Attachment Several scenes, mostly involving abortions and anal probing, were censored in the European console releases. Instead of simply removing the scenes, these sections of the game are replaced by a picture of Michelangelo's David face-palming in front of a European flag, with descriptive text of what the scene would have entailed.

The scenes are also censored in the Australian release, and instead feature a picture of a crying koala.

The PC release, however, was only censored in Germany, Austria, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong & Taiwan, with all other regions, including the UK, receiving the uncensored version.

There was originally going to be a mission that took place during Mary Read and Anne Bonny's last battle before they were captured, which would have also lead to Edward being captured. However, the developers thought that the player had already spent enough time in Nassau (where the battle was to take place) and the mission was dropped.

Attachment Sally from the Mothership Zeta DLC makes references to a fictional pre-war show called 'Captain Cosmos', which itself features classic Star Trek references, such as "All systems normal, Captain!" and "Captain on the bridge!"

She also mentions a female 2nd officer, saying "Stella Skyfire reporting for duty! She's Captain Cosmos' second in command, at least for the first few episodes..."
This is in reference to the original, unaired pilot episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, "The Cage", in which Captain Pike has a female lieutenant who is second-in-command, simply referred to as "Number One". NBC rejected this pilot and requested a new pilot episode, ultimately making her role as second officer last for only one episode.

Another notable reference is the time slot 'Captain Cosmos' airs at, which was Thursdays at 8:00PM EST, according to leftover posters in the Hubris Comics building. Star Trek:ToS aired on the same day but at 8:30PM EST.

Hidden in the game are a number of excerpts from real books. Among these books are "The Man Who was Thursday" by G.K. Chesterton (whose plot coincides with the plot of the game) and "The Eye of Argon " by Jim Thies (considered to be the worst Sci-fi genre book of all time).

Attachment Fang the Sniper, called Nack the Weasel in the English release of Sonic Triple Trouble and various English-language comic books, originally wielded a realistic gun. However, this was considered too violent for the Sonic series, and was changed to a cork-shooting popgun during development of his debut game, Sonic Triple Trouble.

The Playboy magazines scattered throughout the game are all anachronistic; the game takes place between 1945 and 1951, but Playboy Magazine was not founded until 1953, and the images placed in the game were published between 1958, seven years after the end of the game, to 1968, seventeen years after the end of the game. The 19 Playboys added in the DLC "Joe's Adventures" range from 1960 to 1969, with a single image added from 2007, fifty-six years after the setting's era.
