* DoingItForTheArt: For the development of the original, Spielberg not only brought on Capt. Dale Dye, the military advisor for ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'', to work with the developers, but the developers were ran through a boot camp similar to what the actors in ''Saving Private Ryan'' had been subjected to. All in the name of ensuring that the game would be as authentic as possible.

** Even before the reboot, the games from ''Pacific Assault'' onward increasingly took cues from new-kid-on-the-block ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' with the addition of mechanics such as squad combat and ironsights, and the abandonment of the OSS behind-enemy-lines theme for straightforward recreations of WWII battles.

* StillbornFranchise: Not the series in general, but rather ''Rising Sun''. It was hyped as the be-all, end-all of games set in the Pacific Theater, and was all set up to have a direct sequel with an ongoing character-driven story about two brothers, Joe and Donnie Griffin, with the original starring Joe and the planned sequel starring Donnie. But after ''Rising Sun'' was greeted with a pretty chilly critical reception, not only was the sequel canned, but it left the original with a CliffHanger ending that was never given a full sequel. One of the lesser played ports (''Heroes'') resolved it off screen by saying that Joe and his friends were rescued.
