Hi Dworgyn and everyone else at KI! I was playing some minigames for the fun of it and realized that a lot of these games are like the old home console classics (Dig Dug, Panel De Pon/Tetris Attack, etc.).

Skull Riders and Dueling Diego seem to be more general platformers, but were they based on/inspired by any specific games too?

Skull Riders is a direct copy of the classic 80's arcade game Joust that also made it's way to home consoles like the others mentioned.
