Size Five Games Digitally Enhances Ben There, Dan That: Special Edition

“We’ve George Lucased it right up”, developer proudly exclaims.

Gotta love those Size Five guys as they sure do have a great sense of humor. In case you were wondering what this is all about, Size Five Games (aka Zombie Cow) has released an updated version of their cult classic point and click adventure game: Ben There, Dan That. A game that had this writer “rofling” more times than I’d like to admit…

This new version simply takes that old tired game and puts a fresh coat of shiny, shiny paint all over it:

FEATURES:

  • New swishy graphical enhancements throughout! Ben There, Dan That! is now exponentially more gorgeous and sexy to look at.
  • A stunning jazzy Sam and Max: Hit the Road homage-y soundtrack! Music that will caress your ears and grate infuriatingly as you fail to solve a puzzle.
  • More sound effects!
  • Some better signposting for the puzzles people didn’t get, or the objects they couldn’t see!
  • The more-readable font from Time Gentlemen, Please!, enhancing brand synergy across the series.
  • Fixes some boring Windows 7 issue a few people were having.

In addition to some fixes the guys also have created a bunch of bonus content for buyers:

SPECIAL BONUS MATERIAL:

  • EXCLUSIVE: A special 16-page eBook candidly telling the whole story of the game’s creation for the first time; “Lowering the Tone”
  • EXCLUSIVE: An extra special never-before-seen treat: a non-interactive video storybook presentation lifted from Dan and Bens’ diary entries, explaining the backstory as to exactly how Dan wound up dead in a jungle tied to a length of twine in the first place. Hear Dan and Ben speak for the first time in this fully voiced, and expertly illustrated six-and-a-half minute extravaganza.
  • EXCLUSIVE: All the ‘cut’ music that didn’t make it into the final game. Hear unloved and unused renditions of your favourite Ben There, Dan That! ditties.
  • EXCLUSIVE: Posters to print out and hang over your living room window, or to slap on your desktop.
  • EXCLUSIVE: Never-before-heard audio recording of Ben stomping around his flat cheering his own name, for the ending sequence. Truly there has never been a more honest depiction of the lengths indie developers have to go to for their art.
  • EXCLUSIVE: Dan and Ben ringtones – give your phone the Dan and Ben once-over with these exclusive musical ditties.

All of this can be had for at least $3.25, but Size Five certainly wouldn’t say no to a little extra. I know, I know the old version was free, but with this version you get all sorts of extra goodies!
