The Chapman brothers (no relation) over at H*R have released Peasant's Quest, an adventure game in the vein of the old Sierra "*'s Quest" games (EGA-era graphics, PC speaker sounds and all). This isn't the trailer that they did a few weeks ago... this is the real deal, a fully functional, playable game that's a spot on pastiche as well as being an entertaining game in its own right. It's done entirely in Flash, an impressive technical achievement (it even has a save/load feature).
I'm continually amazed by the volume and quality of the stuff on homestarrunner.com, and the fact that they put it on the web for free without a banner ad in sight and still make a profit through merchandise sales. A real Internet success story.
(current Peasant's Quest score: 78/150)
How did you get so far in Peasant Quest? I only got 1/150...I couldn't figure out what to do after that.
Fairy, I don't know what kind of hint I should give you so I'll just link to a walkthrough :) http://www.westsideservers.com/peasant.htm is a walkthrough to get the full 150 points (I didn't use it, but didn't get maximum points either).
