Line 18:
* [[Fan Remake]]: Of ''Paradroid'' and, to some extent, ''Fallout''.
* [[Game Within a Game]]: Several. There is the [[Hacking Minigame|Hacking mini-game]], several [[Betting Minigame|betting games]], a pseudo-[[Nethack]] game, and even a version of [[Progress Quest]] (the shareware version).
* [[Give Me Your Inventory Item]]: Occasionally.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: 420 [[Meaningful Name|"Coward"]]
* [[Gratuitous German]]: Engel sometimes uses some German words, and Geist uses only German.
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: Somewhat literally; as in ''Paradroid'', stronger robots have higher ID numbers. That is, if you see a 123 it's "free EXP time!", a 139 (which is the only low-level robot with a ranged weapon) it's "Oh no, kill it!", a 249 (which wields a machine gun) is "OMG KILL IT!!", and a 302 is "*splat*" (unless you hack it). You find higher-level droids as you venture farther from town.
** 296 is a notable exception - despite being a 2xx type, it's harder to beat than some 4xx robots because of loads of HP AND powerful melee attacks.
** 139 and 247 (once you can hack it too) are something you may like to see: they are easy to capture without being hit (139 has long pauses between [[Painfully-Slow Projectile|slow shots]], and 247 is melee-only), common enough that they are easy to collect in swarms and replace, make decent cannon fodder for their level, and aren't slow.
* [[Thriving Ghost Town]]: Very odd and extreme. The only town currently in the game has a population of about ten, but has enough space to hold maybe fifty. An NPC claims it contains a population around 250, and that there isn't any food. Huh.
* [[Undefeatable Little Village]]: Lampshaded.
