I only became aware of the '02 game after releasing this. So, there's no direct influence though they're both obviously influenced by the same source material. My choice of name was just a combination of an homage to Rogue and the nature of the game's premise. The '02 game is probably named Decker for the same reasons. If I had been aware of the earlier game by the same name when making this I almost certainly would have chosen a different name.

There's a reasonable chance I'll be renaming it for that reason, though I at least want to wait until 7DRL judging concludes because I'm concerned it'll cause confusion if I change the name while that is ongoing.

Hah, yeah, it's been an entirely obvious title choice for a game of this nature more or less ever since cyberdecks were a concept of note. I'm not surprised you hadn't heard of a little decades old freeware game, however neat the thing was at the time. Was just curious if it was a direct homage, heh.

Anyway, hope the judging goes well! I played the old decker a ton, the general concept can be pretty enjoyable.
