When the esc key was pressed, a bar graph resembling the output of the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet application would instantly appear to hide the fact that the game was being played on company time.

In the fall of 1988, a virus contained in pirated copies of the game affected computers in Switzerland, West Germany, and England.
The annoying man named Ken, who tells Larry foolish jokes at Lefty's bar, is a parody of Ken Williams, the CEO of Sierra On-Line and the executive producer of the game.
