Trivia / Dikembe Mutombo's 4½ Weeks to Save the World

Go To

  • Bury Your Art: Old Spice took the game down because it presumes that the player is familiar with a number of events that happened in 2012, including the South Korean dance craze caused by PSY's "Gangnam Style", voting irregularities in the U.S. election, the closing of Hostess Foods, the glut of vampire-themed teen movies being released in that year, Kate Middleton's pregnancy, the 40th anniversary of Pong, and the U.S. fiscal cliff situation.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Fan backups are the only way to play this game since Old Spice removed it from their website.
  • The Other Darrin: There are two lines in the game ("Hostess gone? This is for sure, the end of the world." in stage 2 and "Hey, that's me!" in stage 5) that are read by someone that is clearly not Dikembe. These lines actually were rerecorded by Dikembe and put into the version of the game that had the ending cutscene (The latter line even has his usual vowel slurring, and the vowels were actually extended in the text to reflect it). Unfortunately, that version of the game wasn't archived. For proof of the former line being rerecorded, see here. For proof of the latter, see here.
