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.

Insectoid promotion - need your help!
22.12.2009 at 13:52:05

As you all may know, Insectoid was released Nov. 4th. I've tried to promote the game as best as I can, but it still seems few people know about it -- the number of downloads on the various download sites is very very low. For instance, Download.com generated a mere 26 downloads for Insectoid *since its release*.

I was hoping to wait until end users played the game, and get excited about it and post reviews on the various sites, but since practically no one seems to even know about the game, this isn't happening. I could use some help just getting star ratings started on the various sites. Here are links to a few of Insectoid's listings below. If you have a few minutes, it would help me out a ton if you could create a user account at one of the sites below, and post a star rating / review of Insectoid. (Obviously I'm hoping for the best rating they allow, to encourage new users to download the game, but you can post whatever you think is appropriate.)

If you do, post here which site you did this on, and maybe someone else will post to one of the others. of course, the more the merrier.

A suggestion tho......you should provide a link to the Action Soft web site in the "more info" section at the top right corner where the description is written by the poster.

And the link should be above the other links. Easy access.

Also, search engine words are sooooo important. Your header is: Insectoid - Trailer - PC/MAC" Perhaps adding the word game after Mac might help. So if someone googles Mac Games, this would pop up.
The fact that you have PC/MAC might be missed by google search, if you know what I mean.

When I google Secret Societies.....I do not get a lot of great stuff on youtube, because the posters gave the videos specific titles, which does not show up in the search engines. Do you understand my point?

Just my opinion.
