List of which games are inspired by which others?

[FizzMan]

Such as Pilot Quest having Zelda vibes, Bushido Ball = Bushido Blade, Vainger = Metroid, Hot Foot = Super Dodgeball, Kick Club = Bubble Bobble.

[RatherDashing]

Paint Chase = Crush Roller
Bushido Ball = Wind Jammers
Elfazar's Hat = Pocky and Rocky
Rakshasa = Ghost and Goblins
Pilot Quest = Zelda + Toe Jam & Earl
Magic Gardem = Snake + Pacman
Grimstone = Dragon Quest
Caramel Caramel = Prodius
Porgy = Steam World Dig
Valgress = Kid Icarus + Downwell
Kick Club = Bubble Bobble
Veingar = Metroid + Metal Storm
Campanela 2 = Spelunky + Blaster Master
Campanela 3 = Space Harrier
UFO50 = Retro Game Challenge / Action 52

Of course Fist Hell is like Streets of Rage, that's an obvious one.

Magic Garden is like Snake crossed with Pac-Man, but it's pretty unique in its own right.

Campanella 2 has a bit of Blaster Master going on, with the ability to exit your ship and explore on foot.

The gravity gimmick of Vainger reminded me a lot of Metal Storm.

The dungeon style of Valbrace is very reminiscent of old dungeon games such as Wizardry, Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, Shining in the Darkness - it was a whole genre.

You are forgetting Cassette50, which was released way before those two.

Ahhh yes windjammers makes perfect sense, yeah was getting pocky and rocky vibes from Eflazar's Hat also, LOVE the strafe shooting!

Bug Hunter = 868-HACK

[WanderingHero]

Fist Hell feels like several different beat em ups in a blender. Predominantly double dragon but I swear that kraken boss is a ripoff of shredder for the snes turtles in time

I'm not sure I see how Bushido Ball is much like Bushido Blade at all.

[Yuga-Suggah]

Mortol is Lemmings and Lemmings 2 for me

[Name]

Combatants = Sim Ant vibes
Star Waspir = Mario Paint: Fly Swatter
Pilot Quest = Pikmin Series

Lolz the name for starters XD
The theme and clutch gameplay, I would say that that one is more a combination of a host of games.

[Darth Fethry]

Technically it's not a game but the Garden screen is most likely inspired by Little Computer People. Also, Night Manor owes a lot to Icom Simulations' Macventures series (Deja Vu 1 & 2, Shadowgate and Uninvited).

[sebinjapan]

Attacktics = Plants vs Zombies
Barbuta reminds me of Montezuma's Revenge and The Maze of Gallious
Ninpek = Sonson
Velgress = Kid Icarus
Planet Zoldath = Toe Jam and Earl

I'd say Bushido Ball is more like Pong + Tennis.

Yes, just in name and theme alone.

Barbuta = Burgertime (among others like Metroid or Prince of Persia)

The character looks like it has a chef's hat, ladders function the same way and the score graphic looks like a burger sandwich.
