References
- This refers to the song "Zombie" by The Cranberries. "What's in your head, in your head / Zombie" The cranberries that you get from the fight also refer to the band's name.
- "Remember the Alamo" was a common warcry during the Mexican-American War.
- The fumble message is a reference to the movie Land of the Dead, specifically the vehicle called Dead Reckoning.
- He gets into a tank (one loaded with bombs, bombs, and guns) refers again to the song Zombie "With their tanks and their bombs / And their bombs and their guns."
- The critical hit message references the fact that zombies behave differently in different movies. Specifically, in Night of the Living Dead zombies were slow and shambling, whereas in Return of the Living Dead they were fast and vaguely intelligent. This may also be a reference to Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction, in which zombies with giant swords walk like other reanimated corpses, but they have the Charge skill, meaning they can rush the character and attack in the same action.
