The background music playing during Pete's gladiator-style fight is taken directly from Star Trek (1966). It's the standard fight-scene music heard in almost every episode of the original series. In addition, when Pete and Claudia enter the virtual world for the first time, the music is based on the theme used in The Matrix (1999) when Morpheus is first showing that world to Neo.
In the game there is Carter's curse and the dagger of Josephine, both are characters from Eureka (Josephine/Jo Lupo and sheriff Jack Carter).
Claudia's ringtone is the red alert sound from Star Trek: TNG.
The slogan for Fargames, "Imagining Greater", is a parody of Syfy's slogan at the time, "Imagine greater".
