Continues Friday, March 20 at 9:30 PM EDT

The Tower (also known as Grey Tower) is a World Builder game by Louise Hope, originally published in January 1996. Hope went on to create three other World Builder games, later remade them with color graphics, along with a fifth game, updated two of them for Mac OS X, and also created versions you can play on her web site. She continues to work on a sixth game, Xanadu. In The Tower, your friend Jake has gone missing while exploring a ruined castle full of treasure. I’ll do my best to rescue him.

Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower

Continues Tuesday, March 17 at 9:30 PM EDT

It’s time for the fourth game in the Nancy Drew series from Her Interactive, Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower. The game takes place at Wickford Castle Ski Resort in Wisconsin and we’re meant to “follow ancient clues to find Marie Antoinette’s legendary secret.” I did not know Marie Antoinette had a connection to Wisconsin but I’m excited to learn about it.
