- Cult Classic: Thanks to poor marketing and high system requirements, the game didn't receive much attention at release, despite the good reviews, but it has gained a decent following over the years.
- Fan Nickname: The protagonist's real name is variable (and not revealed until late in the game), but "Lex" is a somewhat common nickname for him among the fandom.
- Jerkass Woobie: Caynan, an Ax-Crazy (and Cloud Cuckoo Lander) fellow prisoner who you have to fight early in the game. He's so psychopathic and ridiculous that most players are happy to have kicked his bright blue ass... until they find the logs which reveal that Mastaba reduced Caynan to his miserable state because he tried to rescue you and failed.
- Memetic Mutation: "A fork" became a minor one thanks to a playthough on Giant Bomb.
- That One Level: The reactor shutdown mission. You need to navigate a catwalk (with the VERY clumsy controls), lower a pylon BEFORE the alien catches up with you, attack the alien to lure it to the catwalk, shut down and re-activate the catwalk to kill the alien, run BACK and lower another pylon then shutdown the reactor with a code. All in ONE MINUTE. If you save your game anytime inside the reactor room, the reactor will ALWAYS explode no matter what you do. *Also* the alien sometimes mysteriously reappears and shutdown the catwalk and kills you even if you succeed.
