Years later... I enjoyed this very much, loved the sibling energy! I had it on while working so sometimes I was listening more than watching. I totally don't blame you for bailing on that last maze... that generation of tech was awful for things like that, it's almost impossible not to get turned around and it seemed incredibly tedious.

Your “hm’s” are very Nancy Drew. Are you sure this is the first Nancy Drew you’ve played??

I fell asleep to this last night- your longer videos are so soothing. Your sister is a welcome and endearing addition to your adventures, whether they are a virtual train or an outer space hotel. Thank you for your content

Scrum Diddely Umptious · June 23, 2024

I never finished escape to monkey island, i just clicked around enjoying the vibes. But then even as an adult I had to look up a guide because it is not obvious at all! Also I couldnt figure out the pizza puzzle in the zoombinis which is a kids game so I would just play to that part, randomly guess, and most of the time die and restart lol. Kids have such a high tolerance for repetition, I wish I could go back to the good old days of just vibing... Video games were so much more fun

Robert Romero Jr · June 14, 2024

First time seeing you play a game. Loved the energy you two bring especially since you did it all in one go until 330am.

In case you haven't seen them, there's Youtube channel Jenny Nicholson stream archive of her old Twitch streams. I recommend the Disneyland one. There's also one that ends with Jenny and Lindsey watching a Nostalgia Critic video on Frozen II, and it's incredible.

Abigail · June 4, 2024

These games have a special place in my heart so this was a fun watch. I totally agree about hidden object/mystery games sending you on elaborate quests for random household items though!

Tracy Christenson · September 15, 2023

"Take a powder" = "Go away" The idol with feet of clay refers to an important person with a hidden flaw or weakness. It's a Biblical reference, where someone had a dream about a statue with a golden head and feet of clay. The statue got destroyed, predicting the downfall of someone important. I knew the first one right away, but I had to look up the second expression.

T
Tracy Christenson · June 27, 2023

This was one of the best games that Jenny could play because of the haunted train. I second the person above who said that that she could also play Legend of the Crystal Skull for the spider and The Secret of Shadow Ranch for the horses. Other good ones would be The Curse of Blackmoor Manor (my personal favorite - I'd say why I'd particularly like to see Jenny play it but I can't without spoilers), Secret of the Old Clock (very retro), The White Wolf of Icicle Creek (cream that kid with the snowballs!) and Warnings at Waverly Academy (a touch of Dark Academia, and I'd like to see Jenny's assessment of the students).

new patron here - love your sister 🤍 you guys have a super cute dynamic in this vid! light gaming suggestion - did you ever play any of the scooby doo mystery computer games??? those (to my memory) were really fun and cute point/click adventures, i vividly remember the one that took place in a ghost town was such a fave in my childhood!!

Alex Coats · June 22, 2022

It's really interesting that the guy at the end has a letter dated April 14, 1865 hoping for the end of the Civil War, but the civil war actually ended on the 9th.

V
Vincent Adultman · July 8, 2022

I haven't watched the video yet but I happened to see your comment. I'm assuming April 14 is referring to a different event which, at the time, might be viewed as "the end" of the war. That being Lincoln's assassination.

At around 2:12, you’re right! You can’t make 2 with those coins. You can only make odd numbers if you use all of those.

The front of the puzzle box shows the wolf eating the cat and the cat eating the peacock, indicating that these are the 2 pairs that can't be left alone

April Feldman · April 27, 2022

This was so fun to watch!! Also, as someone who plays a lot of Nancy Drew w/ my friend- you finished this perfectly fine! A lot of the games have a very tedious 'puzzle' right at the end, and we have looked up the solutions to a lot of them. These games are fun, but spending an hour on one puzzle right at the end can really sour the ending.

Tracy Christenson · March 5, 2022

The reason why Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys are all frozen somewhere in their late teens or early 20s is that the Stratemeyer Syndicate had many other children's book series before them, and the reason why you don't know much about these other, earlier series is that the characters in those series did progress in age. The characters in the earlier series grew up throughout the series, developed careers, got married, and had kids of their own, and at that point, they couldn't be teen adventurers or young adult detectives anymore, so the series had to end. The very first Stratemeyer Syndicate series was the Rover Boys, which started in the 1890s and featured three brothers, who were sort of prototypes for the Hardy Boys. The Rover Boys attended a boarding school and had adventures with their friends and their wealthy adventurer father. (These books are public domain now, and you can read them for free online, but I can't recommend them because they're not really as good as the Hardy Boys and they're some of the most racist children's books I've ever read. The one where they go to Africa is the worst!) Over the course of the series, the boys grow up and graduate from school and get married, and then, there was a spin-off series with their sons attending boarding school. The spin-off series was basically like the first one but with cousins instead of brothers. The precursor to Nancy Drew was a character named Ruth Fielding. Ruth was a similar sort of character to Nancy, but she was an orphan in the 1910s who went to live with a disagreeable, penny-pinching uncle. Ruth also went to boarding school and had adventures with her friends on school breaks. Over the course of the series, she finished school, graduated, and went to college with her friends. While she was in school, there was a dormitory fire, and she and her friends made a student film (silent movie because that's what they had at the time) to raise money for repairs. It was so successful that Ruth got interested in the film industry. She went to California and became an actress and movie scenario writer and worked her way up in the film industry until she owned her own film company, like the real life silent film actress Mary Pickford. For a good part of the series, Ruth has adventures and solves mysteries on the sets of the movies she works on. Then, the twin brother of Ruth's long-time friend proposes to her, but she doesn't accept him right away because she doesn't want to give up her career. They eventually get married when he agrees that she can continue her career, even though he's wealthy and can support a wife without her needing to work. Before the end of the series, they have a baby girl of their own, but the series sends shortly after that. The Stratemeyer Syndicate started publishing the Hardy Boys books immediately after the Rover Boys series ended, and they started writing Nancy Drew shortly before they brought the Ruth Fielding series to an end. They liked the basic format of the stories in these series and those basic types of characters, but they made the decision that their characters would not age from that point forward so they would never have to end either series. These Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys are over 90 years old now, and they are still ageless. Every decade or two, they just write new books or start new series sets with the characters or revise old ones to update language, slang, and technology in the stories to keep them roughly contemporary with the time of writing, but that's it. It's basically what they do with new Scooby-Doo series now, but Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys books did it first.

Tracy Christenson · March 5, 2022

I'm really into vintage children's books, and when Jenny was talking about how people found it shocking that Nancy was having sex in that tv show, I felt like I should point out something about Nancy Drew that actually makes some nostalgic adults feel a little odd about her - Nancy Drew never ages and never will age. She is perpetually frozen in her late teens or early 20s, and it's usually left vague which of those it is, kind of like Scooby-Doo characters, except Nancy has been like that for decades before Scooby-Doo was created. Nancy has a boyfriend, but she's never going to get married. Canonically, Nancy isn't even studying for a career. Do you know what Nancy really dreams of doing in the future? No, you don't because she doesn't have any stated life ambitions. She is an amateur detective, not a professional detective, and she's not formally studying criminology. If she attends any classes in books, movies, tv shows, or computer games, they're always isolated classes, not part of any stated program of study or related to any future career plans because Nancy Drew doesn't have any. She can't have any and never will by design because, if she had any or was following any school or training program for anything, people would expect to see progress in it, and if there was progress in it, Nancy would have to age, and eventually, she would be too old to be a teen detective, and the series would have an end. Nancy Drew is purposely left somewhat vague as a character so she can be or do anything that the current story requires. She can take a journalism class or a museum internship or accompany friends at an archaeological dig or go on a whale watch or visit an old theater or do volunteer work at any number of interesting locations without any of these having anything to do with one another or relate to anything else going on in her life. That's fun and leaves the character flexible, but the unsettling part is the realization that there is nothing else going on in her life. Nancy is always free to travel somewhere to visit a friend and help them with their latest problem because she has no other obligations in her life to interfere. She never turns anybody down because she can't take time off of work or school because she doesn't have either of those on a regular basis. Because of this, Nancy's life never really progresses, and her relationship with Ned never really progresses. In some of the books and shows where Nancy appears alongside the Hardy Boys, there's often an implication that Frank and Nancy have crushes on each other, but they never really progress to anything, either. While a lot of us are a bit nostalgic about Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, it does have an unnerving feel about it when you begin to analyze it because they don't age or progress, and they don't have futures that they're working toward. I think it's implied that the Hardy Boys are apprenticing to be private detectives under their father, who is a private detective, but Nancy is like a blank slate, with no definite ambitions of her own.

Mady, you know, from TV · February 17, 2022

This was the first Nancy Drew game I ever played as a kid! For me it was very enjoyable and started a (continuing) love of the somewhat clunky mystery games. I had like 8 pages in a notebook filled with my horrible child handwriting and very useless transposed diagrams - I probably still have it around. I think I've only revisited this game once, but I've played a bunch more of them and it still holds a special place in my heart ❤️. It was so fun to see an adult play through for the first time and encounter the same puzzles that ate up half my summer when I was like 9. I'm fairly sure I cheated on the slug puzzle 😅 Thanks to you and your sister for keeping me company and taking me on a train right back to nostalgia canyon!

L
Lizzie Hunsaker · February 15, 2022

Alright, time for an info dump that nobody asked for about this game: - Nancy is on the train because Lori's parents know the Hardy boys' parents and they invited her to come along. - There was an infinite version of the Camptown Races horse jump game on the Her Interactive website many years ago. Looks like all the minigames they used to have on there are gone, though. RIP. - The "for girls who aren't afraid of a mouse" slogan was about computer mice and also poking fun at the stereotype of women being scared of rodents. They changed the slogan later since they did have a decent number of guys who loved the games, too. - I think someone else already commented about this, but the fishy fin was on that little ad/paper thing you found in the chest near the Hardy bros. That's how they expect you to know it's a hand from the deep. - The letter from the guy who talked about the lamps and carbide was "from" a real guy! Another one of Jake's famous friends who was an actual person. :) - There are some ND games that have actual coins scattered all around for you to find! Some games have currency and they'll have little shinies pop up around the environment for you to collect. - For that final puzzle, there's a fire pit somewhere in the mine with rocks that have images and numbers on them. The rocks indicate you pull the symbols by the cactus, fire, snake, weird thing, fish, and then bats. It really is a struggle to find all the stuff you need for that. (Still not as bad as the puzzle at the end of Phantom of Venice, though. Ugh.) - The escape from the mine is a lot simpler than you think, haha. You're just supposed to lean away from the scary death signs. The side the sign is on is the side that kills you. Anyway, this was super fun to watch! There are a ton of these games so you could totally play another one if you want to. ;)

E
EndoGladry · August 9, 2023

Oh god not the puzzle at the end of Phantom of Venice holy shit! I was doing a playthrough of all the games after like a 7 year break and had chosen to do everything on senior detective for the first time. There were frustrating moments in many of the games, e.g., triggering Day 2 in Secret of Shadow Ranch ughhhh or playing The Curse of Blackmoor Manor for the first time ever and failing at the wand/gargoyle race over and overrrrr... Nothing made me more mad then the end of Phantom though. My boyfriend was like "I think you should take a break, you're getting visibly upset" LOL

Lizzie Hunsaker · February 14, 2022

My husband has a work trip this week so I'll be spending my Valentine's Day watching this! I've loved these games since I was five. I used to live near the company that made them and for a few years, I got to go into their office occasionally to test puzzles and they would send me beta copies of the games for testing. Looking forward to seeing how your playthrough goes! :D

PamperYamper · February 14, 2022

Thanks for doing this! Fun video. I watched almost 3 hours of it even though I don't know the IP or the game and I didn't vote for it. Thanks Obama. (jkjk) I thought it was interesting when you were talking about how dolls don't have last names. I think I heard once that Barbie's full name is Barbara Roberts. IDK. 3 feels very green to me. 5 is definitely yellow because of the 5 golden rings! I hope you're doing good and that you do the pokemon one next!

Wow, thank you for this epic video! If I’d been playing that game (at any age) I would have rage-quit at so many points… so I admire your perseverance and good humour about it all. Also great to see another crossover with your sister, for her moral support/mockery.

Ooh and if you ever do another Nancy Drew game, check out the Universal Hint System (ex for this game: https://www.uhs-hints.com/uhsweb/ndrew13.php). They have really great hints for most ND games, where you can find a specific puzzle and get everything from a light nudge to a full solution depending on what you want to see, so you can get help without spoilers. Basically, it's like having your sister's help without making her stay up until 3am (though it was fun hanging out with the two of you!).

Dan Gibbins · February 9, 2022

Well that was a lot of fun, and now I also really miss escape rooms. Thanks a lot for making it. I was right there with Jenny when she knew she needed one more slug. I was wracking my brain and it was mathematically impossible and for a second I thought I was going crazy. Also the duct tape thing sure was a weird make-work cul-de-sac (it's like they designed all the puzzles in advance and realized they had one left over), and that final mine puzzle was messed up, the second Lindsay explained how to solve it I'd have been googling a walkthrough, Jenny did the right thing.

D
David A Behlman · February 10, 2022

I had to crunch the numbers to double check the slug thing. She had 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, & 8. Which adds to 27, so the closest halving of that is 13 and 14 which gives a +/-1 on the scale. Then it gets weird and hard for me to see without writing it down: If you take one from the other pile it becomes 12 and 15 leading to a 3 on the scale. It seems that having only 6 slugs that added to an odd number is why it wouldn't work. I'm sure there's some fancy seeming number-theory principle here, but who needs to name it when y'all can feel it with your high midi-chlorian counts.

ImslendermanAMA · February 9, 2022

on pewdiepie — recently stumbled across his book review series where he genuinely reviews classic literature like Crime and Punishment and Discourses of Epictetus. it feels very surreal to hear him talk about stoic philosophy. the comments are like “hey pewds have you read marcus aurelius’ meditations?”… anyways I find him to be a very strange figure because he makes content for a mainstream audience but as an individual he seems to have a lot of cool, niche interests

A
Adrienne R · February 12, 2022

Yeah, I've never liked his stuff, but any time I hear other YouTubers talking about him, they always say he's a very generous and humble guy. So I guess Pewdiepie is more of a persona?

C

No spoilers, but I think maybe you actually saw Lamb lol.

Cedonia Peterson · February 9, 2022

Also if you ever do this again, for goodness sake, just take pictures of things like the dance diagram on your phone! It’s so much easier to do that and delete it from my phone’s camera roll once I’m done with the game, vs trying to record and decipher complex diagrams I copied by hand.

A
Adrienne R · February 12, 2022

You know, I was going to say "but they need the authentic 2000s experience" but even Nancy had a phone that could take pictures - and she sure as hell didn't have a pen.

S
Soda Bunni · February 9, 2022

On my second watch through I just noticed the fishery ad at the very beginning of the game says “hand of the deep” and has pictures of fins identical to the apparatus at the end. Makes me have a little bit more respect for the game that that puzzle wasn’t just stupid.

this whole video made me so happy. I first played this game late at night in my cousin's house in the middle of the night. the "MAMA" of the creepy doll scared us and made us crack up. Our uncle would gift us the games for birthdays and Christmases until I found them at Target and Best Buy and got them as soon as they were released. There are 33 of these games and, while they can be clunky and the UX isn't always perfect, they were always really important to me. The community around the games is also incredible. I was on the Her Interactive forums a lot, answering questions. I love people wanting hints without spoilers. AND it was my first fan fiction writing. They have rules on the site for posting "Alternative Endings" and other types of Fan Fiction on the forums. Some real wonderful nerds out there. Thank you for giving it a shot (Lindsay Twice!) and THANK YOU for everyone who voted for this lol!

In the original Nancy Drew books, George's name was simply "George" from birth, and the explanation is that her mother was very close to her Uncle George, wanted to name her child after him, and didn't let it stop her that her child was a girl, but fortunately, George turned out to be a tomboy and didn't mind the boyish name. In later books, they say that George is short for Georgina and is just a nickname.

Years ago, I saw a doll at a thrift store that was dressed all in black and had a sad expression. It looked like a Victorian orphan in mourning. It was one of the creepiest dolls I've ever seen. I wondered why anybody would want a doll that looks permanently sad, but ever since, I've been fascinated by the idea.

JENNY (attempting the puzzle): You don't think my chart's going to work, but I think it is! ===================== The sibling energy is strong in this one! Thanks for bringing on your sister; it made for a really fun watch. Hopefully she can make guest appearances in the future if another stream-friendly topic wins.

Nancy Drew is semi-famous? In some of the books she has notoriety for solving cases, but her dad is also a famous lawyer. Some of the villains recognise her because of this, and she often becomes a target.

Devin M · February 8, 2022

fwiw, I personally think the amusement park story ND game is a little boring. This was much more entertaining.

T
Tracy Christenson · February 8, 2022

I agree. The amusement park one was one of the easiest games for beginners and the only game that I solved without resorting to hints at some point, I think. But, the storyline wasn't as colorful, and there wasn't as much action.

I also think the cheeseburger joke from this game is based on a joke from the old 1970s Hardy Boys tv show. In the first episode of that show, the boy order a couple of cheeseburgers in a haunted house-themed restaurant because they need a reason to hang around and talk to someone who works there. Joe is picky about what they put on the cheeseburgers, and Frank asks him why he's worrying about that. Joe insists that if they're going to pay for the burgers, they ought to be the way they like them. Frank says that he'd like to see Joe follow someone more than a block without stopping for a cheeseburger, like this is a thing with him. Then, when Frank chases their current suspect, Joe stays behind and eats both of the cheeseburgers.

A
Adrienne R · February 12, 2022

Joe gets it

T
Tracy Christenson · February 8, 2022

Further fun fact: In the version of the first Boxcar Children book that most of us know from childhood, the cause of the parents' death is never revealed. They are dead by the time the story begins, and the children never explain how it happened. However, the very first edition of that book, written in the 1920s, actually had the father's death in the first chapter, and he drank himself to death. The reason why the children are so resourceful is that they basically had to take care of themselves and their father before he died. When the author decided to turn this book into the first in a series in the 1940s, she revised it to remove that disturbing episode in the first chapter, and she changed the children's last name from Cordyce to Alden, which is an easier name for children to read.

If you really like escape rooms, check out the Zero Escape series of video games! They are visual novels whose core gameplay is escape rooms. All of them are on PC, and the story is great!

M
Markus D · May 25, 2023

I hear so much praise for the Zero Escape games but honestly, I was bored to death by 999 which I found had a lot of repetitive dialogue, and the lead female character/love interest was insufferable. I tried so hard to like it because I thought the premise was cool and some of the characters were interesting, but it was really held back by the weird writing and the fact that it sounded like a premise for a thriller and/or horror, but the game never went that one step further to make the tone really feel "scary".

M
Michael · February 8, 2022

This was a great video and my favorite ramble. Thank you for taking the time to cut out a lot of the filler, while keeping the core game intact. Would have been happy with the uncut version, but the editing kept the game going.

There must always be a light Jenny and a dark Jenny to maintain balance.

T
Tracy Christenson · February 8, 2022

Oh, Jenny, you have to brush up on your classic children's literature! The Boxcar Children are orphans. In the first book, they run away after their parents' deaths and hide out in an old boxcar, living independently, because they know that their only other relative is their grandfather, and they always heard that he was a mean man, so they don't want to live with him. However, they eventually meet him, find out that he's nicer than they thought, and go to live with him. He's a very wealthy man, and he moves their old boxcar to his backyard so they can use it as a playhouse. He funds other adventures for them throughout the series or provides them with other opportunities for adventure through friends or connections. The Hardy Boys are a pair of brothers, and Hardy is their last name. Frank is the older one, and Joe is the younger brother. Their father is a private detective. The Hardy Boys are a Stratemeyer Syndicate series, which means that they were all written by ghost writers working for the same company that produced Nancy Drew, and that's why they're often associated with each other.

Max S · February 8, 2022

It's good!! It was definitely marketed poorly. It's not really horror, but if you want moody Scandi weirdness it's worth a watch. In terms of Icelandic films, it's probably one of the best.

Jackson Bockus · February 8, 2022

Currently at 2:07:00 and had to do actual math to realize that the puzzle was impossible with the slugs she had. Annoying of the game to do that; it really seems like it should be possible, but it turned out those slugs will always give you an odd balance no matter how they’re arranged.

D
David Barry · February 8, 2022

Yeah, of the six slugs, three were odd. So there'll always be an even number of odd slugs on one side (which makes that total even), and an odd number of odd slugs on the other (which makes that total odd). An even number minus an odd number is always odd.

Ok, unfortunately I've gotta go to sleep so I've had to skip to the updates and jesus Patreon has become so weird. Like I already cringe when podcasters and content creators start to refer the random people who watch them as their "compassionate community"/family and I'm pretty sure there are at least 5 podcasts/channels that I unsubed because they started doing these shady parasocial stuff. But like encouraging calling the patrons every week and give them nicknames feel like a classic trick from a Scientology recruitment book. Man, with that and the whole crypto stuff- I'm getting scared that Patreon might be interested of becoming a platform for cult leaders. Anyway, thx for mentioning the survey and being honest about it.
