Something I noticed concerning Verb Coins...

[DBoyWheeler]

I tried to search for any threads similar, but search is malfunctioning (again).

Anyway, on the topic of Verb Coins, though it was mainly used in Curse of Monkey Island, a form of it was used in Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire.  Heck there were four "coins".  One coin was used for the character sheet (which included the rest/sleep part), another for the action/look, a third for inventory, and one that served as the compass to help you know where you were going (to an extent).

Am I perhaps the only one who noticed this?

i don't really understand what you're asking. verbcoins were indeed short lived but they remain to be my favourite way of navigating through an adventure game. If you're looking for more games that use the interface you should check out full throttle. Also the special edition of monkey island 2 has a pretty interesting take on the coin. Left clicking brings up all the actions (from the original 9 verbs) you can actually perform on an object (some one should make an ags mod for that). and there a few ags games that use it too, though the only one that comes to mind right now is Nelly Cootalot.
