1 | This is game with 25 different endings that need to be instantly memorable. Chances are, there are gonna be a few references. |
2 | ---- |
3 | * The poster unlocked for the [[spoiler:Back to The Past/Future endings]] resembles [[{{Franchise/BackToTheFuture}} Emmett Brown and Marty standing in front of a certain DeLorean]]. |
4 | * [[spoiler:The Future ending takes the city to [[{{VideoGame/Fallout}} October 24, 2077 where it looks destroyed.]]]] |
5 | ** [[spoiler:In addition to the ruined city, [[Film/TheTimeMachine2002 the Moon in the background appears to have broken up into several pieces as the result of demolitions for a lunar colony 40 years ago in 2037.]]]] |
6 | * One panel designed to accept "0" and "1" is labelled [[spoiler:[[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} "Bender."]] Entering the right binary code causes a robot to appear and destroy the city. The use of binary is in itself a reference to "Bender's Big Score".]] |
7 | * [[spoiler:Shining the lamp on it also shows [[Literature/TheTwelveChairs "Ostap"]] written above it.]] |
8 | * The poster unlocked in the [[spoiler:[[{{VideoGame/SpaceInvaders}} Space Invaders ending"]] is of one of the aliens.]] |
9 | * [[spoiler:The Panda Ending]] is so-called because the poster unlocked for it resembles the World Wildlife Fund logo. |
10 | * [[spoiler:After pushing the red button 70 times in one game session, [[VideoGame/TheStanleyParable "AWAITING INPUT" appears on the city screen. Completing this gives you an employee ID with the name "Stanley" on it]]]]. |
11 | ** Taken even further in the 3D edition, [[spoiler:with The Narrator himself providing commentary over the whole thing.]] |
12 | * [[spoiler:Entering "2001" on the keypad and inserting a key launches a rocket into space, [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey with a fetus on-screen in the foreground]]. The ''3D'' version makes ''TheMonolith'' appear as well.]] |
13 | * [[spoiler:Occasionally an [[VideoGame/PapersPlease Obristani passport]] will come up that the player must reject for one of the endings.]] |
14 | * [[spoiler:By using the UV light on the panel, you can find [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda the Triforce]] and VideoGame/PacMan, amongst other things]]. |
15 | * [[spoiler:[[Film/OfficeSpace Wrecking the printer with a hammer wins you a red stapler.]] One of the messages that can appear during this ending is even PC LOAD LETTER.]] |
16 | * One ending involves playing an early home computer game. While PDTA calls it "Red Baron," it strongly resembles [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi4prSNuFaQ Blitz]] from the VIC-20. |
17 | * The phone number on the wall has "[[Film/WarGames Joshua]]?" written next to it. [[spoiler:If you use the phone with the acoustic coupler modem and dial that number, the screen will invite you to play TabletopGame/TicTacToe. If you select zero players, the panel will reenact the final scene from the movie.]] |
