Iconic game weapons is good, I'll be using that one so thanks, if you have any suggestions for the questions I could use. That'd be great (Right now all I've got on my mind is the crowbar from Half Life)
Iconic weapons could be more in line with iconic of the person (rather than the game overall)- show the weapon and say who uses it and what game/series (and name of the weapon, if it were picture based.) Some more examples:
Master Sword- Link
Masamune- Sephiroth
Buster Sword- Cloud
Mega Buster- Megaman
Falchion- Marth/Lucina/Chrom (depending on design)
Key Blade- Sora/Mickey/Many others (could specifically show Mickey's Keyblade, etc.)
Portal Gun - Chell
Kratos from God of War's things
Vampire Killer whip - a Belmont
Iconic per series could still include Key Blade, Portal gun, and Master Sword (or perhaps a less obvious Zelda weapon- Hookshot is pretty iconic to the series, sort of.)
I don't know, just spit balling here.
Strange Weapons makes me think Earthbound, most immediately. Bat, frying pan, yo-yo. MGS has its cardboard box (not really a weapon, but a tool.) Shovel Knight has his shovel (among some other silly things.) Not sure, I know games have a lot of weird weapons, but I am having trouble listing.
Glitches - Missingno. SSBM has play as Master Hand, or "Black hole" glitch, and ummm.. This category is much harder to come up with things than I had thought it would be. Most glitches are a lot less memorable than Missingno, that's for sure. (And listing the tons of other Pokemon Gen I glitches would be unfair.)
Poor translations-
All of the beginning of Zero Wing (All your base are belong to us, etc.)
X-Men arcade game "X-Men, welcome to die"
Ghostbusters NES "Conglaturation!"
In Metroid, the Varia Suit (still used) came from being a poor translation of "Barrier"
"A Winner is you," famous line, although apparently from an NES Pro Wrestling game.
