The first game and the expansion were eventually ported over to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation and [[UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn Saturn]], sold in a single box titled ''Shockwave Assault.'' A planned port of ''Shockwave 2'' to these systems was cancelled, as it was originally released at the end of the 3DO's short lifespan and as such, sold poorly, but it was eventually ported to the [[UsefulNotes/MacOS Mac.]]

* SequelHook: ''Invasion Earth'' ends with a fair amount of closure, but ''Operation Jumpgate'' ends on a blatant cliffhanger. This was a problem for UsefulNotes/PlayStation and [[UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn Saturn]] players who didn't have access to ''Shockwave 2.''
