The Manhole: Masterpiece for Negative User Reviews

✓ Old classic, emphasis on "old"Parents, take heed: this game is old. Ancient, by software standards. It's an early 90s upgrade to a late 80s game, ported to iOS with no revisions. That said, the geniuses who made this game basically invented the point-and-click-everywhere game format that you see all over the App Store these days, so your kid will feel right at home in the Manholeverse. Underwhelmed, perhaps, but comfortable. It's a classic and a pioneer. That said, I wish the Miller Bros. would do a real revision of this game for iOS. I say that with some hesitance, because the structure of the game is really perfect. Everything fits together just so, and the exploratory, objective-free gameplay still feels like a refreshing change of pace. Updated (not bells and whistles-ified) graphics and sound, and perhaps more complex character interactions, would enhance the game's appeal to a modern child audience. iPad compatibility is a must. C'mon, Robyn and Rand. For old time's sake. (Also, a possible bug... Is Mr. Dragon ever in his house? I'm hungry for biscuits, baby).JFScheppkeVersion: 1.1

✓ According to my 5 yr old.The first thing my 5 yr old son said about this app: "Mom, this game is stupid. You can't pick up any clues to use later. There aren't any puzzles to figure out... It does nothing!" I gave it a second star, for pity, because I've already introduced him to simpler Myst-like apps, like Mystery Lighthouse, the Lost City, & Cryptic Keep. All of which completely engaged him from start to finish. He has a clever, hungry mind- and this app just wasn't enough of anything to keep his interest. Which doesn't really say much for an app intended for children..KnoxjpacVersion: 1.1

✓ Hmmm...I couldn't figure out what was amiss with this app, so I gave it to the 6yo for scrutiny. After about 20 minutes, he asked 'what does it do' ? Good question ... There are no items to collect, no puzzles, no story, no challenge and no point. The 4yo also had a go and lost interest after 30 seconds ... Im guessing its meant to be whimsical, but it's way too random and it doesn't do anything. The graphics and sound are quite poor as well. I can't really recommend it at all. Sorry guys ....ZmaaranVersion: 0

✓ Not as charming as it thinks it isI picked up this app because I loved the original Manhole on my old black-and-white Macintosh back in the day. This app, however, tries way too hard to be "goofy" at the expense of all the simple touches that gave the original its charm. Don't bother..LeeshaJoyVersion: 1.0

✓ Not Worth ItSure it is updated but I still love running this on the old LC II Mac.JcalofVersion: 1.1

✓ Bummer!I loved The Manhole when I had it years ago and eagerly downloaded it when I saw it would work on my iPad… only to discover NO SOUND - unless earphones or external speaker are used. Since the music is the very best part of The Manhole this makes it utterly useless IMO. Please fix!!.MatawheezeVersion: 1.2
