Hi all,
I've completed Mean Streets now (twice!) and I have also recorded a neat longplay of it which I will be putting on my YouTube channel soon..
Question though!
I was wondering if there are any easter eggs in this game.. You know.. The type where you can say random/weird things and you'll get a funny response off the people?

Here's one for ya: Blaze Wiener.
You find a reference to him in Carl Linsky's room as a student who did poorly on his psych test and afterwards threatened Prof. Linsky. If you visit Blaze, you'll find that he has nothing useful to tell you. If you ask him what's in the sandwich he's eating, he'll tell you it's a red herring.

However, if you mean "Easter Egg" in the sense of overt pop-culture references, I'm afraid I don't know of any.

I never played Mean Streets before, and i'm not that far along.
The only reference i found so far was the statue of the Maltese Fruitcake (lol) which is a reference to the statue of The Maltese Falcon, key center piece in John Huston's movie with the same name (1941) with Humphrey Bogart, who plays the role of Sam Spade, a Private Investigator .
If i find anything more i'll post here. Oh, and be sure to post a link to the lp :)

I found this one also :D. I will post a link to the LP.. But I don't talk on my LPs because I've got the wrong cable in the wrong place in my machine xD. I'm too lazy to fix it :).

In Greg Call's laboratory, there is a robot that looks similar to B-9 from Lost in Space. If you turn it on, it says "DANGER DANGER! WARNING WARNING!" in reference to B-9.

If you type in "pong" as password in any of the computers, you can play pong and earn 10 dollars per point. But its quite hard to win^^

The robot in Greg Call's lab who says "Danger, danger" sounds an awfully lot like the robot in Lost in Space who warns Will Robinson of "danger."

There are also a few points during the game when the game tells you that you have real psychological issues if you attempt to lick certain objects (a blow-up doll and a corpse, if I recall), which seems fair.
