Twilight Heroes is a browser-based, multiplayer role playing game designed and operated by Quirkz Media and released in October 2007. Players take on the role of superheroes as they fight monsters and villains in turn-based combat, collect items and chips (the game's currency), and complete quests. The game's setting features surreal humor, parody, references to popular culture, and word play, most notably the spoonerism. Twilight Heroes is free-to-play, but offers incentives for donations.
Famous quotes containing the words twilight and/or heroes:
“Bid a strong ghost stand at the head
That my Michael may sleep sound,
Nor cry, not turn in the bed
Till his morning meal come round;
And may departing twilight keep
All dread afar till morning’s back....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“There have been heroes for whom this world seemed expressly prepared, as if creation had at last succeeded; whose daily life was the stuff of which our dreams are made, and whose presence enhanced the beauty and ampleness of Nature herself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
