Aliens reference
The main menu music for the game has been taken
directly from James Cameron's film, Aliens. If you own
The Deluxe Edition CD of the movie's soundtrack, track 13 (Futile
Escape) is the theme for the game's menu.
2001: A Space Odyssey reference
During the last quarter of the game, nearly all
the sound effects for the radar equipment, assorted machines,
generators, etc. are taken directly from Stanley Kubrick's classic
film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Pod Bay door effects, Pod
radar beeps and alerts, and many other easily recognizable sounds
are incorporated into the levels.
