Trivia
- You can hear the hum in the background when Strong Bad talks, 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.
- 'Horse woman' is probably referring to certain people on the Internet who sometimes claim to be part humans.
- 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.
