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.

Happy Early 10th Birthday Jack Malone!
01.01.2015 at 07:47:19
 
You may think 10 years old is a tad young for an intrepid treasure hunter like Jack Malone, but it's true, his 10th Birthday is coming up... or at least his 10th Birthday of raiding beautiful mansions and other territories just to grab his mitts on some fancy treasure.

Over the past ten years, Jack has been stuck plenty of times in various mansions over two and a half games. But that not all, the community has been the source of many amazing mansion not included in the original packages.

I still remember when I first discovered Midnight Mansion 8 years ago, I was browsing the late downloads site on the Apple website and when I found MM, I was instantly in love, especially the mansion builder. I remember begging my dad to purchase the licence... back in the day when it was easier to convince my parents to buy me a game lol... and I would spend ages attempting to create mansions with my dad's old powerbook G4 and its broken hinge (I had to lie on my bedroom floor and place the lid by the wall to stop it falling)... unfortunately only a couple of these mansions saw release on the forums. It's amazing, I started playing the game when I first started High School and I am still playing it and about to finish college!

So come February 4th 2015 (?), Happy 10th Birthday to Midnight Mansion, thank you to Vern and team for creating the game, thank you to the staff members for maintaining the forum, and thank you player for creating the wonderful mansions.

What MM memories do you have to share?

I started playing MM about when the version came out or there about. I passed my 60th birthday last summer and I am still playing MM! I have beta tested quite a few of the custom mansions. I still enjoy playing and my fingers are getting quicker playing. What was difficult at the beginning is now much easier.

Wow, already! Time flies, huh?

Leon- that's a great story about the broken Powerbook lol.

I think I found MM on a random search for games at whatever macupdate used to be called. The pics looked cool, so what the heck? I didn't love it at first, but by the end of a couple mansions- Best Under $20 Game Purchase Evar!

Thank you Vern and crew for the countless hours of entertainment, and to everyone here at the forum keeping it going. True love never dies  Smiley

Happy Birthday Jack  Smiley

I just looked at my profile, and I joined the forum on December 22, 2006. Wow, time flies when you're having fun. I think I found MM in the Apple downloads, too. I loved it from the beginning, especially because of the level builder and all the custom mansions. I haven't found any game that even comes close to all the enjoyment I've gotten out of MM1 and MM2.
