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.

Greetings all,
I had forgotten that I never finished this castle - now I remember why!
Here I am (see snapshot - 16298) - my guess is that the "next" jump to the right is necessary, but imho impossible  Tongue at least 24 Jacks agree with me!
Help, Undecided
DLC

P.S. I check the box below so that I get notified of replies to my topics, but to no avail - where should I go to post such a concern? Thanks!

Hi dl,

For Jack to make longer jumps, hit the 9 key to go right, the 7 key to go left.  Good luck!

It is possible to jump to the right but it is very difficult! When beta testing my jack lost more life I care to remember.

Ugh! More and more Jacks, and I can't do it! Still stuck in the same place. I would say the use of the "9" key is of little help, unless there's a certain keystroke combination (right -> then 9, or right and 9 together, or right/command then 9 or all three together?) - what am I missing?

You need to stand further to the right, nearly on the lava!! I hate it myself when it is so crucial where to stand. but it is a difficult mansion with difficult jumps!!!

Hi dl- also try lowering your monitor resolution as far as you can. The game will look bad but it will increase your screen size and make it easier to slooowly inch forward without falling into the lava. Good luck!

Thanks Rose & Semi-Native, as usual you already gave all the right answers during my absence !!

There's only one thing I might add to you, member with the unpronounceable name of dlcattftwin  Wink  Grin :

I remember we had similar discussions already shortly after JUMP! was released, so if you look through the old JUMP! - threads I'm sure you'll find at least one such question where I gave a detailed answer on how these situations can be mastered.

Here I only say this much:
That mansion isn't called JUMP! for nothing.....    Wink    Smiley

Once you've found out what the "twist" is, it becomes easier, I promise !
