Line 84:
* ''[[Rogue Galaxy]]'' has only one planet with black people, who also turns to be the one planet devoid of technology (since the people have an aversion for it); the population is also savage, believes in human sacrifices, etc. Lilika (the one person from the planet who joins the party) is one of the most well-loved characters of the game, being sensate and at the same time a strong, independent woman. It's half a subversion, half played straight.
* In ''[[Myst]]'''s Stoneship Age, the Black Ship flag symbol resembles the Islamic star-and-crescent symbol.
* The enemies to be introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' were initially believed to be named the "Unbirths" [[Spell My Name with an "S"|due to a quirk of the Japanese language]]<ref>More specifically, a similar problem to [[Japanese Ranguage]], but using B and V instead of R and L.</ref> and were given the official description of being "the opposite of human life". Abortion [[Epileptic Trees|theories]] abounded. (They're actually called the Unversed, by the way.)
* In ''[[Time Crisis]]'', every character that deducts 1,000 points when shot (the other player character, Captain Rush from ''Time Crisis 4'') has been male. Every character that deducts 5,000 (Christy Ryan from ''II'', Alicia Winston from ''3'') has been female. Possibly justified with [[Distressed Damsel|Christy]], but 5,000 points seems a little harsh for [[Action Girl|Alicia]], a rather competent soldier (as we get to see in the console-exclusive Rescue Mission mode in ''3'') who, in a series first, is a female who ''[[Subverted Trope|doesn't]]'' get kidnapped.
* Long time popular franchise ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' has followed the same typical formular with each game, [[Big Bad|Bowser]] kidnaps [[Damsel in Distress|Princess Peach]] and it's up to [[The Hero|Mario]] and friends to save her. In 2005, Nintendo decided to shake up the formula [[Day in The Limelight|by making Princess Peach the hero]] in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. But, unfortunately, the first Mario game to focus on a female character, and her powers are controlled by her emotions, which led to fans referring to her as [http://hail-nekoyasha.deviantart.com/art/Super-PMS-Peach-30235959 Super PMS].
