Transcript

{Scene opens to a wintry version of the burninated cottage from Peasant's Quest, with an odd blue object with a red bottom in the screen as well. The score in the corner reads "0 out of 1." Rather Dashing walks on in winter attire. The command "look" is typed in, loading up the following text}

Even your burninated hovel
looks picturesque in the
cold Peasantry snow. Oh,
and there's a snowglobe on
the ground. That's what
that red and blue thing is.
A snowglobe.

{The command "get snowglobe" is typed. Rather Dashing picks up the globe, and the score counter changes to "1 out of 1." The following text appears, as the got item sound from Peasant's Quest plays}

Hey! It's a Trogdor snow
globe! Now you have a
Decemberween present for
Nana. Score!

{The Trogdor snow globe appears on-screen, with the text "Greetings from Peasantry" on it}

Easter Eggs

  • At the end you can shake the snowglobe. As you shake it, eventually a "Time Wasted" counter will keep track of how much time you spend shaking the snowglobe.
  • The timer does not count down unless you are actively shaking the globe.
  • If you shake the snowglobe for 2 minutes you will get this message (as spoken by Trogdor himself):
Congratulations!  You
wasted more time than any-
body else ever has.  Happy
Decemberween, peasant.
Your life will be spared
for another day.

Fun Facts

  • In case you couldn't tell, this is a reference to Peasant’s Quest.
  • 'Nana' is a reference to Cheat Commandos...O's.
  • The voice of Trogdor is most likely generated by the "Software Automatic Mouth" (SAM) speech synthesizer, originally released for the Commodore 64 in the mid-1980's.
  • If you shake the snow globe fast enough in a circular motion, the peasants appear to float through the globe.
  • An ActionScript allows you to press Enter or Spacebar to advance to the next event (if you don't feel like clicking the text).
