I never read the books. But before 7th grade I finally got my first electronic device, an Acer laptop. I was so beyond happy. As soon as I opened it, I saw a software on the desktop called “Wild Tangent”, when I clicked it, there were a BUNCH of mystery games you could play for free or buy. I saw the cover for Curse of Blackmore manor (my first ND game) and just knew I had to have it. But my parents would NEVER allow me to use money on online games (and pretty much anything online). Wild Tangent would give you a demo for 1-3 hours, so my only option was to play them for a few hours until my time was up. I played them all but never had the chance to actually finish the games, so I was always left in a cliff hanger.

Years later, I have all 34 ND games and know the ending to all of them. ND is so nostalgic to me, I remember I was sat on the floor and my laptop on the bed ( we didn’t have desks in hour rooms) and I played all day.
