Line 12:
* The whole book 4 of the ''[[Grail Quest]]'' series, ''Voyage of Terror'', is this trope. The hero Pip is accidentally sent to ancient Greece instead of Avalon, and starts out with none of the usual equipment, nor the numerous magical items that could have been gathered during the 3 precedent books, including [[Talking Weapon|Excalibur Junior]]. Sure, you can find some new weapons, armors and magic along the way, but none of the usual fare until the next book.
* ''[[House of Hell]]'' is a departure from most ''[[Fighting Fantasy]]'', in that the protagonist is [[The Everyman]], and starts the story unarmed. While weapons can be found, combat is not recommended for many situations, with most of it being a stealth-based [[Survival Horror]] game.
** ''[[Blood of the Zombies]]'' has a similar beginning, but in this game, there is ''plenty'' of fighting once the protagonist gets the hang of it. (''House of Hell'' is like ''[[Silent Hill]]'', but ''this'' one starts off like that and then switches to ''[[Resident Evil]]''.) In fact, this is the type of game book where the key to survival is to become an [[Action Hero]] ''and'' [[Guile Hero]] at the same time. [[Nintendo Hard| It ain't easy.]]
