* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Trying and failing to use the taxi's cell phone makes the narrator mention that all his life, Larry wanted to try out a cell phone. The game came out in 1991, about 10 years before mobile phones and 20 years before smartphones started being commonplace. There are also parodies of MC Hammer and the 2 Live Crew, and the President and VP are supposed to be George Bush and Dan Quayle.
