bump 2: the revenge
This seems like the sort of thing I would have played if I'd known about it, but it's not I Have 1 Day (which is a lot more recent than I thought) and I'm wondering if maybe it's no longer playable on modern browsers. Have you tried, I don't know, jayisgames.com? It seems like they play everything like this.
I haven't looked through their whole collection yet, but I plan to.

I found it. It is Entering Town: Arrival of the Villain
I had to go through the wayback machine, as the current version of the page that hosted the game wouldn't load.

Strangely, my flash game downloader claims the .swf file itself was hosted at imageshack.us of all places.
@TheKeyToTime Would you be willing to make a trope page for it?

This has been gnawing at me for years. I remember a point-and-click flash game, probably from Armor Games or Miniclip that I played around 2003. I don't remember the title, and I haven't been able to find it. The tagline was "The game where it's good to be bad", which only seems to bring up Injustice stuff nowadays. You played a Dark Wizard, dressed in fairly generic T-Shirt and pants, trying to take over the world, starting with some medieval village. You had the standard three interaction options (eyes to examine things, hands to touch things, and mouth to talk to things).
I played this so much back then, that I could practically write a tutorial from memory. 1) Pull a blue plant right out of the ground to give to a witch 2) Talk to the "village idiot" about magic, and he is worried that you will turn him into a frog. 3) Gather ingredients for a "familiar spell", including some sort of spellbook, to gain an animal ally 4) You now have a cat that will help you. 5) Send your new cat into the dragon's lair, as the dragon will kill you otherwise. 6) Once the cat has explained everything, the dragon will let you inside. 7) The dragon wants a princess, as all dragon's do. 8) Thankfully, the local kingdom leaves the princess unguarded 9) If you try to just use your hands, the princess will manage to pull away from your grip, as you aren't very strong. 10) You have to use the dagger to threaten her. 11) And so, you have delivered the princess to the dragon. 11.5) At this point, you can use your hand option on the chained-up princess, and the game states "You tickle-torture the princess. How cruel!" 12) You return to the town to kill the town hero 13) You try to send your cat through the hero's window, but the hero shows up with a lance. 14) You throw your cat at the hero, who claws at him and distracts him 15) You bash the hero with your shovel (I think you used the shovel for this purpose earlier in the game as well) 16) YOU WIN! I also remember there being several humorous descriptions for using the different items where they didn't belong and from using the hand, eye, and mouth tool in the incorrect situations. Somehow, I have vivid, detailed memories of this game, despite not being able to remember the title or the main character's name
