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:
“There in the twilight cold and gray,
Lifeless, but beautiful, he lay,
And from the sky, serene and far,
A voice fell, like a falling star,
Excelsior!”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (18091882)
“Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most mens reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of the rat race is not yet final.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
