References you've found
There's a lot of references in this game, I wanna know how many y'all have found.

The "Do you want to End it all?" Ad by Heskel uses icons used in the Exit screen of Rise of the Triad.
Also, the grenade launcher bounce sound reminds me a lot of the Quake Grenade Bounce sound.

Note: I'm intentionally omitting some of the more obvious ones, like Addictive Soda and Caco Bell.

I'm sure most of you know there's a Duke Nukem shop dummy in the store just before episode 2's giant robot fight, but if you go into the store via a nearby airduct and interact with it Shelly will make fun of Duke too.

I know this one is obvious, but I really got a laugh out of "Thy Flesh Consumed" movie posters
Part of it was that the fictional MPAA apparently rated it NC17

More on topic, there's also a bunch of Trump voting posters in the skyboxes, just with the U replaced with an A

More specifically, I believe it's a reference to a certain cheat code for Duke Nukem 3D, though I don't remember what it does.

This poster first appeared within the art file for IM EAP v4. Although we hadn't seen it used in the game publicly until the release of the Full Version 1.00.

The poster reads:
TRAMP
MAKE AMERICA FELLATE AGAIN!
The same goes for the 3D Realms game poster for "Monuments of Mars".

I don't have a screen shot at the moment, but I'm fairly certain that one of the pieces of paper (that you would typically find on a desk somewhere) is a TPS Report from "Office Space".

Graffiti: YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME WITH PARAMECIUM ALONE

Duke Nukem 64
An Easter Egg or developer in-joke reference to Forgotten Worlds on the TG16.

Source: https://tcrf.net/Duke_Nukem_64

=======================
Original Line: “You cannot stop me with paramecium alone!”

The nameless dude from Forgotten Worlds has a lot going for him, like cool shades and the ability to fly. Unfortunately, a truly impressive taunt is not among his assets. Paramecium? Maybe he should graduate to taking on multicellular organisms before he gets too cocky. At the same time, the sheer oddness of the boast makes it memorable and hilarious.

Will someone make a guide out of this? That'd be great.

There are freeway exit and street signs for the following:
Dandleton Ave.
Bonzales
Dugnutt St.
McDichael
Sernandez

These are all in reference to a 1994 Japanese baseball game named "Fighting Baseball" for the SNES:

The FULL Fighting Baseball (SNES) Rosters: More Than Just Bobson Dugnutt
If you're not familiar with Fighting Baseball, it's a ~1994 Japanese baseball game. In the West, it was known as MLBPA Baseball and featured all the correct players, due to its MLBPA license. In Japan, however, they did not have the MLBPA license, and so they had to make up fake Americanish names. Thirteen years later, somebody noticed this and posted a compilation of names, bringing the game back into the public eye to some extent. This featured all-time legendary names such as Karl Dandleton, Todd Bonzalez, Sleve McDichael, and Bobson Dugnutt.

But what I think a lot of people didn't realize when they saw that is that those aren't the only fake player names in the game. The original tweet doesn't really indicate that there are more players, it has a weird title 'Fighting Baseball' which doesn't sound like a normal baseball game, there's effectively no footage of it on the internet, and it's probably older than the average Reddit user. However, this is an MLB game in every way but name, and so there are 28 teams of 25-man rosters, all with names of similar construction and similar levels of Engrish. As far as I know, up until now, nobody has ever compiled a list of all of the players.

So I now present to you, for the first time ever on the Internet, the FULL rosters for Fighting Baseball for the SNES!

I also compiled 40 of the best names into two All-Star teams for your viewing pleasure, if you don't want to trawl through the spreadsheet looking for interesting ones.

There is a sign that reads:
RESTRICTED AREA
Hey stupid a**hole! Quit
standing here reading this
sign and get the f**k out!

Also, there is a sign that refers to "DOOR SAFETY", and at the bottom right corner of the sign it mentions "BUILD ENGINE".

... and a wanted poster with Richard Gobeille's name on it.
