Ben There, Dan That !

‘Ben There, Dan That!’ is a knockabout point-and-click comedy game, in the vein of the old classic Lucasarts adventures like ‘Guybrush Threepwood’s The Monkey Islands’ or ‘Sam and Max, Freelance Policemen’.

Written by and somewhat-narcissistically starring heroes Dan Marshall and Ben Ward, it’s bursting with bold cartoon graphics, laugh-out-loud dialogue, colourful characters, some frames of animation and nearly 100 different sound effects!

There’s no need for hand-eye coordination or split-second reflexes here; it’s a fun game that anyone can play as long as they don’t mind a few naughty words here and there and the odd dabble of mild racism.
