It might sound weird and nuts but I have been thinking of this, which items haven't been used EVER in a adventure game... at least not yet. Here is my list of stuff nobody haven't been used in a adventure game that I know. Correct me if I'm wrong at a part.
A jojo
A skunk (note: the black cat you get in Day of the Tentacle doesn't count as a skunk)
A plastic goose with a rope on the top (Just kidding!)
A pen-eraser
A comic-book
A rubber-ducky
A voodoo-mask
Corndogs
Can of beer
A Grim reaper suit
A chicken suit
A DVD-movie
Some garlic
Some curry-powder
Well that's all I can think up of for now. You guys can tell me things that I missed.
A grim reaper suit was of course used in the classic LucasArts game, Grim Fandango. One of my personal favorites.
And I dunno if the tofu mask from CMI counts, but that was sort of a voodoo mask. :P
- Bryan
I've not seen my mum as an inventory item.
Then of course you could have a pointless thread asking people to list everything in the universe ever, (excluding only a relativly MINUTE numer of arbitrary objects) as an inventory item...
Would that be a paradox?
canned peas and an electric floor waxer.
Lemmee think:
A shovel,
A key,
A grappling hook...
etc, etc
Well, the grim reaper suit in Grim Fandango doesn't count since it's NOT an iventory item and when I meant by the suit, a skull-mask be included. The tofu mask doesn't count because it was to fool the vegetarian cannibals so it's more of a cannibal mask than a voodoo mask.
Eggie, are you suffering under amenisia or do never play Monkey Island? No offense really, But keys have been used in a lot of adventure games and shovels have appeared a couple of MI games. A grabbeling hook was what Guybrush used at the end of LeChuck's revenge so it doesn't count. And I asked about things that have NOT been used as an iventory in ANY adventure game, not even AGS games. So think about three times before you reply, ok?
You said rubberducky... but just play The Longest Journey, and youll get a rubber duck! Ok here is my list of never used inventory
A giraffe
An eurocoin
a golfball
a gameboy
a sharktooth
a casinochipp
Rope
A list of never before used items:
-A plastic llama
-A hyena costume

-A copy of an adventure game
-A small island

-Absinthe on Toast
-Dictionary with the word 'Anthropomorphism' missing
-God
-91 and a half yards of twine.

-LeChuck Action Figure with realistic synthesised speech.

Jimi: I think there was an electric floor waxer in Space Quest 5.
Minime: Willy Beamish had a Gameboy-type thing.
As for items that I've never seen:
a sock puppet
a kazoo
an oven mitt
brass knuckles
DUCT TAPE??
There were two sock puppets in MI4, and duct tape in my game :P although not officially.
a can of chilli and a length of hose...
A rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle. ;D

The tofu mask doesn't count because it was to fool the vegetarian cannibals so it's more of a cannibal mask than a voodoo mask.
Well, how about the Crocodile mask in GK1, which I believe Gabriel uses in the voodoo ceremony?
Has there ever been an adventure game walkthru as an inventory item?
I think so in SQ4... Not sure if you could pick them up though.
All Purpose Drink Tray Apparatus
Dirty Underpants
Router
Hub
NIC
You can go on forever.
kinda twisting the idea around here, but i love in infocom's "hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy" you can carry "no tea". i thought that was a stroke of genius. and having to pick up your common sense and lose it so that you can carry both tea and no tea...DNA RIP!
(as for that "dictionary missing the word 'anthropomorphism'" item...can i use that?)
You can have some garlic with you in Quest for Glory 4, a kazoo in Zak McKracken and dirty underwear in Monkey Island 2.
Someone should make a game using some of the weirdest items named in this thread :)
Let's see now...
There was a jojo in FoA (One of the things Omar sells you.)
There was a comic book in Flight of the Amazon Queen
There was a sharktooth in Goblins 3
There was a lenght of hose in FoA
And m0ds, it's Lula not Lola. (Aren't I annoying today? ::) )

-Dictionary with the word 'Anthropomorphism' missing
Did you know that the word "gullible" doesn't appear in any dictionary anywhere?
Just a few things that come to my mind... correct me if I'm wrong. ;)
- Bottle of mineral water
- a seahorse
- dried leaf
- foam
Bye,

Iqu
Lucky (wouldn't you rather have more than?) I never actually PLAYED that game, I just saw it on the shelves. Wait, you seem to know allllllllll about it..... ;)
nose hairs
A sponge. No, not the kind you clean with.
Man, it's so tempting to make a game using all these items now...
*looks around*
Yees, I gotta admit that I own Lula... It was cheap.
Anyway... back on topic.
Have laserguns ever appear in a game before? It will come out in my next game Bill Starshine though.
yes, they have.
Scarydan: Sure, whatever. So long as you include furries somewhere.
More weird items:
- Full size Malevolent Dragon costume
- The hull of the Marie Celeste

Big Whoop was an inventory item at the end of MI2.
I only hope you're kidding about the talking LeChuck doll, because how would you come up with that if you hadn't seen it?
Quote from: Cerulean on Sat 12/07/2003 00:23:06
Big Whoop was an inventory item at the end of MI2.
Big Whoop wasn't the item, the item was a ticket for the Big Whoop theme park.

Geek humor is so hard to understand..
I think Eggie was joking. I mean, a key! :P ;D
Anyway, I'm not sure it's exactly the same but there was silk hose in Grim Fandango, although with a hole burnt in them.
Hmm, let's see:
Has there ever been a mousetrap?
-Instructions to operate a microwave
-A roll of toilet paper
-Shekels :P
-A cookbook
-A diet chocolate snack (?)
Doesn't anybody get sick of this?
I'm pretty sure it's very easy to get sick of this, that's why I only posted once. I think it's more fun to point out where items that were listed appeared ;).
There's a toilet paper roll in Flashbax ;D
But I've never see or heard of Key to Roger's home ;D But I haven't played 'em all....... :P

Chips (any flavor)
I can't think of the name, but I know there's a game with chips in the inventory.
QuoteA Grim Fandango poster
This was in my game ;), but since it got lost, I suppose it doesn't count.
QuoteA parrot
Definitely in a game also, but again I can't think of the name.
Chips (any flavor)
Wayne's World?
A parrot
Simon the Sorcerer 2?

King's Quest VII has a moon in it. Yes, it is cheese, but if you look at it it's called the moon.

Quotea shrunken head
Monkey Island there was the navigator's shrunken head.

Someone mentioned a chess peice and a chessboard earlier. I know that there was at least ONE chesspeice (I think more) in "Tex Murphy: Overseer". I know you used them on a chessboard, but I don't think you actually possessed the chessboard.
And in Broken Sword and Betrayal at Krondor (although you could argue that that's not really an adventure...)
I'm pretty sure there was a bow in Shannara (I think it was Shella's).
However, I'm not so sure I've ever seen these (and think they could be of some use):

-a police scanner
-a speed gun (if that what you call those... you know, a device that measures speed of say, a car or of hockey puck or a baseball...)

Balloon was in Monkey Island, the lingerei was in Broken Sword 2, also, on page one, I dont know if they were joking, but you get a LeChuck action figure in CMI. Plus, the jewellers eyepiece, if you mean Wally, hes a cartographer, NOT a jeweller.

A piece of carpet lint
A week old maggot burger with flies on the side
half a dozen broken CD crystal cases
Mcurk's fear of closets
CJ has never been an inventory item, has he?

Correct me if Im wrong but a guitar pick has never been an inventory item. But I'm gonna fix that in my new game :P :P

One of The Arthur Yahtzee Trilogy (Friday, Saturday and Yesterday) had 4 'Spare' Tyres.
A copy of the game your playing.
An RPG Launcher
Sam or Max (in a game other than Sam and Max)
In Space Quest 4, Space Quest 4 makes an appearance in the Vohaul's computer at the end of the game, and you can actually delete it (and then the game shuts off).
Also, Sam and Max make cameo appearances in other Lucas Arts games, though not as themselves. They were a statue near the monkey head in Monkey Island 2, I think. Or was it the first one, I can't remember.

Toilet-brush
There was a toilet brush in the first Broken Sword game. You know, you had to rescue it from the kebab stall?
Yes, I have nothing better to do. Lol.

- A kitty
That was in Young Ones. I wonder if anyone else has played that game...
I know that Sam and Max are in other Lucas games but they've never been Inventory Items, like stuff you can pick up.
can't someone just make a list of ALL of the things mentioned here?
* Satan's pitchfork <- Satan's Quest
* A book full of pictures of naked farm animals
* The entire universe
* Dog-Hot-Pot
* A dead girl wrapped in plastic
* A whale
* A donut hole
* A pixel
* An inventory (like another inventory inside your inventory. Like whoah, man)
* Your hand
* The fourth dimension
* A broken sword
* A loom
* The king's quest
I'm sure I've ripped some of these off from elsewhere...
There was a broken sword in Escape from Monkey Island.
The Dig and Flashbax had someone's Hand in your inventory, Does that Count?
Wait a minute! I don't recall that there was a hand in The Dig but you had to cut of Brink's hand because he got stuck.
remember Jesse James severed hand in Sam and Max?
Your right about Dig, I just remembered that they both involved Sawing Someone's Hand off, but Flashbax let's you Keep it in your inventory.
There was an alien hand in Rob Blanc.
Satan's pitchfork was in Satan's Quest...

Nah, it has to be "your" hand. As in your hand in your inventory. Well, it made perfect sense to me last night...

There was a broken sword in Escape from Monkey Island.
But is it called "broken sword"? I think there's also a broken sword in Return To Zork. Probably about a million other games too. Maybe I'll just cross it out.
Well it's a sword, and it's broken. Plus Guybrush makes some sort of reference to the games when you look at it, I think.
Yes AGA, it is a in-joke to the game Broken Sword when you open the sewer outside the bank with the broken sword.
But about the sword: First it just say sword but Guybrush says that is cracked but then you use it to brake of the hinges and it breaks, then it becomes a 'broken sword' (duh!).
Did 7 Days a Skeptic not have your hand in the Inventory? It was so you could interact with Inventory objects? or was it just an eye and things?
A motorised rubber bra...
Has been an inventory item.
Really?
Has there ever been a loaded gun ina Game where you couldn't care less about shooting people? Not like Pleurghburg where your a Law guy.

...
DUCT TAPE??
...
Kazoo (whatever THAT is) - if I remember correctly - was name of a flea in "Goblins 3". And he was used as pick-up-able inventory item.
Where did I see duct tape for the last time? Some AGS game probably...
There was a kazoo AND duct tape in Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders.
"Duck" tape is the oldest inventory item in the book! Well, the oldest one is a key.
Ten "useful" inventory items:
- The Internet (yes, the whole internet in your inventory, somehow, and I'm not talking about accessing the internet)
- An 18-wheeler truck (Actually, I wouldn't be suprised if this has been an inventory item, with the absurdity of some adventure games)
- AGA himself (he could be an inventory item, right? right? maybe we'll have that on Mittens Kwest... coming the day Dave Gilbert gets to work on it!)
- A hammer made out of cheese (someone once suggested me to use that, or something similar to to that)
- You soul (hey, this one is pretty cool!)
- A copy of the adventure game you're currently playing (breaking the 4th wall :o)
- The mouse pointer (Breaking the 4th wall again. Use mouse pointer with whatever, and then your mouse gets stuck there. Your EGO breaks free and you lose the game).
- A party (in your pants, and everyone's invited! (bad pun))
- A picture of your character, naked. (no comment)
- Last, but not least, Adventure Game Studio (you can make games within your game!)
a P3n1SH
I got some more:
A monster-truck
Tickets to a opera
A light-saber (any kind)
A compass that doesn't point north (yes, I was thinking of Pirates of the Caribbean)
Note-sheets to a Wagner opera.
Ben Franklin's kite (you get to hold it DOTT but it doesn't show in Iventory window)
Raisins
A mine cart
A sheep
Potatoes
A cloud
A drunken parrot
A hyperactive parrot
A haloween bag full of candy
Fake fangs
Nosehair from an elephant
LeChuck's wriggeling beard (yes, we see it in MI2 but it's not seen in the inventory window)
A box full of many kinds of stuff
A magic hat
A ladder (throughout MI4 Guybrush tells that he can never get a ladder into his pants but did that mistake once)
A McDonald's coupon.
A stop-watch
Well, that's all I can think of right now.

Hmm... I was going to say it myself, but flash (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/taters.php) works so much better.
FoA had a Ladder and Monkey Island 1 had a Compass that pointed to Stan's Ship yard.

Cool topic! Best of all that what I've quoted is AGS! I've just remembered Sim-Sim from SQ4! It will be really cool to make game right in game. :)
And YOUR soul seems interesting. More interesting that Internet does! You will need to simulate soul of any player for that...
But it so great dreams. How about for example GIRL in inventory? :D Not just icon for directing like in BS3, but exactly GIRL. Or not girl, maybe somebody else who you can use like good inventory item in many different ways.
Oh. by the way - in LSL7 there are some kind of erotic photos of Larry as an invetiry item, so it isn't example!
I have a cheese-slicer in my game.

It might sound weird and nuts but I have been thinking of this, which items haven't been used EVER in a adventure game... at least not yet. Here is my list of stuff nobody haven't been used in a adventure game that I know. Correct me if I'm wrong at a part.

A plastic goose with a rope on the top (Just kidding!)
A pen-eraser
A comic-book
A rubber-ducky
A voodoo-mask
Corndogs
Can of beer
A Grim reaper suit
A chicken suit
A DVD-movie
Some garlic
Some curry-powder
Well that's all I can think up of for now. You guys can tell me things that I missed.
You get a comic book in flight of the amazon queen.
How about:
Godzilla
An antelope
Ten billion cheese sticks
Nothing

Actually, I'm pretty sure that you get the hair of a three-toed sloth in Flight of the Amazon Queen, though I can't say with conviction that I remember whether it's only got three toes or not.
You could really list just about any absurd thing, but what about stuff that we see every day but just for whatever reason has yet to be used? Lessee, here... What about:
A pack of hot dogs (Absurd-ish, but still easy to come by)?
Origami paper (admittedly not all that common, but...)?
A computer mouse or keyboard (To my limited knowledge, you've never been able to actually carry one around seperate from a computer)?
That's all I've got.

So far, so bad.

Charcoals are in Apprentice 2. Guitar in Night of the Hermit and Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders. Swiss Army Knife in No-Action Jackson.
Speaking of hose, there is one in Full Throttle.
Have these been a game:
A handful of basil
A tuba
A living mouse (not hamsters because they're in Fatman, Maniac Mansion and DOTT)
A banjo (yes, I know there some banjos in MI3 but they don't count as inventory)
A military helmet.

A monkey tail.
A leaking gas can.

There was a British flag in Gene Machine, wizard's staff (with a knob in the end) was in Discworld and if I remember correctly, The One Ring was in Simon The Sorcerer.
I meant the One Ring from the Lord of the Rings, you know "The One Ring to rule them all". I'm not talking about "any" One Ring but Sauron's Ring.

Well, the one in StS did turn it's wearer invisible, and was found near Gollum.
Well, I haven't played Simon the Sorcerer so I didn't knew that (I haven't played any Sierra games at all, just Lucas Arts ones). Well, I suppouse it counts then.
- real anchor - in mid-90s arcade/adventure game Toxic Bunny (and very heavy anchor) (the game actually had an inventory)
- rabbit's foot - also in Toxic Bunny (a pink happy one)
- a live fish - Legend of Kyrandia 3
and there was a fondue set in Malcolm's revenge as an inventory item (though it was not used actually) which contains fondue pot.
Don't forget the rabbit's foot in King's Quest 6.
Things I hope wasn't inventory items:
- Giant rat
- Your brain, liver, guts, etc
- Hawks eye
- Pony tail
- Pirated copy of the game you are playing
- US Robotics 56k faxmodem
- Gary Coleman
- Dinghy Dog (tm)
I doubt about giant rat and, especially, Dinghy Dog(tm) (haven't played MI4, alas)
And about having Internet as an inventory item. Someone can carry Internet? No. That's what I'm talking about.
ps. about rats. I once see a rat named Terror-giving Executioner Hetfield.

By the way, have there any game that had a GPS Navigator? I'm planning to use one for a future project.

All of a sudden I feel like making a game about a pom-pom from a clown suit...

Okay, this bit is old since I was responding to the wrong message. So sue me.

There wasn't any loose monkey tails in any of the MI games.

Beep, RIGHT! The record you find in the piano room is in fact broken, in the original version of Maniac Mansion (as well as the enhanced and NES versions). LucasFan saw fit to replace it by a Loom Soundtrack in his version, but that's not canon.

There's other kinds of adventure besides point-n-click. The older Sierra games qualify, as do all infocommies. I would certainly call Boy and his Blob an adventure, because there's little to do besides walking through rooms solving the puzzles. Same goes for the Dizzy series.

Quote from: Mats Berglinn link=topic=7122.msg293190#msg293190Quote* A broken record -- easy, Maniac Mansion
Beep, wrong! There were two records but none of them were broken nor can they be broken. I think you mixed that up with broken ketchupbottles or the broken chandilair.
Beep, RIGHT! The record you find in the piano room is in fact broken, in the original version of Maniac Mansion (as well as the enhanced and NES versions). LucasFan saw fit to replace it by a Loom Soundtrack in his version, but that's not canon.
Oh, I didn't thought the record was broken. I had played the orignal MM but I didn't remember that the record in the piano room was broken. I didn't mind that it was replaced by the Loom music.

Okay but
still the Zelda games doesn't count as adventure games, not as the kind of adventure games where it requires brains, inventory items, hard thinking (most of the time) than button mashing. Now let's carry on with the unused inventory items.

Meatballs - Day of the Tentacle has spaghetti with meatballs
Not really because the wet spaghetti in the inventory didn't have meatballs but they appear when the spaghetti was put on Dead Cousin Ted's head, so it doesn't count as an inventory item but rather an object (maybe we should start a "Things that haven't been objects yet" threadÃ, ;D).

I can see it now. You get beheaded (as a zombie) Once you find your head, it's an inventory item, if you USE ihead with character ZOMBIE, then it re-attaches and you re-gain the TALK cursor. I should make a game... no... wait... no I shouldn't, nevermind.

I don't remember that Guybrush ever got hold on rum that's very old in MI2, I recalled that he did got non-acholholic grog and in MI4 he got very old grog.

IIRC when you get to a certain old pirate, you are given a mug of really old rum (or maybe it was grog) and have to switch it with alcohol-free grog. At any rate you do hold the mug of old liquor for a while.

It wasn't very old rum but very STRONG grog which made Guybrush faint everytime he drank.
speaking of old alcoholic beverages, I have heard tell of guys while exploring an approx. 150 year old shipwreak, found some unbroken bottles of whiskey, corks still in, and (cuz its wqhiskey) still okay, in fact better then okey, smoothest whiskey EVER! I heard it was damn good.

About the wine/vinegar: I'm not sure about this. The wine becomes vinegar after it's been stored about 400 years then the wine should not be counted as wine anymore... or does it.

True, but not just the Pope's dung but
anybody's and
any creature's dung.
The same goes with snot and pukes (real, in DOTT there's a fake one). When comes to blood there's a few samples in Phleurgburg (I'm sure there are more but I don't remember/know which ones).
Well I guess you are right Mats.
Far from me the idea to argue with you! I was just trying...
...
Anyway, ok lets try these ones... (not from quebequers expressions, but from me this time! gna! gna!) ...
- a key that create a door wherever it is used ...
- a bucket that tels you the time ...
- a deck of cards that lets you win no mather what game you playing ...
- a box of matches that will never go out ... (out of matches I mean) ...
- a bubble (you know, like when you use soap and water to blow bubbles) ...
- a tool box that always have the right tool for you no mather the situatition ...
- a bottle of wine that is never empty of plain water!...
- a squared wheel that never get lost (like it always knows where to go to get somewhere!)...
- a pencil that knows everything (here goes your walkthrought!) ...
- a shoe (not a pair but a lone shoe) that jumps over the clouds ...
- a knife that cuts scenes ...
- a peace of cheese that never get smaler ... (this one is cheep!)
- a flower that makes people love you ...
- an axe that cuts water ...
- a rope that can tie time! ...
- a flute that opens other dimentions ...
- a coin that will buy any princess (or prince)'s heart ...
- a table that follows you everywhere no mather what's on top of it ...
- a dor's "knock knock" that will open any door ...
- a sword that tells jokes ...
- a portable door that gets you wherever you do not want to be ...
- an idol thats makes the gods angry at you ...
- a ring that makes you see ghosts ...
- a hat that lets you go wherever you want to go (almost a cheat!) ...
Anyway, I'm bored now but hey Mats tell me what you think of these!... (Please be nice!) ...
Quotea deck of cards that lets you win no mather what game you playing ...
The five CMI death cards.
That wouldn't help you win Egyptian Ratscrew (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Ratscrew)...o.0
Unless you gave the Death Card a face-card value, say, making it worth 5 chances. But it wouldn't guarantee a win. Maybe you could make it worth 0 chances so that you claim the pile every time you lay a Death Card? :D

James, this is a topic for things that HAVEN'T been inventory items,...yet. Jojo was an inv. item in MI2, as you said.
I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this (anything but pointless) thread for giving me several ideas for inventory items in my next game.
And so that my post features something more constructive than bum-kissing, here are a few ideas of my own:
an omni-virus that can infect both computers and animals
a device that can magically make things heavier
paint to change the colors of other items
a tape recorder that can store a player's typed message to play back later
(possibly to convince an NPC that you're in a room when you're not)
a heatray gun to heat up objects
a freezeray to do the opposite (also can make walkable paths on bodies of water)
a device that can magnetize other items
shrinkray to make things tiny/huge
hope this helps people create more creative puzzles.
Quotea device that can magically make things heavier
Well, my game By the Sword will feature an antigravity generator, which I suppose could be used for that purpose...theoretically. But yeah, hasn't been used
yet. ;)
Quotea freezeray to do the opposite (also can make walkable paths on bodies of water)
This is an awesome idea! You've just inspired me! Thank you!
Seriously, that is very original...there is a lake in front of you. Do you find a boat to sail across it? Find a life preserver to swim in it? Nope, you freeze the water to walk on top of it. That's really lateral thinking. ;D
Glad to be of service. Here's another idea:
magic spell that can bring inanimate objects to life
This could create some very interesting puzzles:
Table too heavy to move? Use the spell, and it gallops away!
Can't figure out where to go? Use the spell on a map, and it will give you directions
(with a snooty accent and general attitude of disdain, of course)
Locked door? Use the spell on it and then convince it to unlock itself.
Damn, I'm not usually into fantasy games, but this is starting to sound pretty good.
I might have to make this game myself one day.
Until that day, feel free to use this idea in your own game. See how many puzzles you can come up with that stem from this one item.
This could be a way for the player to use ordinary items (or unrelated items) in a totally new and different way.
Something like using the "detangling cream" with the "T-remover" in Leather Goddesses of Phobos and getting "de-angling cream" for the king. ;)
But I digress. Here's some I could think of:
a mouse cursor (just the cursor itself - maybe for a game where you are "inside" a computer)
silly putty that can talk to you - and be quite silly while doing so
a cup holder, ripped out of a car
a drink coaster
a key ring
a pair of cosmic-ray glasses (x-ray glasses that were made incorrectly)
a Styrofoam particle (those little white dots that come off when you break a piece of Styrofoam)
a used toothpick
the foam that covers one ear piece on headphones
air (it's air in your lungs, and you're holding your breath until you use the item on something - i.e. blow on it)
a "Draw Two" Uno card
a graphic tablet pen
a bottle cap
Correct me if any of those have already been inventory items. :)
I can't think of a specific example, but a bottlecap has to have been used before. It just has to have been.
I think the "air in your lungs" item is especially clever, but it would probably make more sense as a gui option: "blow on."
I also like your idea of "silly" putty, because if there's one thing adventure games need more of, it's bad puns ;)
For my next contribution, I'm just going to steal from Legacy of Kain: Soulreaver.
-What if you could carry, say, a portal to another realm around with you?
The other realm is like the current room, but objects are moved around, certain doors are unlocked/locked, and of course, everything just looks really warped and creepy.
This idea could also work for "vision" items, like:
Nightvision goggles
X-ray specs
Your cosmic-ray glasses.
You could also have "spiritual vision" items, i.e. you could see whether people were good or bad. Good people look like angels, bad people look like demons. It would be especially cool if you got this item late in the game, and you suddenly realized that a character that has been helping you for no apparent reason is actually an evil guy leading you into a trap (It's a trap! It's a trap!... sorry, my inner Admiral Ackbar took control there for a second).
What about an inventory item that makes the entire room reversed left-to-right (like a mirror)? The possibilities would be endless.
More I thought of:
one of those arrow-through-the-head hats
a single green pea
an unfolded bed sheet
a re-writable HD-DVD
an iPhone :P
a used cup (empty, but has dried-up soda or juice at the bottom)
an umbrella pole (missing the canopy part)
a "six-shooter" alcohol dispenser
a wet paper bag
a can koozie (never saw one of those as an inv. item before)
Some of those might be unknown to certain people, so let me know and I'll clarify :)
A can koozie could be used to... fix a leaky pipe?
Also, the wet paper bag intrigues me... not sure why.
Anyway, I had a bunch of ideas all at once, so I'll just dump them in this post.
You mentioned an antigravity generator in your game (very cool idea, by the way), and someone way back in this thread mentioned suction boots. The logical thing would be to combine the two: antigrav boots.
My original idea for using them was to get an unreachable item on the ceiling. Then I realized that you could use them to make some really unique spatial puzzles. Imagine an M.C. Escher drawing turned into a playable maze: walk up the wall, then jump to a platform, walk around the other side of the platform (going from upside-down to right-side up in the process) jump to another platform, etc. You wouldn't have to script it like a platformer- the jumping would just be a canned animation triggered when you click on the right hotspot. The tricky part would be drawing it so that the player could easily judge the distance between platforms, what was higher/lower, etc.
My next idea would be an inventory item that actually inconvenienced the player, rather than helping him. I'm thinking specifically about a parasitic creature that latches onto the player. He would appear stuck to the border of the inventory box, rather than in an item slot, and when the mouse cursor hovered over him, he would grab it, and not let go until you shook the mouse back and forth a bit. Preferably, you would change the default pointer cursor to, say, a hand pointing. That way, it would be immersive "It's got my arm!" rather than breaking the forth wall "I can't click on shit!" I have no idea how you would script something like this, but I believe it's possible and I KNOW it's kickass ;)
And lastly, just a throwaway idea that came to me out of the blue:
The game developer's mind could be an inventory item. That way, you'd always be able to solve those nonsensical, "what was the designer thinking?" puzzles.
Alright, basically it's a cutesy version of a hint system, but I still think it would be funny if using it would get responses like "Duh, obviously all you have to do is use the jellyfish on the horse testical and the magnetron. This is just common sense, people. It's simple!"
I've always loved the idea of a "thought" inventory: i.e. items would be thoughts, ideas, or desires.
Also, Oddy, a lot of your ideas are awesome. Antigrav generator used on boots to make antigrav boots...so simple I woudl've never thought of it. It gives me an idea for my game actually.
More items:
the LCD screen from a calculator
the cap to a pen
a digital camera memory card
a silicone implant :P
Not sure how the thought inventory would work, but it is a cool idea. Like, you could give Love to a princess or Loyalty to a king or Eternal Disdain to your sarcastic sidekick.
What would a pen cap actually be useful for? Hmm... I guess you could store very small amounts of a liquid in it. Like... a mermaid's tear as an ingredient for a potion. Though why pens and mermaids would exist in the same world is beyond me.
The silicone implant is a great idea. You could use the shrinkray I mentioned earlier in reverse to make it into a beanbag chair. ;D
As for my addition to the list, I think it's already been said, but:
-intestines.
It's actually part of this idea for a game I had: You're a zombie, and the only inventory items you use in the game are parts of your own body. Like, your intestines would function as a rope to cross pits, or a whip to defeat enemies. You could pull off one arm and hold it in the other to grab things that are just out of reach (and too slippery to lasso with your intestines). You could detach your eyeball and stick it in holes to see things you couldn't otherwise see. And you would use your teeth to bite people, obviously. Also, eating brains would give you "super strength" that you could use to smash through locked doors, etc.
And you could talk to any object in the game, but everytime you press the talk cursor, you would just shout variations of "GRAAA!" or "Splargh!" or something totally random.
LMAO, I love that idea! You should go for it! I'd love to play that game.
Oh, and to stay on topic, more ideas...though a lot of them may have been used before:
a packet of sugar
a highlighter
the metal spiral part of a notebook
an embroidered patch, ripped from a hat/shirt/etc.
And remember: all inventory items have a use, no matter how weird, out of place, or unusual.
An alien?
The metal spiral part of a notebook? Brilliant.
Here's a few more:
Darkness
Fog
Earthquake in a can (I think this was in a Road Runner cartoon once)
Sorry to interrupt, but mouse cursor was used in Richard Longhurst and the Box that Ate Time.

Here's an idea:
A meditation handbook. Use it on yourself, and you can astral project your soul out of your body. Your soul could travel over areas that your player character could not, and even go through certain walls.
Not sure how to script this, except maybe making a character that always followed the main character from room to room, whose walking image was a blank cell until replaced at the appropriate time with a ghost image.
ODDYSSEUS! I wish I knew you in person, because I could pick your mind endlessly for ideas! That is an amazing idea! Why did I never think of that? I'm really into astral/ethereal projection. There could also be an "advanced" book that you obtain later that does ethereal projection, allowing you access to other planes of existence and whatnot.

How about a cooler instead of a fridge? More practical.
And since you brought up classic adventure characters, how about a book called Larry Laffer's Failproof Pick-up Lines. Use it on all female NPCs for humorous (and disastrous) consequences.
And now, the part where I pretend to be original:
Inventory items that affect all other inventory items. The simplest idea I had was: pick up the "sand" item, and the phrase "This is like, covered in sand" will be added before the descriptions of all other inventory items.
Here's an idea that's harder to implement: you're a spacedude on a bio-ship. All the ship components you pick up have living tissue. One of the items you can pick up is infected with a virus, and once it is added to your inventory, it starts to infect all your other items, one by one. Infected items wouldn't necessarily be useless (because everyone hates walking deads, right), but their function would change, so you'd have to solve a few puzzles differently.
Ooh, I like that last idea, Oddysseus! An alternate version could see a molecular destabilizer that you know you need later on in the game, but in the meantime, all of your items appear slightly melted...which makes one of your now-red-herring items useful in some manner, now that it is "melted".
More:
A biochip that you scraped out of some dead guy
A defibrillator for reviving injured friends/zapping enemies/overloading electrical equipment
A remote-controlled mosquito -you could use it to get blood samples from suspected criminals, or infect it with a virus so it kills any guards it bites

Perpetual Motion Machine
I recall using one as an energy source in a Maniac Mansion Mania game.
A potion that floods all the world after being spilled on the ground, floods all the world (with all consequences like lesser gravity, high demand on oxygen and such...) ... with the sound of flushing toilet.
A Hero container (a spoof on a pokeball) which can contain clones of the best adventure game characters. Like when a crowd of female fans are blocking you way, you can throw one at them , saying "Leisure Suit Larry, I choose you!" and "Flirt attack!".
Or when you need to get on any restricted space ship (including ones from other dimensions) you can just use Roger Wilco's space janitor ID.
A pre-Great Flood sponge, which was used to clean all the water. (Just imagine, what will happen if you squeeze it)
A broken A perpetual motion machine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_motion) which is used as a can opener.
The Ultimate Electronic Virtual Viruse Weapon Discette -- A discette, that contains a viruse, capable to detroy any computer or mechanic device, in 1 second after plugging in (Too bad, that none of modern computers or mechanicevices will have a discette drive)
"A potion that floods all the world after being spilled" - now that's a powerful item.
Also, the pokemon idea is quite cool. Shame about the massive copyright infringement it would require to utilize it properly.
My contribution(s):
A gun that makes things black and white for some reason. I dunno, maybe if you made a Rainbow Brite game where you played as Murky and Lurky or something.
Another gun that changes the room perspective from normal to a flat 2D platformer-style perspective (like the upcoming Paper Mario game). It would be most useful to use this idea with the AGS platformer module.
And finally: some object that allows you to see the preliminary art for the game - use it on objects, they become lineart, backgrounds become rough sketches, characters revert to earlier designs. Not really useful, but it might be a cool 'behind the scenes' kinda bonus for those who beat the game or find 'teh ooltiMate seekret Item!!'
You have to collect pieces of Lego.. err I mean... children's toy building blocks and the more you collect the more cool stuff you can make out of them. The items you make can be used for solving different puzzles... and building the items would be a cool puzzle in its own right getting more and more difficult the more blocks you collect.

In my mAGS game in development. Sorta.
My last three suggestions were kinda boring.
Fortunately, I came up with two much better ideas:
Hair in a can. They used to advertise this stuff on infomercials, but it was really just spray paint that stuck to your head. What if you could really spray actual hair (or fur) out of a can and onto any object in a room.
Thought bubble. Use this on a puzzle you're having difficulty with, and a "Daydream" minigame opens up, with the problem and its solution represented in some abstract, surreal way. Win the minigame, and you'll figure out how to solve the puzzle.
An amulet that lets the main character change into different animal forms at will.
A magic wand, which when waved over a numeric lock, or a computer that requests you to input a password, tells you what the password is.
A pair of lips.

Not entirely true. The shrinking ray is something Old Purple Tentacle used, it was never an inventory item, so it doesn't count.
About Zak: It's not an amulet but a crystal and besides, it just switches bodies with animals, Zak never turns into them.
Monkey Island: That depends on what TYPE of lips you refer to. MI had WAX lips but not the real thing.

Well, considering that that post is on the first page of this very thread, I'm sure a lot of people could stumble upon it.
A twist on the idea would be to have the walkthru only tell you how to solve puzzles you've already completed (the rest of the pages are torn out or something).
Phantasmagoria did have a "not so subtle" hint option if i remember correctly. Altho, this wasn't an actual inventory item :P

Actually, I never remember the Grim Reaper suit being part of your inventory. Oh, you wear it once while playing the game, but it was no more part of your inventory then Guybrush's shoes. I don't have it now, because, I lent it to my sisters, so I can't check, but I have a good feeling I am right.

lo_res_man is right about the Grim Reaper suit, it was never an inventory item in Grim Fandango.
The same goes with the corndogs in Sam & Max: Hit the Road, they were just an object.

In fact my first AGS game featured a Perpetual Motion Machine. The game was "El misterio de la Esceula de Arte."
I haven't read all the pages but I'm certain there is a comic book in Flight of the Amazon Queen called Commander Rocket and there is a Shark Tooth in Tale of Two Kingdoms aswell.
Anyway here's my list:-
- A nodding dog
- A guitar
- A fake eye (In KQ4 I think that's a real eye)

I don't remember the specifics, but there's definitely a puzzle in The Longest Journey where you sneak into a police station and find a cop in the bathroom, and then make him sneeze so that his glass eye comes out, and then you replace it with something and use his eye to get past a retinal scanner.
A map of north pole.

In fact my second adventure game, which is still in production, features a secret item that is "Nothing" which I used to test alpha channels on the GUI.

Actually, this
is an inventory item in a game I played a while ago. Can't for the life of me remember what it was called though.
My contribution: A pair of silk jodphurs.
I've never seen myself, as game player, in an inventory. ???
And one or more portable holes would also be nifty when stuck in certain rooms, always an exit...
There's an idea I have... maybe a box that, if you're stuck because of a dead-end, gives you the needed item?

The energizer bunny was used in Full Throttle to get over the mines.
A monkey was used as a lever for a pump (if I recall) in monkey island
An iphone was used in the iphone adventure game 1112 to take an upskirt photo of some rough looking woman
Technically a portable door hasn't been used, but the concept has, as an inventory item.
Not to forget the energizer bunny from SQ4.
Didn't you also have to pick up the energizer bunny in Charlie Foxtrot? Or am I remembering wrong?

-A Concentrated Time Pulse Cannon (when in reverse setting, it can turn enemies into babies; when in standard setting, it can turn thick steel into rust instantly)
-something else

And one or more portable holes would also be nifty when stuck in certain rooms, always an exit...
King's Quest V or VI had a portable hole in it, though it was for looking through instead of being an exit.

I'd like to see a game with NO physical objects as inventory items but ideas and 'feelings'
Like Loom?

Toonstruck had a portable hole as an inventory item.
Lets see...
- an ingrown toe nail
- balm of Gilead
- inner stock rail fastening
- the screenplay of Zyzzyx Road
- an apple pollination table
- the inner swine
- the BFG9000
- a bowl of viscera
- the world's smallest snowman
- your former wives' heads
- a cock-of-the-rock
- an AGS tutorial
Now make a game with all those items ;)
A toblerone (c)
Katana, bo, hanbo, chain with dagger at the end.
The song "Hakuna Matata" from Lion King
I believe that a comic book was used in Willy Beamish. Also, DVD's probably haven't appeared as items because adventure games started to lose popularity around the time that DVD's came on the market (for average consumers).
Ive never seen David Hasselhoff as an inventory item yet (but correct me if Im wrong).
Small planet...although a small planet was a fighting character in Anachronox
A mini chewbacca action figure? :P
Only action figure i've seen is the mini LeChuck in COMI, which was really funny LOL!
(Btw you can find it on Skull aka Duck island)

Does the main character suffer a chemical burn from lye in the process (from a figment of his own twisted imagination, no less)?
First and the second rule are very clear on that we do not talk about that...
That having been said, the Third Rule of Fight Club has never been an inventory item. Somebody get on that.
YOU SHUT UP AND STOP TALKING ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!
Solidarity
A child's smile
memory of a breezy summer afternoon
A female harlequin into bondage
The smell of the chief of police
A man's snot
Ipecac pancakes
A microwaved guinea pig
A thing that you don't know what it is...
...oh, wait, this game is actually kind of difficult...
