I wonder if there's any connection between the Thieves' Guild password being possibly "schwertfisch" in Hero's Quest/Quest for Glory 1, and the "Password: Swordfish" inscribed on a jewel in the Infocom game Sherlock...

*sighs, misses good games like HQ/QG1... hated when the interface for that game series changed over to a point and click, hated it more when it became more of an arcade style fighting sequence, hated it most in the final version.... the epitome of good stuff for that series was QG2.. they'd expanded on QG1 in all the right areas, and kept the interface just as it should have been... and yet, even the worst game in that series was better than 90% of other games...*

Actually I'm reasonalby sure they're both references to a Marx Brothers movie (http://imdb.com/title/tt0023027/).
