I’m not sure of what kind of tool it is but if it’s that thing that is used to open manholes, then there is one in Broken Sword 1. You use it to open the manhole and to go to the sewers.

Is that the tool you were thinking of?

It’s that kind of a tool that every conductor on every train has. He uses it to open windows, the doors of the toilets in emergency, and so on.  
But in this game you won’t find it on a train, but on another kind of mass transport

I need to replay it, I had totally forgot that part!  
I checked the key in machinarium, and it’s not really the same as you have described.

Full Throttle - I don’t remember exactly _where_ you find it, but it’s one of the things you need to fix your motorbike.

So, it’s my turn.

**A vacuum cleaner**

You are right, I had thought of Future Wars, in the rumble of the ruins, you find a blowtorch.

Day of The Tentacle, after the addition to the Constitution 😃

**a bottle of perfume**

I don’t know why, but I missed this one!  
I think that’s because in 1995 I was already working 8 hours per day, so I hadn’t so much spare time like before.  
Do you think I have to play it?

I’m sure that I have played more games that had a bottle of perfume but the only one I can easily remember is “A Vampyre Story”, because the player can use that item multiple times.

The perfume is in Mona’s bedroom.

My turn. Let’s see if I can think of something a little more difficult to remember:

## a [dodo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodo) egg!

In Gray Matter there was a Dodo egg, in the museum of the Oxford university.
