Good, we can all avoid torturous rhymes for another day or two.

It's actually strange that I initially guessed Pedro, which as you say, shares a theme (of pest killing, as it happens). I got it through that.

Game coming up later on.

True but in these games the escaping is central to the game, not just the opening puzzle.

These clues are as generic as the Zork series.

The clues are meant to start hard. If clue 1 was rhymes with slim bandango you would all get it.

Clue 2 is quite good actually.

Clue 3: Game 2 is famous for you needing to use 1 swear word to finish the game. In game 3 you have a 99 turn limit, and if you don't succeed in this time an overgrown rodent eats you.
