* TechnologyMarchesOn: Figuring out the slide projector puzzle towards the end of the game requires a general understanding of what slide projectors are and how they work, something many members of a 2015 audience (especially younger gamers) wouldn't have a clue about, given that such projectors have long since been phased out by digital ones (and presentation software like Microsoft [=PowerPoint=]).

* ShoutOut: The alternate costumes in the GameCube remake are seemingly random film references. Jill gets a tank top, fatigue pants, and yellow-tinged safety goggles, which is meant to recall Linda Hamilton in ''[[{{Terminator}} Terminator 2]]''. Chris and Rebecca, for no obvious reason, are dressed like Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts's characters in ''TheMexican''.
