About
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.

i got it running by copying over winsetup.exe from:
'Reality-on-the-Norm: Dead Man's Political Party'
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 :)
sometimes u can use another winsetup.exe from a different game ,but u have to rename the game.exe to same as where the winsetup.exe came from.
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.

As I've said before and will say again. Excellent game.
Great great game, Love the humor. Challenging and funny, just what i like to see in games. And the fact that Herman finally gets the rep he deserves is good too!
