Fond nerd-ish memory..

Did anyone ever go to homestarrunner.com and watch those videos or play the games? This was probably back early high school/late middle school for me. There was this one game where you were a knight and had to go conquer the evil monster, but you had to make sure to do everything right along the way with all of these commands. I vaguely remember rescuing a baby and then using it to retrieve something through a small hole. It was SO HARD because if you missed even one step you were screwed... I'm wondering if this was only my friends that did this. It was frustrating to no end.

  2. No, peasant quest was the Trogdor one. This one was Dungeonquest or something. "Ye find yeself in yon dungeon. Ye see ye flask. Obvious exits are north, south, and Dennis. What wouldst ye do?"

    and you'd say "get ye flask" and it'd be like "you can't get ye flask" and you'd have to use your imagination to figure out why on earth you can't get ye flask!

    Except it was just bolted to the wall. But whatever.

    Text based RPGs are hard D:

  6. I played this game that was just ridiculous. It was good for the laughs. The fighting was cheese and the characters had names like Sir Vice and Sir Loin.
