Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger
In Stay Tuned for Danger, Nancy travels to New York City to visit friend Mattie Jensen, television’s hottest new soap opera actress. Nancy goes undercover as an extra on the soap opera to find out who is threatening Rick Arlen, the male lead of the same soap opera.
We thought that JA reviewer Harriet Gurganus – who as a young girl read all of the Nancy Drew books – was the perfect choice to decide if Nancy had successfully crossed over from the printed page to computer. Her verdict, ‘I was thrilled when I heard that Her Interactive had plans to resurrect Nancy Drew and make her the star of a series of adventure games for the computer. The titles for the games in the series are Secrets Can Kill, released in the fall of 1999, Stay Tuned for Danger, released in the winter of 1999, and The Haunted Mansion, still to be released. The concept was for these games to appeal to girls, ages ten and up. Well, I am certainly on the up-side of ten and I have enjoyed every minute of Stay Tuned for Danger. Actually, I consider these games to be ageless and genderless. Anyone who is looking for a fun time at the PC will find it here.‘
