So just for fun, and because I need to keep my internet connection active or my modem closes it, I decided to google the four words deadly rooms of death, not in quotes. It came back with about 150k hits. Then I put them in quotes, and it came back with about 1000, which is a much more reasonable number. However, my prodding did reveal some websites that still link to the Webfoot version of the game: this one for instance (webmeister, please remove the link once you've recorded it if you don't want people grabbing Webfoot).

Also linking to the webfoot version of DROD: mobygames.com, transgaming.com (a link to the webfoot website), igames.co.il (I think the site is iranian, I certainly can't read it), electric-games.com, newgames.ru (some of these links are to the shareware version, of all things), free-game-downloads.mosw.com (has it listed as abandonware), and then I stopped looking.

Along my travels, I came upon three webpages with cheat codes for DROD. Their contents, which had been submitted by outside people, were... ready?... our monster hints quotes, summarized in to one page. I just found this very amusing.

You didn't follow that link did you. If you did it goes to underdogs and the only thing you will find there is a link back to drod.net.

It's Israeli; I took the liberty of writing them with the updated link (given that Erik and the Caravel team aren't able to do so, the contact form being in Hebrew).
