Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island

Get 15 Clams from beach.
OK seems easy enough
20 minutes I got 5 clams WOOOOHOOOO!
20 more minutes 5 more clams ok…
I’ll check the other beach
20 minutes later I got 3 Clams, k this is losing its pizzazz.
30 minutes later Nancy says (no more clams here)
Go online, walkthrough says, “Go back and forth between the 2 beaches after a while there will be some more.”
k…?
I do this for 25 minutes
Someone takes pity on me and does this for 25 more minutes
Maybe there was a glitch
So, save game, turn off computer
Restart computer, restart game
Play game another 25 minutes and still no clams
I have had all the fun I can take, and I dump the game.

I lovingly fold the CD in half and put it in the trash.

Read reviews on game. Everyone loves the game. It’s the best Nancy Drew game ever!
“A great way for parents to bond with their kids.”
I don’t think so
Maybe if you consider openly weeping in front of your family, ‘bonding’
I didn’t even feel like I was bonding with myself

If this is what people call a fun game.
I think I’ll make my own game to play and all I will need is a piece of paper that say’s:

You are in a dark dungeon, you see ye flask
*Get ye flask*
You can’t get ye flask.
*Touch ye flask *
It is cold to the touch.
*Smell ye flask*
It smells of spring and all the joy that spring brings
*Get ye flask*
You can’t get ye flask!
Now you sit there wondering why, oh why, you can’t get ye flask!
*repeat… FOREVER*

Update:
I found another walkthroughs that was better and bought another copy. I played it again and finished the game. I have found that I have anger management issues with computer games.
