References

• This trophy is a reference to the song "99 Red Balloons" by Nena, released in the 80's (originally released in German as "99 Luftballons").
• The filename for the image, "in_a_little_toy_shop.gif," is also a reference to the first line of the English lyrics of the song: "You and I in a little toy shop, buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got..."
• The line "You hear a roar as fighter planes scramble from a nearby air base. 'This is it, boys. This is war.'" Is another reference to the song. The lyrics were about the balloons starting an international incident and described 99 fighter jets being dispatched after the balloons. In the original German lyrics the end result was 99 years of war.
