A chesspiece
A chessboard

I don't technically know of any games offhand that use these, but I'd be really surprised if there weren't any.


Broken Sword, in Spain uses both of these (and you have to work out the checkmate, too)

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.
I make music.

AGA

And in Broken Sword and Betrayal at Krondor (although you could argue that that's not really an adventure...)

Ozwalled

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 thermometer
-a barometer
-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...)
-a stapler
-a whetstone
-dissapearing ink
-blueprints
-a level
-an exacto knife
-boxcutting knife
-nailclippers
-correcting fluid/ whiteout
-firecracker
-megaphone
-disposable camera
-tazer
-Bic "Crystal" Pen
-meterstick/ yardstick
-aluminum foil
-crampons
-tampons
-a dongle
-a protractor
