Line 47:
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: Both PC versions and the Amiga disk version, and all the subsequent ScummVM ports of them, are stable. But the CD32 version is riddled with problems... the code system used to save the game wasn't tested, and some codes will freeze the game as they fail to load certain key files the game needs to run. Not to mention the way the music ducks in and out unevenly on the volume slider, how the speech takes ages to load due to the slow CD drive and poor use of buffering or that sometimes cuts half the music while it plays, and several other things. Which is a shame, as it could have been the best version if more time had been spent fixing the flaws.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: About half the cast, but especially Rob. He gets an uneasy feeling at all the right moments.
* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: Doesn't it always?▼
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: A chilling, non-human version. To say any more would ruin the finale.▼
* [[Guide Dang It]]: So how were you supposed to know that the putty was ''explosive?''
** Actually, Joey tells you that if you show it to him.
▲* [[Grand Theft Me]]: A chilling, non-human version. To say any more would ruin the finale.
▲* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: Doesn't it always?
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: This happened to LINC's creator.
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Anita. She's not quite a scientist but she's tech savvy and fits the description to perfection.
Line 77:
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Gallagher's bizarre riddles and generally odd behavior are used to cover up the fact he actually knows precisely what he's doing.
* [[Pixel Hunt]]: The C4 consists of a single brown pixel on a grey-brown background. At least you can [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|stick it into a live socket afterwards...]]
* [[The Reveal]]: At the end they come thick and fast, with each subsequent reveal more bold and shocking than the last! You might guess a few, but you'll never see them all coming.▼
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: They're out there, and it's impossible to know who really IS human.
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Joey, and he's even more free-willed than [[Star Wars|R2D2]].
Line 89 ⟶ 90:
* [[Stock British Phrases]]: Used in a savvy way, mostly. Including the time when Anita tells Rob that his idiom about getting a Schreibmann Port is ''actually a description of the procedure itself''.
* [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]: {{spoiler|Anita survives until Robert visits a locker in the church, where he finds her radiation burned remains stuffed into a locker. It's as if opening the locker causes her to die and teleports her remains there.}}
▲* [[The Reveal]]: At the end they come thick and fast, with each subsequent reveal more bold and shocking than the last! You might guess a few, but you'll never see them all coming.
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: Like all classic genre works, this is a necessity. Though cleverly the production team kept future embellishments simple and believable.
* [[Unusual User Interface]]: The only way to get into LINCspace is by getting a Schreibmann Port, which is an unconventional way to get online, to put it mildly.
