  In Back to Skool, Eric can knock himself out with his own catapult. And in Fantasy World Dizzy, there is a way to play the entire game upside down.

  In Lazy Jones when you enter the toilet, and take a pee. There's almost absolutely no need for it but the game wouldn't be the same without it. Also in Lazy Jones what the hell was Lazy Nightmare supposed to be about?
  
  Another toilet related oddity! In Specventure the 1st time you lose all your lives you get zapped whilst standing next to a toilet. You then proceed to disintergrate, then a dustpan and brush comes onscreen sweeps what's left of you up and pours you down the toilet. I loved this when I was younger I thought it was hilarious (I was only about 7 or 8 though). Funnily enough the game only did this once. I you played more than once, every time you lost all your lives it would just show you the toilet and flash the words "GAME OVER" onscreen.

  Every night is curry night!

  How? "YOU CANNOT STRIKE THE WOODEN CHEST."
  
  However, I have discovered various other quirky features in The Hobbit:
  
  > OPEN DO
  WHAT?
  WITH ONE WELL PLACED BLOW YOU CLEAVE HIS SKULL. THE CHEST IS DEAD.
  
  > OPEN DO
  <fast scrolling>
  THE BLACK WATER EVAPORATES.
  THE FAST RIVER EVAPORATES.
  THE CRACK IS DEAD.
  
  > OPEN GANDALF
  I DO NOT SEE THE GANDALF HERE.

  YOU CANNOT OPEN THORIN.

  In Sherlock by Melbourne House, if you try to climb out of the train while it's moving (at least while it's going through the English countryside), you're told "SORRY IT IS TOO DARK"! :D This is regardless of what time of day it is, and whether or not you have the lamp.

  I never make misteaks mistrakes misyales errurs — oh, sod it.
