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.

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.

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.

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

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 ???

Why is a carrot more orange than an orange ?
