There are a few different references in this game to other Interplay games.If you look closely at the man with the chips and wires coming out of his head on the opening screen, you'll notice a striking resemblance to William Gibson, author of the book that this game is based upon.Two examples appear in the screenshots: The bartender's (Ratz) description "His teeth are a webwork of East European steel." and the Cheap Hotel's description ".smells of cigarettes and cheap perfume." which, in the novel, describes the smell of the hotel's elevator. Several descriptions in the game have been taken from the novel's text. It was featured in instrumental versions on all platforms the game was released on, however on the C-64 a portion of the real song was actually sampled and used in the intro. The game's theme song is Some Things Never Change by long-lasting group Devo, from their 1988 album Total Devo.
