Trivia

• The forklifts follow scripted paths and are all driven by an identical model known as Gus, based on a janitor from one of the developer's high schools.
• The brand of the forklifts, Haihan, is named after the same developer's wife.
• In the expansion pack Blue Shift (2001), Gus and his forklifts can again be seen during the opening tram ride.
• In the PlayStation 2 exclusive co-op expansion Decay (2001), Gus makes a cameo on an info-screen with motivational text for workplace safety.
