Closed STUFF

Earthbound

Dungeonman might be a reference to Brick Road from "Earthbound," who was attempting to attain the title of "Dungeonman" throughout the course of the game.

• Decline Why, you ask? Let me explain the Dungeonman of Earthbound for a minute. The man attempts to MAKE dungeons, and in the end BECOMES a dungeon - which is not the same as Thy Dungeonman, who merely EXPLORES dungeons. And with no other connection, I can't let this one sit without a vote. --Jay 04:17, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• (drops potato sacks) NO, IT'S NOT. Decline Dasrik 10:57, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

IMPOSSIBLE??

I just can't seem to get ahead in this game! Is it meant to be unbeatable? -Kinsey

No, it's not. Exactly what are you having trouble with? --Jay (Gobble) 16:42, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

remember that the stupidist answer is probably the right one in this game

Was Made After

The "get dagger" command is probably from the unreleased Strong Bad email E-mail Birds on the strongbad_email.exe DVD, in which Strong Bad plays a text adventure and tries to get a dagger but fails. However, there is no way to confirm this at present, as we don't know if "E-mail Birds" was created before or after "video games".

Yes there is. Video Games was released on the Compy 386. E-mail Birds was on the Tandy 400. -Swimma Dan.

Jimberjam

Does anyone happen to know what a jimberjam is? Ever since the word was coined, I have used it mindlessly without knowing its true definition.

According to dictionary.com, the word has no definition. Perhaps the Chaps made it up? --DorianGray

http://www.google.com/search?q=define:jimberjam is empty as well. Probably coined. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  07:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Maybe they based it on this word [1] ;-) Loafing 07:51, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

It's a one piece pajama suit, they had button up flaps in the bottom for doing your business. So says I.121.74.252.47 05:31, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

What? (Weird items)

Are these even true?

"Bauble" is a common inside joke in text adventures relating to Zork I, in which someone would wind the clockwork canary, resulting in the creation of a "bauble." - Baubles are not simply a Zork item...

The line "Apparently, this was a load-bearing FLASK" may be a reference to the large amount of RPGs where, when you defeat a boss or get an item, the dungeon would begin to collapse for no apparent reason, and you would have to escape. - There's no reason for this to be there that I can see. It's not really related.

They seem very sketchy to me. → ☮y P … "Biscuitheads!" … 20:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

As for the second one, I think it's just a reference to load-bearing... I think they're called beams... the pieces of wood that hold houses up. Like in slumber party. That's what load-bearing bosses themselves are named after. 99.252.247.77 22:21, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Beatable?

Is this game actually beatable? I would like to know. ^_^ The Pony man 18:29, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I beat it once. Go South, get the Trinket, go North, go Dennis, then Give Trinket. Bad Bad Guy 19:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Rolling R

(Position the tongue for an "L" but vocalize an "R".)

Man, that's gotta be the most difficult way one can try to make a rolling R sound. --62.51.153.52 23:12, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

This reply is years late, but whatever. The intention is not to try and make a rolling R sound. If this instruction had something to do with Spanglish it might be, but it has to do with Engrish. OptimisticFool 04:53, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Ye flask goof

Hey guys I found a goof. If you try to type "Get Yon Flask", the game won't recognize it. You would have to type "Get Yon Ye Flask".

I get the same response from "Get yon flask" as I get for anything else with the words "get" and "flask".--.Johnny Jupiter! ^talk _cont 00:05, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Currently down

The game is currently down. StarFox 20:15, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Opens fine for me. --Jay (Gobble) 20:23, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Name

I appear to be the first one to notice this: could Thy Dungeonman's name have been inspired by what Strong Bad says in homestar hair? "Oh, my hit points are inexcusable in this dungeon, man!" RickTommy (edits) 05:36, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

The Sneak

The rat on the box art looks exactly like The Sneak.
