451 first appears as a door code in System Shock (1994), in reference to the Ray Bradbury book, Fahrenheit 451. After this, it was set as the keypad door code to Looking Glass Studios' Cambridge, Massachusetts office as 0451. Since then, the code in either form has appeared in many games as a nod to System Shock, Looking Glass Studios' games, or the Immersive Sim genre.
