Fun Facts

Trivia

• You can hear the hum in the background when Strong Bad speaks, implying that this was recorded before The Brothers Chaps got a better mic and thus is an authentic old email.

Real-World References

• "What is dagger?" is probably a reference to how many old text adventures usually wouldn't do what you told them to.
• These emails were originally up on the now defunct WAP version of Strong Bad email.

Fast-Forward

• The text game probably led to Thy Dungeonman, seeing as it's extremely similar.
  • The comment on scrolls and flasks are referenced in Thy Dungeonman, for these are key items in Thy Dungeonman.
  • The dagger in Thy Dungeonman that you can get without even being told about it is probably a reference to this email.
