trick box 

A difficult situation. Specifically, circumstances that require a great deal of finesse to come out of unscathed. Physically, this term references the inherent difficulty of solving Oriental puzzle boxes, but this instance the phrase is used in reference to uncomfortable social situations.
My brother's been crashing at my house for the last four months. He's really been wrecking the place, no matter how many times I talk to him about it. If it was anybody else, I wouldn't hesitate on telling him to get out, but he's family and I don't want to be a dick. I'm really stuck in a trick box.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
