it wont extract.. says problem with the file. :S

Stroggy 11-12-2004 09:14 AM

A nice game, but the ending kind of ruins it :(

hanging 11-12-2004 09:17 AM

if you go to rtsoft's web site.. you can download extra mission packs etc...

so that should quell the pain for ya :D

Stroggy 11-12-2004 09:19 AM

I tried those, they weren't really all that much fun to tell you the truth

I downloaded and extracted it properly.... perhaps your download ended prematurely.
I use PowerArchiver by the way.

Try to make your own adventure. There is a manual for this.

Arliss 11-12-2004 03:00 PM

Is Dink Smallwood some sort of Phallak pun? :blink:

wormpaul 11-12-2004 04:33 PM

what is Pallak Pun??

But to all: LOVING IT>>was really waiting for this game :ok:

aaberg 12-12-2004 09:53 AM

Isn't this somekind of remake. I'm sure I have played an older game, that was exactly similar, except for the graphics. I can't find anything about it in the review or the official webpage.? :(

Anyways, it's a great game! :ok:

Yamcha 12-12-2004 10:37 AM

Actualy some years ago i bought a BG PC magazine with milenium edition - 100 full games. Nost of them were crap but there I found Dink and I loved it :D

valaros 12-12-2004 11:38 AM

who is the end guy...i haven't played this for years but whos head is it?

Eagle of Fire 12-12-2004 11:46 AM

I think it was an inside joke. When I played that game there was a file with quotes from the developers. Sounds like they got a strong sense of humor.

Stroggy 12-12-2004 12:42 PM

Too bad that little 'inside joke' pulled down the quality of the ending for me

Yamcha 12-12-2004 01:06 PM

Yes <_< The bad guy is really :not_ok: :eeeeeh:

wormpaul 13-12-2004 04:52 PM

I just play it now..

Really great.... :ok:

bohor 13-12-2004 06:21 PM

I played it once a long time ago...
cool game though...

Somebody 13-12-2004 08:58 PM

So, in terms of gameplay, is this game more like Fallout, Morrowind or Baldur's Gate? Just curious. I like the open-ended stuff like Morrowind and Fallout where you actually define your character from the start and the overall quest is somewhat customizable or secondary.

Tuttle 14-12-2004 06:49 AM

Nah, it's more like Zelda -- action/adventure with a hint of RPG.

wormpaul 14-12-2004 08:09 AM

Damm..

I just found a frustrating BUG in the game..

On the moment that i`m in the camp of the trolls and defeat those 4 bastards ill get enough xp to go to level 6 (if i`m right...coulds also be higher)

At that moment the game crashes and it's all gone...really frustrfating...happends already twice to me :not_ok:

Stroggy 14-12-2004 08:21 AM

Yeh I remember being stuck there aswell twice.

Once it crashed and the other time the Big Chief or whatever didn't come out of his tent as he should.

Don't remember how i solved it I'm afraid to say :(

wormpaul 14-12-2004 09:06 AM

Just solved it...

But now i have to fight 2 dragons...really funny game :ok:

fannie 03-01-2005 01:57 PM

I really like this game... :) it's well worth the download... You can make a mod of it with the tools and there's enough of tutorials and other people that can help you. There are a lot of dmod's (dink mods) out there so this game actually never ends... :D

Julianneng 15-01-2005 02:52 AM

How do you change the controls? What are the 1-10 keys?
Thanks
:Brain:

Yamcha 15-01-2005 10:57 AM

U cant change them..or i think so :tomato:
Esc then ctrl for select help or commands I dont remember

wormpaul 15-01-2005 03:47 PM

You doenst need that keys..

just the regular keys are good for the game..

Trust me on this one :angel:

Guest 08-02-2005 11:16 AM

For some reason I always hated this game.

Evilzealot 08-02-2005 11:19 AM

I never really liked this game, because this is really crappy action/adventure rpg. But it was really fun to do that duck quest and kill the duck in front of that old woman.

anlino 20-02-2005 05:28 PM

I think you got a weird sense of humor, EvilZealot... but we're two in it

Nosferrath 27-03-2005 11:55 AM

This game rocks ! :ok:

Swavy 09-05-2005 10:20 AM

Hi there.
I am very stuck, what to do in the duck-town? Got near the statue, killed all ducks, burnt all trees and don't know what to do now...Anyone to help?

Toxik 09-05-2005 02:57 PM

this game is crap there are graphic bugs and the story.. the gameplay (censored)
and AFAIK its not even abandonware. This game sold so bad they made it a freeware

TheChosen 10-05-2005 05:45 AM

This game rocks! Its higly addictive.

You can also download extra adventurers from the home page.

CMA Death Adder 10-05-2005 09:11 AM

I remember this game. 'Twas authored by the same guy who created the BBS door Legend of the Red Dragon. One game made using the Dink Smallwood engine was an Arkanoid clone called Dinkanoid, that was my favorite. Its gameplay was irritating, but just the fact that someone had the knack to turn an action RPG into a ball-and-paddle game just made me :D.

The author, Seth Able, was such a dink himself, that he included CD-audio of music from Final Fantasy VII on the initial run of Dink Smallwood commercial cd-roms. Due to legal issues, this was soon corrected.

Toxik 10-05-2005 01:03 PM

Seth Able.. The master baddie is called Seth.. what a strange coincidence..and what a strange name for a person its like from some B rated horror

Urbanraven 10-05-2005 03:43 PM

This game is great. I have it on this cd thing which has lots of freeware etc...but i have never ever played it trough...

alligator fandangler 22-05-2005 01:06 PM

i remember playing this super game back when it first came out around 98 or something or other off of download.com, filled with humor and i loved the fact that you could piss anyone off or kill anybody :Titan: i recomend it to everyone and if your not satisfied...well, then my names not alligator fandangler
p.s. this is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were removed(rip mitch hedberg)

TheChosen 24-05-2005 07:55 AM

Check this out!

MadMarius 16-06-2005 11:22 AM

Plaied game..fun gameee...loved those things the producers said..
the story is quite nice.except the begigning wich is sadik(My momma dies in a laming hot house!)but it's nice when i get the claysword or what's its name..it has a funnt bug wich is useful:if u get more enemies and make them sit in front of another and they atack..they kill theselfs! :evil:
i diid somethig realy nice in the game(except killing all those gooses)I KILLED THE ONE THAT COULD GIVE ME THE FLAME BOW FOR 25.000 MONEY!!! :Brain: REASON: I HAD ONLY 2000 NAD THOSE WERE GATHERED IN QUITE A TIME...the stupid thing in this:the fire bow can kill the bad gui quite fast...and i killed the one who made it...HiHiHi!!! :w00t:

jimmy7512 06-07-2005 04:02 PM

I was just wondering is this compatible with Windows 98 ?

siv9939 17-07-2005 11:48 PM

It seems fun but for me the controls are insanly sencitive. I can just tap the arrow key and he goes flying halfway across the screen. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

moogle 28-09-2005 05:27 AM

I have that problem too.
The game really isn't that great, in my opinion no way near a foru, its very funny and all, but the fact that your guy goes super fast and that everytime you run into a monster it does X dmg per millisecond the game just turns into a hit, run away, hit, run away, fest.
Its good as freeware, but as a actuall game it stinks.

Guest 25-10-2005 04:45 PM

great game ! :D :D really funny ! maybe too short only.

Wolf Thug 27-12-2005 11:35 AM

That game dosnt feel like an rpg its more like an action game not a great game though i wouldnt recommend it to people who like rpg games

JimmyJ 30-12-2005 09:50 AM

it doesn't feel like an rpg, like an action game he said.

Well, i still found this game to be fun!

WaAn 04-01-2006 09:25 PM

4 all of you who think that the game is too short, check this site
Dink Network
U can get there D-Mods - new adventures with Dink. If need help in installing them, just PM me.
BTW great game! :ok:

SV650S 28-02-2006 11:01 PM

I loved this game, it's the best game I've downloaded from abandonia. It wasn't exactly "immersive" as far as RPG's go, the world was kind of small & there wasn't a whole lot to the game. But the humor had me L'ingOL on several occasions. I didn't think the gameplay was too bad either. If only it was a bigger game with more upgrades/stats & whatnot, it would be perfect. I can't beat the guy at the end though.

K-13 05-04-2006 01:45 PM

This is a great action/rpg freeware game. It has a unique felling and good humor. The main story is very good but a little short. You can download thought many other stories(DMODs as they say them)from net. One of the best freeware games around right now I can say.

Master MC 05-04-2006 02:04 PM

I agree completely. I had a lot of fun with Dink, and DMods is a great invention and it certainly adds new dimensions to the game.

twillight 24-04-2006 12:27 PM

Does anyone could buy the best BOW in the game? It costs soo much I culdn't get enugh money anytime :cry:

Yup, bought it by getting money from the duck island fights. ( Does anyone know about that place? ) I don`t remember how much damage it does, but I remember that you can`t use bow lore with it.

aLf 08-05-2006 10:38 AM

Downloading this game (40% downloaded at this moment)

I heard only good stuf about it, but now I will test it myselfe :)

Printzzu 14-05-2006 09:03 AM

You folks tried killing that familiy relative of Dink that's bothering him in the second town :Titan: ..(don't remember I think it's his uncle or some)...."Oh Dink you killed him...he wasn't such an evil man you know". But I agree it's not really quite RPG like you don't have many choices in the game...except the ones for fun like killing people you don't have to but that doesn't influence the game at all......WHY CAN'T I KILL EVERYONE??? :ranting: every guy I guess and remain the only man in the world.. :whistle: I only tried a MOD about some island with robots but....you can feel that it's a game made just for fun not really finished in every part of it....which cand make it even more fun to play...it's not a COMMERCIAL :not_ok: game

"The initial run of Dink Smallwood did indeed include CD-audio music that wasn't properly licensed. I believe his sister-in-law (or maybe just a sister) had told him that she owned the copyright for several songs, or there was a miscommunication stating such, and Seth included those on the disc, and later had to retract them because they belonged to someone else. I'm pretty sure it wasn't anything related to FFVII, though."

From the "whatsnew.txt":
Major changes in V1.03:

* Removed all references to Shaurrie Whyte's music, turns out she did not
own the copyright to the songs she 'composed', the REAL copyright holders
are allowing us to fix it by issuing this patch, which replaces all of
her songs. (4)

Also, they recently released v1.08 which fixes a few bugs and adds a bunch of changes to the engine.

Just don't get too close to him. The gameplay is very much hit-and-run. Back out of the way when he swings his tail, and aim at his head.

Foo 02-02-2008 02:11 AM

*gasp*

I used to play this game as a kid... I was browsing rpgs just now and the name sounded very very slightly familiar... I clicked, and the screenshot with the sheep brought it all back...

Excellent times. *downloads*

Adamg 03-02-2008 07:09 AM

Dink Smallwood, yeah, that's fairly old. It must've been released 7 or 8 years ago, possibly more. I have some pretty fond memories of that game. It's definately unique in it's humor. :amused:

Ars 22-02-2009 10:42 AM

I thought that this game was pretty much crap, back then when it was released too. Or after it was released as freeware a year or 2 after the original release.

It's just hit-n-run combat with a boring generic story, the humour's not that funny either, I wouldn't play this game thorugh just to hear a couple of semi-funny things.

El Quia 25-02-2009 01:25 PM

Yeah, the game maybe was a little crappy, but I liked it nonetheless. It has a certain charm that gives the playing experience a definitely fun factor :)

BranjoHello 29-05-2009 05:32 PM

The game is still crappy. Control system is awful and "humor" is like...bizare.

El Quia 29-05-2009 07:10 PM

Yeah, and they couldn't give it a proper ending... but I had fun playing it...

captainjackass 26-06-2009 07:13 AM

This game got me through many long hours of work. Wish I hadn't spent so much time trying to be better when the ending was cut short with no major climax. -fin- that's basically what it did. regardless i had fun until it was over

Pietroschek 03-11-2009 07:28 PM

Dink Mod'a'lot
 
There are really many MODs for this game.

DeadSomething 05-06-2010 06:18 PM

There is a new version from RTsoft designed to work on fast computers.

http://rtsoft.com/dink/

There is also another version that works on the PSP, Linux and Windows from www.freedink.org which is also worth checking out.

I made an expansion mod once and I called the main character Richard...
