About
'Ben There, Dan That!' is a freeware comedy adventure game by Zombie Cow Studios, written by and somewhat-narcissistically starring the eponymous Dan and Ben, a couple of layabout geeks who always seem to find themselves knee-deep in high-adventure.
Through an improbable series of events, our heroes find themselves aboard an alien spaceship, and must puzzle their way through multiple madcap dimensions to make their way home.
�Ben There, Dan That!� is bursting with bold cartoon graphics, reams of laugh-out-loud dialogue, and colourful characters...

AGS Panel Rating
An amusing first offering from Dan Marshall and Ben Ward that features colorful, low-detail graphics reminiscent of comic book art. The only real drawback to the game would be that it suffers from the 'many rooms, few interactions/strange puzzle solutions' issue that many new authors fall into, though this should not deter you from playing and enjoying this game!

Never let it be said that we don't support commercial AGS game authors. As Zombie Cow release the sequel Time Gentlemen, Please, the first game is worth looking at if you haven't already. Witty, British, and most of all fun, Ben Thre, Dan That is quite a joy to play. Amazingly, it didn't win any AGS awards…

hey, broken link! wrong thing, 'cause it must be nice game
very good and entertaining, I'd give it 5/5
Best AGS games ever. I had to buy TGP on Steam after playing BTDT. The quality of both of these games is unreal!
BRILLIANT game. A joy and a laugh from start to finish. Funny writing, quirky characters (both main and minor) and the cartoonish style didn't (as so often happens) make the puzzles totally illogical. They were challenging without being fustrating, which is always what you need. I heartily also recommend the sequel which is actually even better than the first one.
If any more are ever made in the "Ben and Dan" series, I will be among the first to download them.
This was a frickin' excellent game! Absolutely hilarious and the whole thing was really polished. Highly recommended, and the sequel looks even better.
