Also worth noting that this sort of "The End... Or Is It?" twist would already have been a recognizable pulp adventure cliche when they were making the game. Combined with the "it was all a dream" twist before that and the full "Empire Strikes Back" gag that led up to it, there's a degree of overt silliness to the ending that people tend to set aside when trying to determine the true underlying reality of the story. But in a sense, the overt silliness is the underlying reality of it all.

In an old article I tried to argue that CMI, EMI and TMI do a pretty conscientious job of keeping the theme park innuendos of the first two games perpetuated.
I'm a huge fan of theme parks, and it's always a blast discovering those clever allusions and references that the creators sneak into the rides and attractions. It adds an extra layer of fun to the whole experience. I'd love to hear more about your favorite allusions in theme parks!
