D.R.O.D, or Deadly Rooms Of Death- An Addicting game...FOR FREE! - VGF

This is the answer to your prayers if you want an addicting, challenging puzzle game... or is it a board game? Or an action game? Or an RPG? The world may never know.

Anyway, it's a top-down 2-D adventure of epic proportions. You control some dude named Beethro, who has to kill allllllllll these little (big?) bad guys in a dungeon for a king so he can get a ton of money.
You can move in eight directions and you have a sword that you strategically use to beat the baddies. Each type of baddie has a different level of smartness. It's a game of strategy, and this game, unlike so many others, makes strategy FUN!

The default dungeon is very hard, making the level editor (Yes, level editor!) a blessing. You can even download other dungeons that people make from drod.net.

Screens? Sure. But they just don't do the game justice.

That's Beethro next to the blood splatter. The yellow dude with the sword.

Ooh! Look at the pretty light.

Anywho, go to DROD.net and go to downloads. Download DROD: Architect's Edition. (Be sure to get DROD: Architect's Edition or you will not get the level editor, which adds TONS of replayability.) It's a hefty download (About an hour on dial-up) so be ready. It's well worth it, though.

Oh, and one more thing. If you have a spyware blocker, DROD might pop up. Why? Some DLL file in there registers as spyware, even though it's a normal DLL file except that it's commonly abused by hackers.

And also, it might ask for ZLIB1.DLL (yes, another DLL...) when you try to load it, so just do a search for it. You should be able to find it and download it. Then just unzip it into the game directory.

Wow, that looks pretty decent

Could you post a link to the ZLIB1.dll download? Can't find it. And can you also tell me where to put it?

Where is the idiot running to? Why to Nintendo Mania of course. Just follow him for the time of your life.

Download it here. It's .zip. Unzip it into the game directory and also put it in the folderwhere DLLs are put. Don't know exactly where. I think some where in C:/Windows Or C:/Windows/System. I put it into the game drectory only, though, and it worked fine.

The link doesn't work.

^Try here. Scroll down until you see a link that says "Zlib 1.2.1", then click on it to download the DLL.
