I went crazy trying to find the plinth to start the game at the beginning of Starship Titanic. I knew what a plinth was, but it was my very first computer game, and I didn't have a clue about how to navigate around the room to get to it. I'm still a bit crazy, but at least I can navigate through a game now.

Not an easy game to start adventuring with! If only you could have foretold the future -- you would have known that this was only the beginning of plinthing.

Hehehe !! What a fascinating concept .... "only the beginning of plinthing" !!

Here are some games that I know for a fact have plinths:

Gabriel Knight 1
Secret Files: Tunguska
Perry Rhodan
Black Mirrors 1,2 and 3
Lost Horizon
Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual

I know that there are even more, but these are just some examples I can think of off the top of my head. Not to mention the games I haven't even played, but I'm sure many here may have. Plinths are taking over.
