Line 61:
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: At least it is in the gamebooks, where if you die you're given a chance to go back and try again. Unless you fell for one of the [[No Fair Cheating|cheater traps]].
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]
* [[Dolled
* [[Drop in Nemesis]]: "Oh, no! A lurking grue slithered into the room and devoured you!"
* [[Feelies]]: Like all [[Infocom]] games, all the text-based Zork games came with several feelies. Almost all were essential for completing their respective game.
Line 74:
** ''Spellbreaker'' was so hard the developers actually ''apologized'' and admitted most people would have to use a hint book to finish it.
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: Suicide in text games is a wholesome and entertaining pastime.
* [[Hello, Sailor!]]: A recurring [[Catch Phrase]] in the first several games.
* [[Hell Seeker]]: The backstory has the legend of Saint Yoruk, who travelled to Hades to meet with the Devil and learn the secrets of magic from him. When Yoruk died, his soul went to heaven, but as he'd gotten used to Hades, he fought his way back there.
* [[Hostage for Macguffin]]: ''Wishbringer'', {{spoiler|subverted, the [[MacGuffin Girl|hostage]] ''is'' the [[MacGuffin]]}}.
Line 98:
* [[Stable Time Loop]]: One in ''Sorcerer'' and two interlinked loops in ''Spellbreaker''.
* [[Stock Puzzle]]: Nearly all of them, at one point or another.
* [[Stolen Good, Returned Better]]: One of the treasures you find is a golden egg... but if you let the thief steal it, when you find his lair later, you find that the egg has been opened, and it contains a golden singing bird -- much more valuable!
* [[Text Parser]]: See You Can't Get Ye Flask.
* [[To Hell and Back]]: Zork I, Zork Grand Inquisitor
