"No man slays dungeons quite like the Thy Dungeonman from the Thy Dungeonman computer game series. Hi-res graphics improve on the no-res graphics from the previous text-onlyventures. Get ye flask, fool!" - Videlectrix
Thy Dungeonman III is the second sequel in the Thy Dungeonman franchise produced by Videlectrix. The most notable feature of this sequel is the addition of graphics, with imitation low-resolution still frames accompanying each room of the game. As with the first two installments in the the Dungeonman series, the game is a text-command-controlled adventure centered around a knight's escape from a dungeon.

Fun Facts
- The game was released on the two-year anniversary (April 24th, 2006) of Thy Dungeonman II, released April 24, 2004.
- On mistyping, the words "I don't understand the things you say. I can't understand a single word." is attributed to They Might Be Giants' song Fingertips.
- The falling man after you grasp the flask is a reference to Myst
- If you try to pick up the log in the woods west of the crossroads, it says "Painful memories of finishing last in the World's Strongest Dungeonman contest are dredged up." This could be a reference to The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest.
- For some reason, if you type "GO PEE" the game treats it as "EAST" or "GO EAST".
- The screen shown when you get the flask for the first time is a reference to the opening sequence of Myst (the image in question also being featured on Myst's original box art).
Goofs
- For some reason, if you type "Go In Log" at the creepy woods entrance screen, it will take you right to the dungeon.
