The voice of the bomb (which is credited to "Kim Bread") is actually the voice of John Cleese, according to Douglas Adams. Adams said that Cleese was working for scale and they could not put his real name in the credits. Cleese had previously (and unsuccessfully) tried to get his name credited under this pseudonym in City of Death: Part Four (1979), also written by Adams.
Browsing the CD-ROM of the game reveals three endings, yet only two seem to be attainable. Many believe this is a joke played by The Digital Village on those who would "nose around" the disc in this way.
The idea for the story originated in Douglas Adams' 1982 novel "Life, the Universe and Everything". The original reference said that the Starship was one of the first large ships built with an Infinite Improbability Drive, so that it could have a safe journey. There it is said that the Starship actually exploded, and there is no reference to the "Sudden Massive Existence Failure".
A video message from Douglas Adams telling the player to "...Get on with it..." can be found at the begining of the game by clicking on the T.V. in the opening room.
