Other appearances and homages
Many subsequent [[Wikipedia:first-person shooter|first-person shooters]] implemented similar weapons, but few were quite as notorious as the BFG9000. In addition, due to its reputation, the BFG has been referenced or parodied in many other places:
* [[Wikipedia:Quake II|Quake II]] and [[Wikipedia:Quake III Arena|Quake III]] both include the [http://quake.wikia.com/wiki/BFG10k "BFG 10K" ] (the latter game's version was copied by [[Skulltag]]). In Quake II, the projectile sprites are exactly the same as Doom's.
* [[BFG 9000 (Doom_3)|Doom 3 also includes the BFG 9000]], though the weapon acts closer to the Quake II BFG 10K than the original.
* The BFG also appears in [[Doom RPG]], where it is named ''BFG-9000''.
* A player can purchase a BFG in the MMORPG [http://www.thecrims.com/ The Crims], although it is not the most powerful weapon available.
* In the Inspection training mission of [[Wikipedia:MechWarrior 2|MechWarrior 2]], one of the boxes has an inspection reading of BFG9000.
* [[Wikipedia:Half-Life: Opposing Force|Half-Life: Opposing Force]] featured a nearly identical weapon called the [http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/DisplacerDisplacer], which even shared the same explosion sprite. It also allowed the player to teleport themselves to a hidden bonus area (provided they had sufficient ammunition).
* In [[Wikipedia:Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire|Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire]], a technology called String Resonance is referenced internally as "BFG9000".
* [[Wikipedia:Facebook|Facebook]]'s "Pets" application, in which you control battling rabbits, includes a weapon named the "BFG2000".
