* ''[[Dungeons |
* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons|Advanced Dungeons and Dragons]]'' module A4 ''In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords'', which starts out in, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. Somewhat justified in that the previous module ended with the PC party being captured by the Slave Lords. |

* In ''[[SaGa Frontier]]'', Emelia begins her story in Despair, a supermax prison, wrongfully accused of her fiance's murder. She breaks out accompanied by Anne and Lisa. (Ironically, in anyone else's story, Anne would help you break ''into'' Despair during the Rune Quest.) |
