Creator Breakdown - The original draft for the game had Ben and Maureen hooking up in the end. However, during production, several key members of the creative team had their relationships sour and in a fit of angst, decided to rewrite the ending. Ironically, the game's Bittersweet Ending was lauded for being truer to the tone of the rest of the story.

Three of the Vultures are voiced by some pretty popular voice actors. Suzi is voiced by Tress MacNeille, Steve Blum plays the bit part of Sid in an early role, and of course, Maureen's voice belongs to Kath Soucie (also early in her career).
What Could Have Been: According to Tim Schaefer, MTV met with him about a potential animated series based on the property, though nothing ever came of it.
An early storyline involved Maureen and her twin, Tina, that would have mimicked The Prince And The Pauper. Schaefer got the names from college friends of his. Eventually Tina was dropped entirely.
The game's iconic soundtrack was originally intended to use Soundgarden. The Gone Jackals got picked up due to Soundgarden costing far too much for the game's budget to allow.
