| 9 | !!This game provides examples of: |
| 10 | * FaintInShock: Bruce Light, being a very fragile man, flops unconscious to the floor from fear when being questioned. |
| 11 | * FatBastard: Farnham is an overweight mafia boss. |
| 12 | * InventoryManagementPuzzle: You can only hold eight items at one time, so it's sometimes necessary to drop what you will no longer need later. The final section has four items which you have to present and from the beginning to the end you need to keep your wallet and gun. |
| 13 | * PressXToDie: Just type in "KILL ME" and the game will be happy to oblige. |
| 14 | * StalkedByTheBell: You always have to be on the move, because if you stay in one room too long, the thugs will get you (and no, shooting them doesn't work). |
| 15 | * VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Killing people you're not supposed to, like the window cleaner, results in going to jail and a game over. |
