In 1987 film ''[[:wp:Dragnet|Dragnet]]'' two cops are involved in investigating a crime. The crime gang is ran by a reverend, who has a voice similar to Cris Formage's. All members of the gang are in a cult, and perform a number of weird rituals throughout the movie. In certain scenes a quiet background music can be heard, identical to the one on the Epsilon Program website. The movie is shot in Los Angeles and some scenes are shot near the observatory - which is sometimes linked with Epsilon in the game. The short scene from the movie featuring both reverend's voice and the music can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWkm713fH-s here]. | In the 1987 film ''[[:wp:Dragnet|Dragnet]]'' two cops are involved in investigating a crime.

The game takes place in the year 1992; as Cris Formage says that the Earth is 157 years old, that would put its creation at 1835. The supposedly-recent creation of the earth as insisted by the program also alludes to the Young Earth creationism beliefs, in which people who believe in it claim that the Earth is much younger than what scientists state. | The game takes place in the year 1992; as Cris Formage says that the Earth is 157 years old, that would put its creation at 1835.
