Spielburg
Spielburg could also possibly be a pun on Spielberg. Also note that a "spiel" in English means a long talk/narration, and I'd be surprised if this was a coincidence. "Burg" literally means "castle", and thus is a suffix found in several German city names, for example Hamburg. "Game town" in German would be "Spieldorf" (game village) or "Spielstadt" (game town or game city). Not that any of this is essential... and I guess in the end only the developers could clear this bit of trivia up. -- Nils Jeppe 11:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, as the Baron is Stephan von Spielburg, and bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain famous director, I think this was an intentional play on words. --Brendan 16:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course it was. There a reference to Amblin Entertainment in the alley as well. -- Ex Nihilo

Goofs?
In a fantasy game with fantasy characters, dryads, talking foxes, magic, etc., it is not "out of place" for a centaur to appear in the game's setting (Spielburg). Centaurs are a staple in fantasy fictional works.

I would argue similarly for the use of/presence of Baba Yaga in Spielburg. She is a QG character that references the Slavic mythological character. There are no rules that she should appear strictly in a Slavic setting in order to be a "correct" reference.

I will not remove the comments from the article now, to allow opportunity for others to comment. -- Ex Nihilo

Dragon fight?
I never played the EGA version of this game, but if you have a look at this (old and rather nerdy) promo video here: you can see a battle with a dragon that looks like the one seen on the original box art. Was this cut from the VGA version or something? I played through that game twice recently and never fought any dragons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.106.60.228 (talk) 05:07, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * There is no dragon in the original game, it was saurus that the hero was fighting with in the promo video. Those were running in the forest. --Sapeli (talk) 13:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
