This was a great sequel. 'Nuff said. -

I don't know where this would go, but there is a game reference in this game. In a few places, it refers to a type of money called a gilderupee. This seems to be a combination of gil, the money from Final Fantasy, and rupee, the money from The Legend of Zelda. --

Rupees are the currency in India, and do not originate in
The Legend of Zelda. Guilders are the currency of the Netherlands. 'Gilder' is an old English variation on the same word.
Final Fantasy might use yet another variation on the word, but it, too, deserves no credit for being referenced. Although the Dutch guilder is, in fact, a silver coin, the base of the word, 'gild,' means to cover something with a thin layer of gold. This concludes my prattle. -

I know about the real currency. But it most likely is a reference to the games. It makes sense that a game done in the style of an old RPG would reference very famous old RPGs, not just some random currencies. --

- Actually, those old RPGs (as you call them), commonly know as text-based adventures, were around before any of the "very famous old RPGs" you reference, Dark Grapefruit. The first [Final Fantasy] came out in Japan in 1987. [The Legend of Zelda] came out in Japan in 1985. [Zork], one of the first of the text-based adventure games, came out in 1980. My favorite of the genre [Adventure/Colossal Cave], came out in 1975. -- Tom
I noticed that when you play the game, that the background is the same as Strong Bad's old computer! It's also
the same on Thy Dungeonman 1. It's just kinda harder to see though.
