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.
