The Dink Network

Only just managed to catch up with this. Some awesome reading here. I can also totally understand your sentiment about Stone of Balance, I personally never finished it, though I'm thinking of playing it again sometime. I especially had this feeling of 'a great one-time experience' with Pilgrim's Quest. When I played it I had an absolute blast, but when I tried it again a couple of years later I quit in frustration half-way. I just cannot enjoy it twice. Stone of Balance is actually better in this respect, I've played through the sandy part at least twice and never found it boring.

Also I love 'Revenge of the Ducks'. Perhaps the first installment does kind of suck objectively, but I love the entire atmosphere of this series. It also is an actually finished trilogy where each part is better than the previous, a rare thing indeed. Maybe it is my rose-tinted glasses that make me say this though... After many years of Dinking your thoughts about DMODs last played a decade ago can be a little bit misleading.
