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

I've bought the game and love it, even though I don't usually like this kind of game. Hard mode? Hardly! I'm working on Easy mode right now and haven't really payed much attention to my scores. I'll wait until I get better at it.

Just downloaded the demo of Insectoid - like it very much.  Can't afford it until I get paid on 1st December, but will be buying it then.  Well done! Smiley

Ditto Semi-Native's comments - this is not traditionally "my" kind of game, but I really like it. I'm on the easy version but getting close to the next level. Now we need to figure out how to convince all of the "Over 40's" to give it a try.

I usually enjoy reading what other people think of games I like...

Haven't found many reviews of Insectoid, but here's a review of the demo at least.

Hi
Vern
,

just thought I let you know that 2 days ago I tried to play the demo version of Insectoid (which I had downloaded on the first day of release).

However, on my Mac PPC G5 Dual 2 GHz (w/ 2.5 GB RAM and running OS 10.4.11) it simply did NOT work.

After installing properly I clicked on the appl. (demo/game icon) and it tried to start / load.....meaning the logo appeared in the dock and it behaved as if it was starting but did not continue to do so. After - say - 1 minute suddenly my tube screen switched off (!!). First I thought it was just going black in order to show an intro sequence or something, but no, it really went into Stand By (as if I had put the Mac + monitor into sleep mode). There even appeared the usual writing on it, saying there was no signal or something. This always appears when I switch the computer off, and leave t he monitor in StanbdBy (which I always do).

After I had waited for 5 or 7 minutes, I decided I wanted to have my screen back....so without sight and real orientation I hit cmd-Q, trying to get the half-started Insectoid to quit. That worked and as soon as Insectoid was terminated the vision re-appeared to my monitor.

You'll understand that I haven't tried it a sceond time !!?

Hasn't anybody else reported problems like that ???

I would guess some incompatibility issue with your monitor and Insectoid? I wouldn't imagine it having to do with the Mac itself.
