Trivia
On March 31, 1995, The Chaos Engine was put on the infamous German index by the BPjS. For more information about what this means and to see a list of games sharing the same fate, take a look here: BPjS/BPjM indexed games.

In the console versions the Preacher was changed into a Scientist due to Sega and Nintendo having a policy of censoring any religious material in games for their consoles.
Shortly after the game's release, Renegade took out a full page advert in trade magazine CTW, which simply said "The Chaos Engine. So good, even that bastard Stuart Campbell liked it", referring to a British journalist who had a habit of not liking much-hyped games, including previous Bitmap Brothers titles Xenon 2 and Gods, but gave this one a great review. Ironically Campbell now works for CTW.
In both the SNES and Genesis versions of the game which are named "Soldiers of Fortune", the game's ending credits still call it "The Chaos Engine".

The original beta version (as seen on TV in many countries) was a THREE player game (not two)! What a great game that would have been!!
I just have to quote the manual addendum lying in the game box:
"Please note - In order to continue the time-honoured Bitmap Brothers tradition of mucking around with the password system at the last minute, The Chaos Engine now only awards passwords at the end of every world rather than after every Equipment Screen.
Sorry."
Forgiven! :D
