Greatest game ever.

Greatest online game ever. (flash, and turn the sound up). I know it's not friday, but I'm hungover and cold so it feels like friday. And this game doth so rule.
Don't touch the guitar, kid. Don't even touch my guitar.

Such a small team of developers too. How did they manage it?

blatant rip off of the monty python and the holy grail pc game. The very first screen has 3 options, find the grail, watch the movie, or take the survey. if you click find the grail a giant grail fills up your entire screen, click it, party whistles go off, confetti flies, and some very english person yells, "hooray! you found it! good for you!" then get booted back to the first screen with 3 options. (spoiler! you have to take the survey to get to the actual game) and darth vader is luke skywalkers father.

They could have over-engineered just about everything but they managed to keep their team focussed -- great job, I love it and will probably buy the full version when it's released.

i found it, but the troll wouldn't let me past without challenging me for my mana. I let him have it and he gave me the white key.
then i died.

OK, seriously now, once you've killed the troll and the dragon, saved the princess-twins, and saved the nation's economy by careful manipulation of interest rate demons, I love how you can continue to play as the credits roll. It's like a second quest or something.

I think mcsweetie has been playing too much Zork. Or was that Zork II.

It is dark. You are likely to be bored by a Flash travesty.

I love that all of the original actors do the voices. Take that Buffy game...

It was good, but game play was kinda lacking. Customizable controls would have been nice.

I accidentally stabbed the crown, unleashing a cheesy Chicago song. It says I won, but I'm not so sure...
