Oh, that is good. I'm only up to 100, but I've cracked up laughing at some bits... very funny link .

This is excellent!

I may have missed some, but what about the rule stating the the Hero must have a hazy past and loose his memory entirely?

Your characters must always keep both feet on the ground and will be unable to climb over low rock ledges, railings, chairs, cats, slightly differently-colored ground, or any other trivial objects which may happen to be in their way. Note that this condition will not prevent your characters from jumping from railroad car to railroad car later in the game.

This is so annoyingly true.

The capital of the evil empire is always divided into two sections: a lower city slum filled with slaves and supporters of the rebellion, and an upper city filled with loyal fanatics and corrupt aristocrats.

KotOR, anyone?

Quote:

Trade of technology will not exist. One place in the world will have all the techno-gadgets while all the others will be harvesting dirt.

The wookies defeating the empire! Oh my!

Looking down the rest of this list, I can name several gaes for each, and one already mentioned game in this post for many, many of them.

I was about to quote mine, when I realised you already had it in your sig, that kingdoms are good, empires are evil.

Also, I love it how the 3 strange people next to the final dungeon, who no could ever go meet, have the best items... and of course, you have to pay a lot for them, even though they have no use for money .

Oh, excellent website.

Though I'd add to the Shortcut one that they do exist but you have to go 50 miles forward so you find the shortcut that takes a fraction of the time to get back to your previous position.

LMAO!!!


This is good link!
And it can be even extended to most PC RPGs also

[Luis Antonio]

Very good list, very long too. Got me smiling

[Fenix]

That was good, infact it deserves some lollerskates!

[TonyMontana1638]

Very nice link, though I admit it's causing me a bit of conflict considering there are a few I want in my sig, but it seems everyone else has done that...

"Lead Follow Or Get Out Of The Way"
