 As in many LucasArt games, this game features several references to  _Star Wars (1977)_ (qv). Most obvious are the calendar with the  Darth Vader picture in Dr. Freds office (if you look at it, Bernard  remarks that "its a calendar from my favorite movie"); Bernards  exclamation while reading the dates off the quarters he is picking  up ("Ooh! 1977!" The year of Star Wars release); the Stormtrooper  helmet in the room where Bernard finds Green Tentacle; and several  lines of dialogue (e.g. "Help us, Dr Edison. Youre our only  hope!").
