About this game
A spin-off of a very well-known pirate game, NoH is about a hermit who receives a message in a bottle, announcing his inheritance of his deceased grandpa's mansion. Upon arrival, however, he discovers the mansion has already been claimed and remodeled as "The Crippled Badger Motel." Now, it is Herman's quest to claim back his family's mansion and prove himself as the man he is.The download is split into two files, the game itself (as the download link) and an optional talkie version (as the mirror link), so click on both if you've got the bandwidth. in any case the talkie version does not replace the game download.
Note that the games are compressed using ACE, so you'll need WinAce to extract them.

rename hermit.exe to DMP~1.P.exe and run the winsetup.exe.
u will see options to set sound and resolution.
though,i haven't got the sound,yet :)
also there is a some files on this site that can help with running older ags games .
or try it in dosbox.
To be honest,i've been trying to run it and i get a distorted game screen ,so i haven't had any luck yet.
I tried using the ddraw(wine)dlls and also the dxwind.exe that another user said might help with older ags games.
I want to translate your game in french.
If you agree, send me an email to this address:

and I contact you. Thank you. :)
Night Of The Hermit's ending is for me SO BAD it eclipses any redeeming qualities the game might have.
with the error:
There was a problem initializing graphics mode 320x200
(Problem: 'Unable to find a suitable graphics driver')
when I try to start the game.
This seems fixable through Setup, but this game doesn't seem to have setup...
With this error when I try to run it:
There was a problem initializing graphics mode 320x200
(Problem: 'Unable to find a suitable graphics driver')
plus there's no setup....
The only irritating thing about this game is that the room transitions took a tremendously long time. But maybe others did not face this problem.
unhandled_event is there for a reason.

(Problem: 'Unable to find a suitable graphics driver')
I had a similar problem with 6DA but I fixed that by switching the resolution from 320x200 to 640x480 in the setup. This game doesn't seem to have setup...
*shrug*
Can anyone lend a hand?
