* This game is a reference to the end of [[TV]]: ''[[The Age of Steel (TV story)|The Age of Steel]]'', where Mickey wonders "with all those Cyber factories out there, do you think they'll be one in Paris?". When Jake affirms, Mickey says, "Then, let's go and liberate Paris." Jake is sceptical but Mickey is eager to help out in the parallel Earth.

* [[GAME]]: ''[[Cyber Assault (video game)|Cyber Assault]]'' shows a different account of the liberation of [[Paris (Pete's World)|Paris]], in the game, Western Europe is Cyberman territory. In Cyber Assault, Base Attacks are used to destroy Emotional Inhibitors, a Preacher is sent to the factory and destroys the emotional inhibtor with his firearm, rather than transmitting the code. It is possible the Cybermen later retook Paris.
