Unfortunately, the game glitched out halfway through and my parents promptly used that as another excuse to not waste the money. I got a taste of one ( a fashion murder mystery entitled Danger By Design 😩) and I was HOOKED from that point on. No, I am a woman of taste, and my seven-year-old brain desperately wanted to play Nancy Drew mystery video games. Not the video games you’re thinking of though, not that Mario crap or Zelda, etc. However, in elementary school, there was nothing I wanted to do more than play video games. In hindsight, I thank my parents for these choices because I read more than anyone I knew, and (being an only child for most of my life) I really had to flex my imagination muscles in order to have any semblance of entertainment. Video games were absolutely so off-limits for me, and screen time, in general, was kept to a minimum. But, their rules went farther than food and into all aspects of life, meaning that when I eventually discovered video games at a young age it was a setup for disappointment.

When I was a little kid my parents went through a “health nut” phase, which basically means that I didn’t know what a Cheeto was until I finally started having play dates at other people’s houses. The importance of Nancy Drew video games 🎮🔎🔦
