10 Video Game Buttons You Shouldn't Have Pressed (But Totally Did)

5. Escape Pod - Space Quest 1

Working for Sierra must have been brilliant fun back in the day, as not only would you be working on some of the best point and click adventure games on the market, but you'd also be able to pepper these adventures with a liberal dose of comedy in the form of humorous deaths the player could accidentally trigger.

One fate comes at the expense of pressing a button that "should never be pushed" under any circumstances, and can be found in the escape pod early on in the game.

With a name like that, how can you possibly say no?

Giving in to your curiosity will see you flung not only into the past, but an entirely different Sierra game, which the game gleefully points out as you lay dying in the shadow of Nottingham Castle.

The game in question is none other than Conquests of The Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood (in case you're wondering), and to be honest there are worse ways to go out.

Still maybe avoid this button next time and keep the action confined to your own timeline?
