Dungeon Man 3!
The boys behind Homestar Runner and Peasant's Quest have just put up a new game on their site: http://www.homestarrunner.com/dman3.html
It's a short but sweet take on early graphic adventures, making light of both the genre and technology of the time in their usual dry wit. It's pretty fun for what it is, and they do a great job of capturing that old timey feel. Basically, it's a good way to blow an hour. Enjoy! (No, I had nothing to do with the making of this game, I just stumbled across it this morning while eating my mini wheats. And I apologize if this should have been posted in the underground section - I wasn't quite sure what it would be considered) |

Brilliant, once again. I love the floppy disk loading sound everytime you switch screens. I got so used to that playing old Sierra games on my Apple II. Brings back fond memories.

I'm stuck on score of 10/38. Have talked to the cornman, troll, monk, and seen the bird and log. I also have the stein. Tried various commands but nothing's right so far. Good fun though.
Oh, I just found a new location |

Great fun! And all of the puzzles made sense, which I wasn't expecting. Too bad that, if the ending is any indication, this will probably be the last Dungeon Man game. Okay, so maybe they're just spoofs, but they're still a blast.

Need help please! Can someone give me pointers/clues rather than a direct solution? Thanks.

Aha, I finally finished it. I hadn't typed the right thing about the log, which was so simple but I was being so dumb. Duh!
That was good fun. Thanks for that Flyboy. |

I guess, it doesn't undestand me, it cannot understand me, it doesn't inderstand the things I say, it cant understand a single word. And those spikes are getting closer.
Amazing job.

I was going to post some hints for the people who are stuck, but there you have it (right above), the first and probably only Dungeon Man 3 walkthrough. It's nice to see that people can still get so excited about a game despite (or in spite) of it's rudimentary graphics.

Which just goes to show that puzzles are and always will be more important than fancy graphics.
