There was a text adventure for the BBC Model B called Philosopher's Quest (Acornsoft 1983). The back of the box mentioned, among other things 'Nothing in the game is a red herring so read all the text carefully for clues to other puzzles.'
At one point in the game you see the word 'Blanche' written on a wall. If you type the word, distant bells ring, but nothing else seems to happen.
Right at the end of the game, you need one more point to win. If you say Blanche at the very end, then you get the final points; no red herrings.
