** Meanwhile, the second game is a parody of TheNewRussia (at least at the start) and satirizes many Russian stereotypes. Expect to see TheBackwardsR everywhere.

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: In the intro the game design is credited to an obviously made-up "Mr. Tzutzumi".

* ThemeNaming: All the main characters have a name that starts with D ('''D'''oug, '''D'''onna and '''D'''ino), moreover they are defined in-game as '''S'''mart, '''S'''exy and '''S'''ucker.

'''Nippon Safes, Inc.''' is an AdventureGame in the vein of Creator/LucasArts classics made by an Italian company named Dynabyte in 1992. It stars three characters (computer geek-turned-thief Doug Nuts, sexy starlet Donna Fatale and former boxer Dino Fagioli) who ended up in the prison of the fictional Japanese city of Tyoko and were bailed out by a mysterious benefactor, who however needs them to recover three artifacts for him.

* BrainySpecs: When Dino becomes super-intelligent after the result of the experiment at Matsushita Labs, he mysteriously gains a pair of little glasses for a while.

* FemmeFatale: Donna's StageName translates exactly to that in Italian, it's a bit downplayed in the actual story but she stills uses her feminine charms a lot.

* JapanTakesOverTheWorld: Implied with Matsushita Industries, which produce everything. The game was made in the early Nineties after all.

* MadScientist: The BigBad of the second game, Doctor Virago, who wants to resurrect Lenin to turn Russia back to the glorious days of Soviet Union. The doctors at Matsushita Labs in Tyoko qualify as well, at least for being so willing to experiment on a human guinea pig (Dino, who else?).

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: One of the scientists at Matsushita Labs looks like Albert Einstein. In the second game the host of KGB TV's quiz show is inspired by legendary Italian TV host [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Bongiorno Mike Bongiorno]]. Also Igor, Doctor Virago's assistant [[spoiler:when Lenin is resurrected rips off his fake hair and beard, and is revealed to be a TV executive looking suspiciously like Silvio Berlusconi[[note]]At the time Berlusconi was a media mogul rather than a politician[[/note]] who gives Lenin a contract.]]

* RecursiveReality: In Matsushita Labs Dino finds a pirated floppy disk of ''Nippon Safes Inc.'' and makes a little speech on why DigitalPiracyIsEvil. In the second game NSI is apparently still a game but it's stated that the event from the previous game actually happened, even if they didn't affect the plot in any meaningful way.

* TooDumbToLive: Dino is so thick (as a result of the blows from his boxing days) that he is constantly manipulated by other characters and doesn't quite realize what is going on at any time. Humorously, to become a human guinea pig in Matsushita Labs he must ''prove'' that he is extremely stupid.

* IgnoreTheFanservice: Donna tries to seduce a hotel concierge (who [[RuleOfFunny for some reason]] looks like [[Series/StarTrek Spock]] with a five o' clock shadow) but it turns out he's gay.

* NoNameGiven: Possibly Donna, since "Donna Fatale" is a StageName and, while at one point she says to Doug "you can call me Lady", it's doubtful that it's actually her real name

* TooDumbToLive: Dino is so thick (as a result of the blows from his boxing days) that he doesn't understand almost anything of what is happening around him, even at the end.

* NoNameGiven: Possibly Donna, since "Donna Fatale" is a StageName and, while at one point she says to Doug "you can call me Lady", it's doubtful that it's actually her real name.
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Donna tries to seduce a hotel concierge (who [[RuleOfFunny for some reason]] looks like [[Series/StarTrek Spock]] with a five o' clock shadow) but it turns out he's gay.

** Maybe also Dr. Ki, the man who bailed our heroes out of prison. Ki is pronounced like "Chi" in Italian, a word meaning "Who"... in other words, Series/DoctorWho.

* ThoseTwoGuys: Max and Kos, who are actually [[AuthorAvatar caricatures]] of the graphic artist and programmer. They appear to be [[SelfDeprecation two horny geeks]] who will give the characters a few scant hints in exchange for something.

!!The game provides examples of the following tropes:

* ThoseTwoGuys: Max and Kos, who are actually [[AuthorAvatar caricatures]] of the programmer and graphic artist. They appear to be [[SelfDeprecation two horny geeks]] who will give the characters a few scant hints in exchange for something.

* [[ThirtySecondsOver Thirty Seconds Over]] [[JustForPun Tyoko]]: A wildly inaccurate vision of modern-day Japan PlayedForLaughs by two guys who probably never even went there. Expect geisha, salarymen and monks roaming the streets, pachinko parlors, Yakuza, sumo fights and almost every stereotype you can think of, minus ninja.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Max and Kos, who are actually AuthorAvatar|s of the programmer and graphic artist. They appear to be [[SelfDeprecation two horny geeks]] who will give the characters a few scant hints in exchange for something.

* AnimeLand: Or better, a wildly inaccurate vision of modern-day Japan PlayedForLaughs by two guys who probably never even went there. Expect geisha, salarymen and monks roaming the streets, pachinko parlors, Yakuza, sumo fights and almost every stereotype you can think of, minus ninja.
