It can't possibly be as good as "Thy Dungeonman".

I was just playing that (apparently the same people who made all those games are on board with this one) but not having much MUD experience, i was unsure of what commands, or syntax really, i needed to type to do various things. I got out of the cell, and was stuck looking at the rat, not knowing what to do or how to type what i wanted to do that was valid..

That was the joke.  I think you missed it.

oh, yeah...k.   :uhrr:

I still want to get past the rat. I figured it was just my inexperience with MUDs that was my problem.

Games where you have to guess what the parser wants are stupid.

Was that the one with the corn?  and something about a bar?  I know there was one where you could get into town and do some things, been so long tho.

Go play Peasant Quest instead.  Much better satire.

Thy Dungeonman was a satire of text adventure games that arose out of a one-off joke in one of the Strongband emails.  It was deliberately nonsensical and slightly obtuse.  And brilliant.

The text adventure section of Sam and Max was also fairly brilliant for similar reasons.  One of the puzzles involved picking up a convenience store IIRC.
