3	''Avoid Advertising/{{the Noid}}'' is a PlatformGame for the Platform/{{Commodore 64}} and [[Platform/IBMPersonalComputer IBM PC]], created to advertise Domino's Pizza. You start at the bottom of a 30-story building, and have to deliver a pizza at the top within half an hour. The building is infested with Noids, who will use jump kicks, exploding telephones, water balloons and ''bazookas'' to destroy your pizza.

5	----
6	!!Contains examples of the following tropes:
7
8	* TheComputerShallTauntYou: Every time you lose a pizza, you are treated to a close-up of a grinning noid, complete with mocking laughter sound effect.
9	* FourFingeredHands: As in the commercials, The Noid and all his copies have these.
10	* GameOverMan: The Noid himself.
11	%%* InterchangeableAntimatterKeys
12	* InterfaceSpoiler: You know the bottom floor of each screen doesn't have trapdoors, because that would cause you to fall off-screen.
13	* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: You have to travel to the top to deliver the pizza.
14	* MalevolentArchitecture: For some reason the whole building is full of trap doors.
15	* MascotWithAttitude: The Noid himself. He's got a lot of attitude to be doing this much to stop you.
16	* MesACrowd: For unexplained reasons, there is an entire army of copies of the Noid.
17	* ProductPlacement: The whole game is this for ''Domino's''.
18	* PublicDomainSoundtrack: Each of the 12 screens has a different tune, including such classics as "Music/RideOfTheValkyries" and "The William Tell Overture".
19	* SmartBomb: You get a handful of "Noid avoiders" that clear the screen of Noids.
20	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: How do you destroy a pizza? Of course, you take out a ''bazooka''.
21	* ThirtyMinutesOrItsFree: As an advertisement for Domino's pizza, the game's time limit is 30 minutes (with a simple game over if you miss). However, the time is started at the building itself rather than having to drive to the location. Also in case of the Commodore 64 version, you're treated to a screen saying you're good enough to be a Domino's delivery person.
22	* VideoGameLives: Five pizzas. If they all get crushed, exploded or soaked, it's game over time.
23	* WhiteGloves Just like in the commercials, The Noid has these.
