| Brain Lord (Video Game) | comment |
A 1994 Hack and Slash Action RPG for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System published by Enix. Imagine a typical game in The Legend of Zelda, only with a Pokemon-esque Attack Drone system, more destructable equipment (well, shields), a slight bit more realism than usual, and, most importantly, Zelda puzzles on steroids (hence the game's name.)The story follows that the main character, Remeer, has joined a band of treasure hunters in his long-term quest to investigate the mysterious disappearance of dragons (which, apparently, were a pretty common sight once). His father had attempted this investigation before him, but never returned. During the course of the game, Remeer does find the last of the dragons, but this discovery is hardly the end of the game.Notable in that the game contains numerous references and even cameos to That Other Enix game (not to mention That OTHER Other Enix game developed by the same team), but, despite going so far as to Title Drop it several times, is otherwise unrelated and not within the same continuity. | |

Now, Where Was I Going Again? | |
| Brain Lord (Video Game) / int_199fde5c | comment |
Now, Where Was I Going Again?: Unfortunate, considering that at least half of the dungeons are hidden in far-away places from the main world, and at least one requires a magic wormhole in order to reach. Plus, most NPCs don't know much about that sorta thing, and your NPC-team is probably already there. Or near it. | |

| Brain Lord (Video Game) / int_2639f6eb | comment |
Status Effects: Poison makes you slowly lose health, numbness makes you suddenly lose all control for a fraction of a second and stop (spell casting takes much longer because of this.) | |

Trial-and-Error Gameplay | |
| Brain Lord (Video Game) / int_29c50e28 | comment |
Trial-and-Error Gameplay: One room in the Caves of Droog is a maze of boulders that shift around randomly whenever they're off-screen. It's very easy for them to end up trapping you in a small area where you can't move enough to get free and force you to use a Warp Gate to escape (or just restart if you don't have one.) | |

| Brain Lord (Video Game) / int_4ac55d49 | comment |
Opening the Sandbox: Happens after you gain access to Toronto, just before the third dungeon. However, this only really applies to the main world map. At the end of the game, you can access almost all of the dungeons, but the third will be closed off. | |

| Brain Lord (Video Game) / int_589e54d3 | comment |
Charged Attack: All of the magic spells, rather than requiring MP. The stronger spells take longer to charge up, but the basic Shot magic charges up in about half a second and shoots a projectile as strong as two or three hits from the Copper Sword. | |

Save Scumming | |
| Brain Lord (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f | comment |
Unless you Save Scum the Defense Up Potions. Then you might as well be wearing plate armor. Doubly so if you use the +Defense fairy. This could even be considered a Game-Breaker. Imagine, a Remeer that moves faster than most enemies, has enough defense to only take 1 point of damage from nearly anything, and has enough strength to kill nearly anything in one hit with a weapon like the Boomerang or the Morning Star. Game-Breaker indeed.... | |

Chest Monster | |
| Brain Lord (Video Game) / int_a51467fe | comment |
Chest Monster: The Ice Castle mixes in "poison fountains" that hurt Remeer when he tries to drink from them with the normal healing fountains. One of the plaques on the wall that give you information on how to solve puzzles and such will just poison you as well. Ramus is an asshole. Not to mention examining one of the bookshelves in the Toronto library also poisons you. And then there's your standard Mimics, which tend to hang out with other treasure chests and are slightly lighter in color than regular chests. | |

Canon Name | |
| Brain Lord (Video Game) / int_c978d895 | comment |
Canon Name: The only way the player knows of Remeer's name is if they decide not to name him something else. This can be pretty easy to miss. Though the team that developed the game tends to use that name repeatedly (Both in 7th Saga, where it was transliterated as "Lemele", and its follow-up, Mystic Ark). | |

Press X to Not Die | |
| Brain Lord (Video Game) / int_e6661fc2 | comment |
Press X to Not Die: The single hardest puzzle in the game is ironically the simplest (the two often go together), partly because of the fact that it's a bit of Breaking the Fourth Wall. There is a room with a locked door, and three buttons that don't do ANYTHING, and a message saying that the key is on the control pad. How do you solve it? You walk up to the door, and press a button of the control pad that you literally never use in any other situation in the game. | |

Sprint Shoes: A special cape found in the second dungeon, at the drawback that it is a type of armor and thus un-equips what you had on before. In other words, you move fast, but you're vulnerable. Unless you Save Scum the Defense Up Potions. Then you might as well be wearing plate armor. Doubly so if you use the +Defense fairy. This could even be considered a Game-Breaker.
