The seldom seen "computer room" at Robin's Nest is used for the amusing opening scene. The space computer game that Magnum is seen playing, "Siege of the Seventh Galaxy", is fictional. Similiar to the "Dungeon Master" game seen in "Little Games" (5.12), the game graphics seen on-screen are not from a real game. It is actually a mock animation sequence made to look like a real computer game. Interestingly, the computer game cover that is briefly seen in the episode is identical to the now classic 1986 space exploration role-playing game Starflight, but with the words "Starflight" replaced with "Siege of the Seventh Galaxy".
