** According to Creator/JoshMandel, he proposed an ending that would be a parody of ''[[Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968 Planet of the Apes]]'', with Roger discovering a statue of VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry instead of the Statue of Liberty. However this idea was shot down by Scott Murphy.

* TroubledProduction: The game was initially written and developed by Josh Mandel, but management issues forced him to leave Sierra in the middle of the project, and Scott Murphy took his place. Neither of them communicated much during the remaining development, leaving several puzzles without hints, and the Datacorder puzzle was only avoided by Josh asking Scott about it just before the game shipped.

* FridgeBrilliance: The ship's vacuum-elevator transportation system. Notice after Stellar's funeral that all of the characters enter the transport head first? Roger has been consistently shown to enter feet in the tube first. Roger also is shown to get to his destination on his feet. This means that others most likely hit their heads first traveling amongst the ship. Roger is also the one to realize Stellar's distress communication.
