I have no idea which game that was though, but things like that allways got me very irritated...

How about lint? Oh no, that wouldn't be considered useful would it? Hmmm... A lot of games had worms in them. Or mechanical animal puppets(TLJ, Full Throttle, KQ7, I'm sure there are more...)

Yes Full Throttle have mechanical rabbits when you want to go the vultures lair.One of my favorite adventures.But Ben went into trouble with that...Maybe it was a bad inventory item for him.I think if he had the talisman the vultures will deffinetily accept him or maybe they will afraid of him...?
Or Ben he could use the tape recorder in the Ripburger speech at the end but I will advice to him not to use the Klingmann tape.

Well actually, if you were playing the old Infocom Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy text adventure, the lint would come in very useful indeed. Never know what you're going to need in this genre :-)

| Deleted User | For me it's the 'notebook' that magically contains/absorbs the salient points I need to know.
I get too excited when I'm playing and my own scribbled notes tend not to make sense when I re-read them
(bother - I'll have to start Darkfall from the beginning now...
