If It's words then:
1.Stop clutching at straws! (inventory items not combining in Simon 2)
2. Get real George! (Nico in BS3)
3. I am at the crossroads between waking and dream (Brian from Dreamfall)
4. And last but not least the most IMPORTANT ONE! Which is:
LOOK OVER THERE, A TREE HEADED MONKEY!!!!!!
But what about items?
For example, what object/thing reminds you of adventure games?
For me are: duct tape, nails, keys, VERY IMPORTANT: LONG PIECE OF ROPE
, metal bars(sewer keys included!) ,matches, rocks......and someone else continue!
