The Haunted Carousel isn't one of my very favorite games, but I still like it because I enjoy many of the earliest games over later ones in the series. In fact, as a fun-loving person who absolutely loves amusement parks and arcades, the setting in CAR definitely makes it a fun game for me to play. 😁😄👍🏻 Of course, I know they have the park be shut down for obvious reasons, but I've always thought it would be a little more fun if another ride was open or there was at least one other game to play in the arcade. Roller coasters are more of my thing, not carousels, because I like rides with more complexity and twists and turns. And despite the word "haunted" in its title, CAR never scared me, nor do I think it's a scary game in any way. When I first played it, I remember being totally surprised with its complete lack of scares and hauntings, considering that its teaser featured at the end of Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake made it sound much scarier and more sinister. But I guess that just goes to show how trailers can sometimes be misleading. CAR is definitely one of the lighter games in the series, making it a stark contrast to one like Shadow at the Water's Edge, which is undoubtedly the scariest Nancy Drew game in the whole series! 😨😰😱
