A reference to "Doom" can be found near the church in the level "Death Row". If you press the panel in front of the cross, the screen will become red tinted and a wall behind the left pane of stained glass will drop down. Following the path will reveal a bloody corpse of the protagonist from Doom. Duke will also comment, "That's one doomed space marine."

In the original versions, the babes kidnapped by the aliens were woven into cocoons and tied up on pillars. Pressing the action button in front of them will make them moan "Kill me...", which is a reference to a similar scene in the Alien franchise. In the Nintendo 64 version, the babes were covered up more (as they were either naked or only had underwear on), and could not be killed (which is how you "saved" them before). The action button now makes the disappear and the message "Babe saved!" is shown.
