Attachment There is a special encounter in which you come across a stone ring called the "Guardian of Forever."

If you pass through it, you are instantly transported into Vault 13, where you can find good loot, as well as come across a Computer Terminal with a "functioning water chip." You cannot leave this area until you interact with the computer. Doing this will make you accidentally break the Water-Chip giving you 1000 exp and the message "You have broken the water chip... the vault has maybe 100-150 days left of water. This comforts you for some reason."

This is a reference to the Sci-fi series Star Trek, specifically referencing the episode The City on the Edge of Forever. In it, Kirk, Spock and Doctor McCoy are transported into pre-WWII America and cannot return home until history is fixed, with the stone ring acting as a portal into the past.

This also suggests that the player (The Chosen One) is directly responsible for the beginning of the first Fallout game, in which the player (The Vault Dweller) has to go out and look for a new Water Chip to replace the broken one, having only about 100-150 days to do so.

In Chapter 7, when a hooded Mr. Saturn gives you back the Courage Badge, he says goodbye to the player and walks a few spaces offscreen where it is supposed to stop and disappear. However, due to a bug, he remains in that spot, just a few spaces away from the player. Itoi liked this bug, so he decided to keep it there and write some text for him.

If the player places 4th or 5th overall in a Grand Prix, they will be shown a cutscene where their character looks on at the winners, sadly drives off, and then gets blown-up by a Bob-Omb. The game then shows a message that says "What a Pity! You placed 4th/5th; Maybe next time!" Throughout the cutscene, the music changes from the standard fanfare to a more bleak version when the losing character drives off, and soon slows to a stop when the Bob-Omb appears.

If the player places in the top three, it's also possible to see the 4th place character in the distance for a brief moment, alluding to the hidden cutscene.

Attachment There is a special encounter in which you can find a place called the "Café of Broken Dreams."

The café is actually a copy of "Maltese Falcon" in the Hub from Fallout 1, and the name is likely a reference to "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", a short story written by Harlan Ellison where the main character sees dead people from the past.

Inside the cafe are five Vault character models, three of which talk about what past players did with them in Fallout 1, and two that are unplayable.

Set, Tandi and Dogmeat from Fallout 1 are in here as well. Dogmeat can be recruited if you show him your default Vault suit.

If you hurt Dogmeat, a character named "Mel" with an Australian accent in a leather jacket will appear and attack you. This is a direct reference to actress Mel Gibson who played Mad Max in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.

In the game, Travis' mentor is Thunder Ryu, a former professional wrestler turned Yakuza. Thunder Ryu shares a name with one of the many wrestlers in the game Fire Pro Wrestling, specifically Typhoon Dragon Thunder Ryu, who takes the place of real life wrestler Genichiro Tenryu, due to Fire Pro not having the rights to any actual wrestling federations. It's thought to be either a reference to the Fire Pro Wrestling, or the exact same character, due to the fact the developer, Goichi Suda, got his start in developing games with Super Fire Pro Wrestling 3 Final Bout, and Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special for the Famicom.

In the cave at Sunny Peak, there is a pedestal with what looks like a sword in it. To lift the "sword," the player must find a red, blue, and green marble to place in the pedestal. This is most likely a reference to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, in-which you have to do a similar thing to get the Master Sword. This is further backed up by having music similar to when you try picking up the Master Sword in A Link to the Past.

Snake's real name, David, was not a reference to his voice actor, David Hayter, as it was present in the Japanese script long before he was hired to provide Snake's voice. The name is instead a dual reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey and Policenauts.

In Otacon's ending, Snake gives Otacon his real name, and Otacon replies "I'm Hal, Dave." to which Snake jokes they should "take a trip to Jupiter", referencing the Stanley Kubrick 1968 movie and book 2001: A Space Odyssey which starred a main character named "David" Bowman and the famous supercomputer "HAL"-9000.

In Meryl's ending, Snake gives his real name to Meryl, who calls him "Dave". This is actually one of many references to Kojima's previous game Policenauts, in which Meryl Silverburgh was a member of the Beyond Coast Polices Vice unit, and was partnered with a young officer named "Dave" Forrest.
