Teenagent
(26/2/1994) is a
point and click Adventure Game developed by Metropolis Software and got released on MS-DOS and
Amiga. It revolves around
Mark Hopper who is
a teen chosen as a secret agent by a
Fortune Teller and the
RGB to solve the mystery of anomalous
bank robberies.
Teenagent provides examples of the following tropes:
- The Chooser of the One: Downplayed. A Fortune Teller randomly picks Mark Hopper on a phonebook.
- I Can't Reach It: You need an empty plastic bag. You find a plastic bag containing chunk of meat. You would think you could simply leave the meat anywhere on the floor, or toss it into a trashcan, but nope—not in adventure game land. You have to dump the meat into one specific place, a pot of soup that you are not going to use for anything else.
- It's probably justified by the fact that you took it out of a freezer and the bag is frozen to the meat and you don't happen to possess any other means to defrost it.
- Impossible Task Instantly Accomplished: Mark literally finds a needle in a haystack just by casually sticking his hand into it.
- Kid Hero: Mark Hopper is a teen trying to find the criminal for the bank robberies.
- Pixel Hunt: It requires you to dive into a lake and grab an anchor from its depths. Except the anchor is tiny and barely visible, there are no in-game hints that would suggest its existence, you only get to see it for a couple of seconds at a time (that is how long the character can dive,) and to pick it up you have to click on it right after you begin diving — otherwise the character will simply ignore your command. That, and also yet another bookshelf with only one usable book.
- Shout-Out:
- Mark Hopper mentions even Obelix has friends besides being fat.
- Mark Hopper mentions he always liked Star Wars.
- The Three Trials: First is to escape from a locked room, next is to learn the interrogation password, and third is hide-and-seek.
