Erma Felna reference in an NES game!
4 years ago
One person's junk/scrap/leftovers/spare parts/overstock/etcetera,
There are probably those that already know of this but I only just made the connection.
The NES game Nightshade: The claws of Sutekh has the main character (Nightshade) picking up a crowbar at the very beginning of the game.
Unremarkable to most people but those familiar with Erma may know why that's significant.
However, just a crowbar wouldn't constitute a reference, would it? Lots of videogames have crowbars used by the main character! (Half Life, for instance)
The reference comes in when you examine the crowbar and find that it bears an engraving: "To my dearest Erma - Love Toki".

Isn't that wild?
