Imagine a cross between such classics as Zelda, Diablo, and Monkey Island (with a tiny dash of South Park) and you'll have a good idea of what to expect from this game.

It is freeware, so you can download the whole game for free. If that weren't enough, some people have made new adventures for the game, called D-Mods. There are tools to create your own adventure, as well as other user-created tools. You can find them at the Dink Network.

Dirk Dashing is the number one operative in the top-secret organization called G.O.O.D. (Government Operatives On Duty), whose mission is to protect the world from terrorists and power-mad megalomaniacs. His missions take him to many exotic locales, where he must face dangerous enemies, avoid traps, and solve baffling puzzles in order to save the day!

Your mission takes you to the Bavarian Alps of Southern Germany, where you will explore thirty spectacular, hand-painted levels in search of the stolen diamonds. Along the way, you will collect stolen loot and battle a horde of E.V.I.L. agents who are also hunting for the diamonds.

Dirk Dashing features:
• No blood, no gore, no fist-fights - Dirk throws knockout gas grenades and uses other non-lethal means to defeat his enemies
• 30 huge levels to explore, including 3 secret levels - each level is packed with secret areas and hidden treasures
• Cool spy gadgets that help you complete your mission
• A wide variety of hand-drawn, animated characters
• Spectacular hand-painted graphics, done with acrylic paints and watercolors
• Parallax scrolling with up to 16 graphic layers, for an exciting 3D look
