he prision cells there is a poster of a girl. However, the poster is transperent and you can walk right through it. That reveals a hidden tunnel which leads out of the prision. Following the tunnel is a great deal of sewage. This is a reference to the movie/book "The Shawshank Redemption." Stephen King was the author of the book. The movie stared Tim Robbins and Morgan Freedman. Often times through out the game you'll see a girl trapped in some slime. She says "Kill Me" which is a reference to the movie "Aliens." The voice of this character is that of Colleen Compton, one of two female employees at Apogee/3D Realms. 6.2. O.J. Simpson In the beginning of level one a large billboard style sign over looks the area. The sign reads "Innocent ?" which is a reference to how some people feel on the O.J. Simpson verdict. The TV at the far end of the bar in level two shows a famous chase scence. On the TV is O.J. Simpson's white Bronco being chased by a police car. 6.3. Other Computer Games Perhaps the most unexpected reference you'll see is the space marine. He can be found behind the cross in the level three chapel. To get there, first, shot the glass to the left of the cross. Then, activate the switch on the altar. This will cause a hidden door to open behind were the glass once was and also turn the cross upside down. When you go through the door you'll soon be attacked by an octabrain. Once you defeat the octabrain, you'll be able to continue walking down the hidden tunnel. At the end is a person caught in green slime and also with his legs cut off. Duke's reaction is "That's one DOOMED space marine." Clearly a reference to ID's DOOM, which is probably the best known 3D action game. In level 5 there is a "Dopefish Lives" message on the bottom of the first pilar leading up to the space ship. The Dopefish a character that originally appear in the Commander Keen series. Those games were put out by Apogee and ID. A good arguement can be made that Apogee and ID's claim to early fame was the Commander Keen series. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.
