The original hint book that came with the first four King's Quest games had sections in it called "Points of Interest." At the end of each chapter, there was a section called "Points Not of Interest." This was one of my favorite parts of the book. :)

This not only includes the various ways to die, but also things that will lose you points, cause you to lose the game, or things that aren't exactly in your interest because doing them prevents you from getting the full points in the game.

Here is what the section in the hint book says: (page 47)
Sometimes it's fun to live on the edge. Try some of these things, but only after you've saved the game.

Stand in front of the rock when you move it
Let the witch have you for dinner
Do a swan dive into the moat surrounding the castle
Pet the giant rat
Step on the dragon's tail
(end quote)

Here are the points not of interest included in part 3:
Let the dwarf steal treasure from you after you have found one of the three lost treasures of Daventry, then try to get the other two lost treasures and try to finish the game
Visit the king before your quest is completed
Jump through the floorboards in the woodcutter's house
Play a game of tag with the ogre
Give into the troll's demand and offer him treasure
Make up the gnome's name, too bad if he says it is wrong
Jump into a swiftly moving river
Go for a swim in the Raging River
Run towards the door the giant rat is guarding
Listen to the rat's squeaking, finally giving into its demand for treasure
Pay a visit to the leprechauns without having a four leaf clover in your possession
Steal the shield in a room filled with leprechauns

This is part 3 of Points Not of Interest in King's Quest I. Enjoy.
