1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: This game is full of amazing classical-sounding tracks, but the ones that stand above the rest are the opening theme, Cafe Parisien, C Deck, and the first sinking theme.
2* HilariousInHindsight: A diamond necklace serves as one of the key [=MacGuffins=] in the game. One year later, James Cameron's ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'' would also have a diamond necklace as a plot point.
3* MemeticMutation: When Frank is instructed to find the painting, he offers to send a telegram for John B. Thayer instructing his train to be there when the ship arrives. However, the game does not need the exact telegram to be sent (or even sent at all, you can just lie and say you did it). A number of fans joke that they actually send "cancel train," some dark humor as Thayer perished in the sinking.
4* NightmareFuel:
5** Rather jarringly, if you try and take the [[spoiler:''Rubaiyat'']] out of the boiler room directly, Vlad catches you, takes it off your hands, and promptly shoots you in the face.
6** After you knock out Zeitel at the top of the funnel, you climb back down and get knocked cold by Vlad (notice a theme?) wielding a ''very large'' [[WrenchWhack wrench]]. You eventually come to, and the ship has already been ''sinking for over an hour'' (it's 1:05 AM) -- and you can hear things or people ''splashing into the water around the ship'' as you scramble to complete your mission before the last lifeboat leaves.
7** And if you fail to do ''that'' in time, you get several minutes aboard the ship simply to run around and contemplate your [[KillItWithWater inevitable]] [[KillItWithIce fate]].
8** The cut-scene of Haderlitz getting [[HighVoltageDeath electrocuted in the Turkish Bath]] if you take his ring to Trask to get a reading.
9** ''All'' of the AlternateHistory bad endings are ... [[BittersweetEnding less than ideal]], but the [[DownerEnding worst of them]] is probably [[spoiler:Nazi Germany managing to create [[StupidJetpackHitler nuclear weapons]] and then using one of them on Britain during an alternate UsefulNotes/WorldWarII -- which, in this timeline, is the ''only'' World War, as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Serbia was averted due to a lack of funds for the Black Hand organization. The PlayerCharacter is killed by the very bomb that the Nazis drop on London, no less.]]
10* ToughActToFollow: Even before issues behind the scenes would force a complete reevaluation, becoming more of an open tour, ''Titanic: Honor & Glory'' faced doubts from fans that it would not merely try to copy the plot of TAOOT. Cyberflix itself would likewise find this with their later games, as they simply did not live up to TAOOT. Proposals to branch into potential sequel works sadly fell through as well.
11* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The ship is not actually a 3D model, but pre-rendered images of the model largely due to system limitations preventing a faithful recreation of the Titanic from being rendered in real time on an average home computer of the day. Every time you move, the game loads the next picture in sequence to make it appear 3D. It's completely seamless. The sheer number of images needed for the Titanic is largely the reason why the game took up two discs.
