If you go in to detective Murphy's office, you can catch him and another police officer talking about a 1980's Sci-Fi film where a guy "gets all shot up and gets rebuilt as a cyborg," which is similar to how Adam Jensen got his cybernetic enhancements. This and the detective's full name, Alex Murphy, is a reference to the 1987 movie Robocop.

After buying and/or collecting the three gift items from island shops and giving them to Roll, she will be missing from the cockpit, leaving Data alone. If you go to the bathroom after talking to data, a black screen appear with Roll yelling at you, implying you walked in on her taking a bath. Mega Man will do his victory pose right after this. If you go into Roll's room after this and read her diary she will mention this and another time that Mega Man walked in on her, referencing the Easter egg from the first game. Strangely, this scene is also the trigger for Roll to give you 10% discount on Weapon upgrade prices.

Attachment The name of the mission "Body Harvest" is likely a reference to the Nintendo 64 game of the same name, produced by Rockstar North when they were DMA Design. It is arguably Rockstar's first free roaming 3D adventure, setting the precedent for GTA III to follow. The use of the Combine Harvester is likely also a reference to Body Harvest, as a part in the game involves the use of a combine harvester to run over zombies.

At one point during development, the Combine Harvester had a green body color, no step bars into the driver cab, and a less detailed combine head.

Depending on the day the CD-i's clock is set to, very brief messages will appear underneath the loading screen of the game's first level in place of the standard "HERE WE GO!" message:

• January 1st = "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
• February 14th = "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!"
• February 17th = "ITS HOLLIES BIRTHDAY!", celebrating the birthday of Play Consultant Hollie S. Lohff.
• May 8th = "DO NOT FORGET MOTHERS DAY!"
• July 4th = "HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!"
• August 31st = "READY TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL?"
• October 31st = "BOOOOOOOOO!!!"
• November 24th = "HAPPY TURKEY DAY! GOBBLE GOBBLE!"
• December 25th = "HAPPY HOLIDAYS!"
• December 31st = "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

In regards to the February 17th message, Hollie S. Lohff is the daughter of one of the game's engineers, Thomas Lohff. She was brought in to playtest the game and commented that Mario should be able to jump, as it was weird to play a Mario game without that mechanic. The developers took her advice and added her to the game credits as "Play Consultant."

The French version of the game features its own unique messages to indicate French holidays:

• January 1st = "BONNE ANNEE" ("Happy New Year.")
• Late January = "ALLONS CHERCHER LA FEVE" ("Let's find the charm." Displays in a time of year where in France the people eat some "Galette des Rois" (King's Pie) and there is a charm hidden in the pie.)
• February 14th = "C'EST LA SAINT VALENTIN" ("It's Valentine's Day.")
• Carnival celebration in France = "ON SE DEGUISERA POUR LE MARDI GRAS" ("We'll be dressing up for Mardi Gras.")
• Easter = "OU SONT CACHES LES OEUFS" ("Where are the eggs hidden?")
• Last Sunday in May = "BONNE FETE MAMAN" ("Happy Mother's Day, Mom!")
• May 31st = "L'ECOLE EST BIENTOT FINIE" ("School is almost over." Displays when most schools began Summer vacation at the time.)
• Third Sunday of June = "BONNE FETE PAPA" ("Happy Father's Day, Dad!")
• July 14th = "ALLONS ENFANT DE LA PATRIIIIEEE" ("Arise, children of the Fatherland." Displays on France's national celebration. Taken from the French national anthem "La Marseillaise", although "ENFANT" should be "ENFANTS" due to the plural grammar rule.)
• August 31st = "PREPAREZ VOS CARTABLES" ("Prepare your schoolbags." Referring to returning to school. Displays when most schools were ending Summer vacation at the time.)
• December 25th = "JOYEUX NOEL" ("Merry Christmas.")
• December 31st = "BONNE ANNEE" ("Happy New Year")
