Now for something completely different. Seeing as we’ve had so much in the way of contentious discussions lately here at SEB I thought I’d try to lighten things up by providing a little game for folks to play.
Check out Thy Dungeon Man II for a little old-school text gaming.
Are you also familiar with Hamlet a la Zork?

in FACT, i’m playing Thy Dungeon Man 2 myself…
…and i’m frigg’n stuck.
Yeah yeah, i have PLENTY of imagine, and so do the creators of the fine Homestar cartoons. But alas, even after programming the option frigg’n strip and dance (go ahead…try “remove cloth” and “dance”) they failed to include the option to “kill Percy” or “drill rat with foot”. Odd, it is, i know. But on several occassions of PASSiNG the rat, i’ve yet to find myself through the maze. Not even the directions from the so-called map, i’m without any clue as to how i get out.
Eventually, after following the directions, i find myself with the a typical multiple-choice SAT question…“Where to go now?”…with the answer of North, my only options are EAST and WEST.
An enigma…
Well, could anybody POSSiBLY give a hint as to what i’m doing wrong? An email would be welcome, if you wish to help. Thanks

One big guffaw from me here GeekMom!
Since at least one of us is being silly, I will admit of toying with the idea of creating a Neverwinter Nights module named
Desert Mirage
The bold hero would be sent to slay an evil sorcerer rumored to work on spells of mass destruction.
If anybody else wants to run with it, be my guest.
Oh man, my sides hurt now!
