So way back in the ancient past (the 90s) I played an indie RPG game set in a kind of tongue-in-cheek fantasy world. It was all based on some kind of customisable platform, so I remember playing the first game, and then a major extension using the same platform by a different game designer.

Things I remember are:
- Possessed chickens
- King Midas, who'd turned everything to gold
- A level where some crazy fundamentalist religious types had taken over from the Knights in White Satin. A couple of gay druids enlisted you to stop them. There was some magic shard which you needed to retrieve to complete the level, but it turned out to be inside a innocent child, who you had to kill to retrieve the shard, or else find some alternate, complex way to complete the level, which I never found.
- A group of orc miners who complained about the way orcs are portrayed, and sang a song about it.
- A level which could only be completed by having sex with ten giantesses without any rest, and there were monstrous walking boobs and other such creatures trying to kill you.

You could talk to and fight most things, so it had that kind of open-ended feel. The viewpoint was kind of isometric, like Baldur's Gate. I think it was all free / amateur - I just downloaded from a website.

I always thought the story and writing was amazing - very funny but also atmospheric - much better than most paid-for games, and the actual gameplay wasn't bad either. Anyway I've felt guilty ever since for not ever bothering to write some fan mail to the creators, since that was all I think they did it for. I'm also just curious as to what happened to the geniuses who created those games.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?!

I don't know what it is but safe to say, IT MUST BE THE GREATEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

and niczap, welcome to GOG. Don't be a stranger. :D

The first thing I thought of was Kingdom O' Magic, but I'm fairly certain that's not it after reading your description.

Wow, that sounds crazy, and I want to play it now. XD

Was this like an early RPG Maker game?

Could it possibly have been this mod for Dink Smallwood?

I saw boobies in the title, so now I'm here.

Nope, it sounds a bit like you were using experimental drugs in your youth :o)

However I would be interested to find out what it is too now.

Dink Smallwood was the first thing I thought of as well. That game had a lot of zany mods!

The only one I remember is the pinball mod.
But I wouldn't call DS incredibly obscure, I know I mention it on these forums at least once every six months or so ;)

It's not the one I linked to like five posts up?

Oops, yes that's the one! All mysteries have now been solved. Now I just feel bad about the spoilers.

I'm glad it's not actually incredibly obscure and has got some of the recognition it deserves, I just thought it must be because my attempts at googling never yielded any fruit.

Dink Smallwood is available for free:

I've had this in my "free games to download when I run out of serious stuff to play in the far and foggy future" bookmarks for a while already with no incentive to download it but your amusing description moved the game up on my priority list ever so slightly :)

After reading the original post, I feel it is my destiny to play this game.

It's been in my backlog for a while, too, and because of this thread I actually downloaded it and messed around with that mod for a little bit yesterday. It's just as crazy as it sounds. :o
