Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Awesome Music: All of it, which is to be expected since every tune was lifted from Swan Lake.
  • Cult Classic: Never having been a smash hit, the game is still fondly remembered and maintains a devoted following even 20 years after its release.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Chaos.
    • The talkie version of Chaos is even better. It's all synthesized and creepy and "we are legion." Brr.
      • Bobbin's stock scream clip is even more horrifying.
    • Rusty Nailbender after he's killed by the dragon.
    • It might be a shorter list to describe the things that aren't scary has hell in this game.
  • It's Easy, So It Sucks: The game received some criticism for its short length and simple interface for being too easy. The Space Quest series mocks this by featuring a similarly titled game with no inventory, no interface, or any kind of interactivity at all.
  • What an Idiot!: The Glassmakers and their scythe of sharpness. They've spent a lot of effort preparing a super weapon that can be used by one person to defend against an army invading, so when Chaos is unleashed, which wants to rule the world and/or kill everything, and comes for the scythe. The Glassmakers decide the superweapon is so powerful that using it would make them as bad as Chaos, so they don't, and are killed. Apparently destroying the scythe is not even considered.
