* GameEngine: The PC version uses the Build engine used in ''VideoGame/DukeNukem 3D'' and several other games, but oddly enough, used an earlier version of the engine than ''[=DN3D=]'' in spite of having been released later.
** The UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn and UsefulNotes/PlayStation versions instead use the Slavedriver engine, specially developed for this game. These versions have a hub-based level system and {{Metroidvania}}-[[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]]-FirstPersonShooter gameplay long before ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime''[='s=] debut, unlike the PC version. It's especially notable in that it was also used to port ''Duke Nukem 3D'' and ''[[VideoGame/QuakeI Quake]]'' to the Saturn, with great results for a console that isn't known for competitive 3D performance.
