Syndicate/YMMV
- Crowning Music of Awesome: The tension music from Syndicate Wars.
- Most Wonderful Sound: The Persuadatron working its magic. The exact same sound has been inherited by the 2012 game.
- The minigun's short bursts of death. Again, inherited directly.
- The jingle that plays once you've finished a mission.
- Surprise Difficulty:
- The expansion pack, despite using the same map structure in the original game, is much harder than the original. You pratically need to memorize the map and in-mission events before you can even attempt to complete the level.
- Even more surprising is the very first thing that happens in the sequel, Syndicate Wars. Your one agent starts on a long exposed dock, and is immediately shot in the face with the most powerful weapon from the original game.
