm?  I only found your reply bcos I was in my notification folder trying to figure out why I am not getting notification emails.  Any suggestions.  I have been away for so long that I have forgotten so many things.

If you no longer have the original game, then you will not be able to use the builder that you downloaded separately. I found my file, and I will email it to you.

Missy, to avoid confusion, you and others should refer to the HD version as MM1 HD.  There are now 2 versions of MM1:

The original with mansion builder.  An example of an included mansion is "Cathedral towers".  An example of a custom mansion is "Midnight mazes and monsters".  Not playable in Lion or Mountain Lion.

The HD without mansion builder.  A HD version of the original game. It has the same included mansions as the original MM1 above plus two more.  Most but not all of the custom mansions that were designed for the original run in it after a conversion to the HD format. Playable in most versions of OS X and Windows


Then there is MM2, which you, among many others, tested.  It comes with mansion builder and is not playable in Lion or Mountain Lion.  That is the sequel to the original with new monsters (trolls etc.), platforms that go between rooms etc.  An example of an included mansion is "Dr. Demented's Den".  An example of a custom mansion is "A fine mess".

The "cheating" commands you are talking about are the "command-D" combination.
