DreamWeb

Trivia

Censored version

In some countries, a "censored" CD version was released. One of the slight changes made was the assassination of David Crane. In the floppy and uncensored CD versions of the game, he is naked and having sex with a woman. In the censored CD version, however, he is wearing shorts.

Controversy

Make no mistake, this game is violent. It also became the focus of attention in '94 because it contained a single sex scene. It was banned for supposed 'sexualised violence' in Australia.

Manual

Dreamweb came with a manual called Diary of a Mad? Man including a diary with the thoughts and rantings of Ryan, the character you play. The diary also plays an important role in completion of the game since there are vital hints in it.

Soundtrack

An audio CD with the soundtrack was released in 95. It contains ten tracks, remixes, based on MODs, which were used in game.
