Midnight Mansion
A shareware game to pass the time between incredibly important work-related projects.
If you’re a fan of 2D platform games like Dark Castle or Pitfall, Midnight Mansion is fun, easy to pick up, and should keep you busy for a long time. Its eight mansions hold 350 rooms to work your way through (avoiding monsters, climbing vines, collecting keys, and so on), and the included Mansion Builder lets you design your own levels. Three difficulty levels keep players of all abilities coming back for more, and the 32-bit graphics are polished enough that Midnight Mansion doesn’t feel like a relic from a bygone era.

What the review doesn't mention is that MM gamers have designed 90+ additional mansions that are free and downloadable at their forum website, http://www.actionsoft.com/forums/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.plum. The game is fun for adults and for kids (blood can be turned off) - my grandchildren have been playing since they were 4 & 5. An expansion pack is due out shortly with contest-winning mansions. The creator, Vern Jensen is incredibly responsive to player input. Players range in ages from Seniors to single digits and live, literally, all over the world.
