On Alpha VMS 8.3:
$ Exit %x34b4
%SYSTEM-F-GAMEOVER, all your base are belong to us
$ write sys$output %x34b4
13492
$ exit 13492
%SYSTEM-F-GAMEOVER, all your base are belong to us
I wonder what the significance of the number 13492 is?

Well, besides the obvious (13492 decimal = 34b4 hex = 32264 oct), the only other significance I can see is that it was an available fatal error number in Starlet, right after NoShadowServer. It would be cool if there were some significance beyond that…
And a big thanks to Mark Stiles for thinking of the fans of interstellar conquest…
