  • Trivia
  • All regular Underground Issues up until the first PS2 version came in 2-CD sets. One disc contained the Playable Demos, while the other contained the downloads, interviews, features, and more.


  • The "interactive" process of creating a game series, dubbed Project Wormhole: How to Make a Game, continues in this Issue with "Part 2: World Building Basics." Subscribers could e-mail or write in suggestions that were featured in the next episode. Here it shows off some weapons created by players. 


  • The Director Clipboard shown during the Behind the Scenes section flashes 4 sets of numbers, with one set having a red digit. That red digit number is EN05, which is a tribute to the original URNOTE ("You Are Not Ready"). EN05 backwards is "Sony [is] Ready".
