The real-life Edward Kelley was an alchemist who worked for the Queen during the time. However, he was arrested by the Roman Empire for failing to create gold and died in prison. The Kelley met in the game is a homunculus created by John Dee months after the original's death. In the second visit to the Tower of London, before the boss, there are clones who have the same memorandum as the first one.

"I am the hollowed man. I am the hollowed man. Many times I've died. Many times rose again."

This is the first Leisure Suit Larry game that had no involvement with series creator Al Lowe. According to Lowe, the game was nothing like the original series that he created. He even criticized that it was announced as a 'Leisure Suit Larry' title when Larry Laffer (the main character from the original series) himself wasn't the main character, the mini games that were in it, and the fact it wasn't an 'adventure game' like the other games of the series:

"It is not Larry 8! Even though VU [Vivendi Games] calls it a "Leisure Suit Larry game," Leisure Suit Larry's only role is a cameo as the "help voiceover." It is not an adventure game. There are no real puzzles, no interactive dialog, no narrator, no character development, and nearly no plot. Much of the dialog is uninspired and trite. There's more profanity in the first scene than in all the previous Larry games combined. Women cuss like sailors. The "F" word is repeated so often the writers must have used a macro. The plentiful load screens show cheesy photographs of average-looking college-aged women who don't look sexy, but rather, ill-at-ease!

The protagonist is a loser named Larry who has trouble scoring with women. The game works hard, usually too hard, to reference earlier Larry games. Like Larry Laffer, it seems to desperately want to fit in. The animation is 3D and wonderfully jiggly. (Actually, "pendulous" would be a better word; most of these breasts are too large to jiggle.) There's some humorous dialog. And it's more than bawdy enough.

But… All this ignores the glaring disaster of those damned mini-games! They're distracting, repetitive, and boring. Who wants to play lame arcade games that wouldn't be fun even on a GameBoy? Not even this game's giant breasts are worth this slog. MCL is definitely unlike the other Larry games.

Those who seek 3D boobs, profanity, and fart jokes will be pleased. Those who fondly remember my games will be severely disappointed."

Lowe later stated that playing Manga Cum Laude felt like "receiving a video from my son's kidnappers.":

"On one hand, you're glad he's still alive but its like, 'Oh God, what are they doing to him!' And it just pained me to watch it happen. You know I put ten years of my life into that guy and he was very good to me."

Despite speculation to the contrary, Sawada is unarmed in the game. The "katana" shown was intended at the time to be a "motion blur"; given a conflict between the two Capcom branches, however, flicker transparency was not applied and it was instead left solid. His slashing attacks were intended to have an ethereal appearance to them, akin to the Hadoken. The designers argued for the flicker effect but were instead denied, and as a result opted for a look based on Mortal Kombat's effects at the time.

The execution emote "No Touching" used by the Valkyrie hero was altered soon after its inclusion in December, 2017, as it was deemed by Ubisoft to be considered insensitive. The execution, which originally had the enemy collapse onto the Valkyrie with their hands landing on her breasts, was changed to have them instead blocked by her shield when collapsing onto her.

A spokesperson for Ubisoft told Kotaku that the original execution "included an inappropriate gesture between the Valkyrie and her opponent. We felt it was insensitive content and thus changed the execution." [The execution was], "incorrectly made available in-game and removed within an hour of release,"

In 1999, Bits Studios developed a Die Hard game for the Nintendo 64 called Die Hard 64. It was going to be published by Fox Interactive, but the game was never actually shown to the press or the public, only being documented in magazine articles of the era until gameplay footage was shown by a former employee of Bits Studios on February 27th, 2017.

According to said former employee, the release was cancelled because it was late within the N64 life cycle.

The game was quietly scrapped, as the team decided to focus more on developing a video game based off of the then upcoming Pixar movie Toy Story.

Only one prototype of the game exists, and it only has one level.
