Other Facts
- The playable character, Frank Carlson, was the name of a real-life ticket-holder of the Titanic. However, on his way to the dock in Cherbourg, France, his car broke down and he never actually received the chance to board the liner. His name remained on the passenger list.
- There was a real jewel-encrusted copy of the The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám on the Titanic. It was won at an auction and was being shipped to New York. The book remains lost at the bottom of the Atlantic to this day.
- Some earlier versions of the game allow for the recovery of required game items out of order, thus shifting the sequence of events to unforeseen endings. It is possible, for instance, to obtain the rare painting from the ship's hold before it is even discussed or mentioned by the game characters. Another rare occurrence occurs if using the game's "teleport" function to move between rooms, at one point by-passing a puzzle involving a set of diamonds and thus possessing a fake diamond set, and the real diamonds, at the same time (something not intended to happen during normal gameplay).
- In the German version of the game, Adolf Hitler is not mentioned as any references to Nazism would conflict with Germany's censorship laws.

Famous quotes containing the word facts:
“In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“But lest I should mislead any when I have my own head and obey my whims, let me remind the reader that I am only an experimenter. Do not set the least value on what I do, or the least discredit on what I do not, as if I pretended to settle any thing as true or false. I unsettle all things. No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker with no Past at my back.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
