Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock Review
Turn your clocks back - way back - to the year 1930, when a young Nancy Drew sets out on her first mystery. Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock is an interactive version of the first ever Nancy Drew novel, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. But it should be pointed out this downloadable point-and-click adventure game actually debuted more than two years ago - on CD-ROM - as part of Her Interactive's popular Nancy Drew computer game series. Now that many web surfers have a broadband connection, it might be just as easy to download this 500MB+ game directly to your PC.
