In the end, it can become a bit annoying but part of the challenge is to discover what the winning insults are. The thing is, you need to know what responses will defeat your opponent and this can only be learned by picking up hints, tips and clues throughout the game. Probably the most unique aspect of the game are the duels which take the form of insulting verbal exchanges between you and your opponent.

It's the treasure hunting aspect of the game that's the most exciting part because you never know what you're going to find hidden under a tree, a rock or in a hut. The game is entirely keyboard based as you have to guide Guy around using the arrow keys and using keys such as "L" and "E" to examine objects.

It takes the format of a point-and-click adventure where dialog takes place with different characters which ultimately help guide you to solve the mystery. It's an appropriately unique plot for what is a rather special game.
