Most Popular Nancy Drew Game Guides

I've written text walkthroughs for 21 of the 25 games in the Nancy Drew series. The ones I've missed are Legend of the Crystal Skull, Secret of the Old Clock, Danger on Deception Island, and Phantom of Venice.

GameFAQs keeps track of how many views each guide gets. Just for fun, I thought it'd be interesting to list out the most popular guides here.

Curse of Blackmoor Manor (32,174 hits)
Haunting of Castle Malloy (19,035 hits)
The Haunted Carousel (16,368 hits)
Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon (15,500 hits)
Ransom of the Seven Ships (14,270 hits)
Treausre in the Royal Tower (11,378 hits)

All the other guides have received less than ten thousand hits. Warnings at Waverly Academy and The Final Scene are neck-and-neck at around 9,400, though.

The least popular guide is Alibi in Ashes, with only 658 hits. Then again, I only finished that guide three weeks ago. It hasn't had as much time as some of the other guides, which have been up for years now.

Inky said...: The game that you were at your highest and best performance was: 'Stay Tuned for Danger'.
Your steady stream of witty commen-tary all throughout it was entertaining and informative.
And the way you read out alll the clues in different voices and "interacted" with the characters was especially enjoyable!; November 17, 2011 at 10:28 AM
