Connection With Dust: A Tale of The Wired West
Titanic: Adventure Out of Time is linked in some ways to another Cyberflix game, Dust.
- "Buick Riviera": In Dust, Riviera is a con artist in a remote town in the American Old West who keeps borrowing money from the player; in Titanic, Riviera is now a middle-aged man who spends his time playing blackjack on the doomed ship. If the player indicates having been to Diamondback, New Mexico (the setting of Dust), by saying, "Yes, we met at the Hard Drive Saloon", Riviera thereafter uses a special deck of cards marked with the logo of the saloon from Diamondback for the blackjack game.
- The actor who plays the photographer Eric Burns (Erik S. Quist) also appears in Dust as Farmer Quist.
- When talking with Haderlitz in the squash court while fencing, he mentions he is headed to study the Zuni Indian tribe in New Mexico, the setting of Dust.
- Before Max Seidelman meets you in the smoking room during the game, he says, "I've got to see a man about a horse", a phrase used by the Narrator in some of the endings of Dust.
- If you go to the dressing table in the Turkish bath (where there is a message written in steam) there are boxes for three Cyberfix computer games, Dust, Skull Cracker, and Jump Raven.
- A special feature of the game provides previews to three Cyberflix games, Dust, Skull Cracker, and Red Jack's Revenge (Later named, Redjack: Revenge of the Brethren)

Famous quotes containing the words connection with, connection, tale and/or wired:
“We should always remember that the work of art is invariably the creation of a new world, so that the first thing we should do is to study that new world as closely as possible, approaching it as something brand new, having no obvious connection with the worlds we already know. When this new world has been closely studied, then and only then let us examine its links with other worlds, other branches of knowledge.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“The connection between dress and war is not far to seek; your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Shams and delusions are esteemed for soundest truths, while reality is fabulous. If men would steadily observe realities only, and not allow themselves to be deluded, life ... would be like a fairy tale and the Arabian Nights’ Entertainments.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And these poor nerves so wired to the skull
Ache on the lovelorn paper....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
