Alibi in Ashes- did "Where's Nancy?" finally get turned into a game?
One need look no farther than the Book Suggestions thread on the HeRinteractive message boards to see people what books people really want to be made into games. Right up the top of the list is The Hidden Staircase, despite the fact it was already incorporated into the computer game version of The Secret of the Old Clock. Also on the top ten list, is the Girl Detective Supermystery Where's Nancy has been requested dozens of times, including my own vote.
HeR is famous for listening to it's fans, illustrated by all the times something has been suggested on the message boards, avidly supported, and turned into a game. MAC games anyone?
So, naturally, the question is, when will they turn Where's Nancy into a game? Better question, how would they, considering Nancy is missing until the end of the book? Though, personally, I want a game based on Where's Nancy to get more involvement from Ned, Bess, and George, not to have Nancy disappear for the entire game.
Is any of this sounding familiar? In Alibi in Ashes, you get to play as Nancy, Ned, Bess, and George, much the same as in Where's Nancy, in which the story is told from the point of view of Nancy, Ned, Bess, and George! Another similarity: in Where's Nancy, Nancy stays trapped in one place for must of the book. In Alibi in Ashes, Nancy stays trapped in the police station for most of the game! True, the main plot of Where's Nancy and Alibi in Ashes are fairly different, but they do share similar elements.
What's your opinion? Do you see any other similarities, or alternatively anything radically different?
