What is your Nancy Drew Comfort Game?

Mine are CLK, SHA, and DDI. That era of games and their aesthetics were immaculate, and they were also the first three I played, incidentally.

I made this a while ago as a rough draft of how to separate the games via interface. It has my opinions on where the decline in quality games started but it's arguable that it could've started with TMB. Also tempted to have the first 3 games in their own category.

Nancy Drew Food Review: CAR

Hamburger platter: the menu says the burger comes with “the Works”, which I assume means lettuce, tomato, onion, etc. I see none of that, just ketchup and cheese. And it also says it’s on a sesame seed bun, and I see no seeds. The French fries look like sad noodles, and the salad looks wilted. AND WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND GETS MILK WITH A HAMBURGER?!?

Rating: reminds me of school lunch hamburger, would not eat

Pasta and veggie platter: despite being advertised as being “tossed with sliced mushrooms, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, and fresh sweet basil,” I see very little vegetable content. I don’t even see evidence of the sauce or cheese that’s supposed to come with it either! It just looks like sad plain noodles with the littlest bit of tomatoes. And you’re telling me that brown lump that looks more like Taylor Sinclair’s Oaxaca Laxative Cookie is supposed to be bread? Salad again looks like a wilted mix, and Nancy makes a slightly better beverage choice with the orange juice.

Rating: looks marginally less sad than the hamburger, might eat the noodles and that’s it

Fundae: I will give it this over the others, at least you can clearly see the layers of ice cream and brownie. However, I have a hard time seeing the nuts and banana that are also supposed to adorn the sundae. And is that a seashell as garnish? Who cares, ice cream and brownies always equals a good time.

Verdict: would absolutely eat, and would probably eat multiple
