So - my reply in the You Know You've Played Sierra Games thread - and spawned an idea.

Not sure if this will go as well, as the other games...

But I thought it might be fun. Assign an "Inventory Item" (does not have to be from an existing inventory item from a game; can be anything - even items you see around your house, for example) to a Sierra game. The person replies as to how it's used. Then leaves an inventory item and a game for their idea to be used in.

So for example, if I said:

Moisturizer, Police Quest

Someone might reply with:

Sonny Bonds purchases Moisturizer for Marie as a gift.

Pencil, King's Quest.

So the next person would need to mention how a pencil is used in King's Quest.

I figure you can leave it broad (so if someone just says King's Quest, that means any King's Quest game; but if someone had said King's Quest II, you would need to explain how it's used in King's Quest II).

So that said:


Moisturizer, Police Quest

You use the moisturiser on your skin, Sonny. Ahh. Police work is rough and hard on your skin.

Now I have a naughty idea...

Condom, Leisure Suit Larry 1

Larry fills the condom with water and throws it at a bikini-clad model. "At least this will get her to notice me," he thinks.

Antimatter, Space Quest

Well, I certainly didn't expect that. Yes, she will certainly notice him, but not for the right reasons.

Roger takes the anti-matter and mixes it with the matter to create ... nothing, actually.

Open glass of whiskey, Leisure Suit Larry 1

Larry drinks the whiskey, and uses the glass on the door that requires the password - to listen to what the pimp is watching on TV - before knocking.

Watch, Space Quest III

> Watch watch

It displays the time, Roger.

> Bang watch on ground

Now you've done it! Lots of tiny little parts spill out everywhere, which you'll never find. Nice job, Roger!

> Fix watch

It's too broken to be fixed.

> Tell about watch

It is NOT a stupid timepiece!
=============================
Apple, Leisure Suit Larry 1

Hah! You keep giving items that are actually in the games you're listing. You know you can name any random item, that doesn't have to be in the game you're saying to use it in, right?
Like you could say "Time Machine, Leisure Suit Larry 1" for example. Just so it's clear.

Anyway -

Larry uses the Apple to get the worm from it - which he puts in his open whiskey - grossing out the taxi driver and preventing him from taking Larry's drink!

Time Machine, Leisure Suit Larry II

Oh! I thought the item had to be from the game.

Leisure Suit Larry uses the time machine to go back to the end of LSL1 and this time avoid the mistakes he made with Eve. Thus, everything is hunky-dory and Larry never meets Kalalau, Passionate Patti, or any other ladies, and becomes a humdrum, everyday, boring old Joe.
========================
Nuclear Missile, Quest for Glory 1

(Well, you did say any old item...)

The hero dismantles the Nuclear Missile. Inside, he finds a copy of the Thermonuclear Blast spell.

Fuzzy Dice, Gabriel Knight

Gabriel Knight tries to attach the fuzzy dice to his motorcycle before he realises they won't stay on. (No dice, Gabe).

Abrams Tank, King's Quest 1

Abrams Tank, King's Quest 1

King Graham uses the Abram's Tank to get past the troll on the bridge, as an alternate way of passing it without the goat (but less points!)

Gabriel Knight II, iPhone

Instead of researching facts in books, Grace uses her iPhone to look everything up. The result? Since Google is only right 50% of the time, the entire werewolf thing goes haywire, so Gabriel becomes a child of ze night, a vaaampire! And Grace becomes his undead bride! Moo-ha-ha-ha-ha!

A terminator all for Roger -- in Space Quest I

Roger reprograms the terminator to do his janitorial work, which is why he was napping in the utility closet during the attack on the Arcada. The terminator had been sent from the future, changing Roger's destiny and completing the predestination paradox.

A bottle of Visine, Manhunter

I'd never played Manhunter, so I don't know how that would work. I think I'll leave that one for Tawm. Sorry

Just google the game - get a general idea - and make something up with what's been laid out.

The Manhunter uses the bottle of Visine on the Orb he reports to - to get the red out!

Goldfish, Gabriel Knight III
