Multigames

Bergervoet is a Dutch fellow who goes under the developer name Multigames. In 1998, probably about two or three years after RSD pulled support for Game-Maker, he found the software and threw together a few games. For his inspiration... Strictly speaking, everything in his games is original. He drew all his own sprites and tiles, and seems to have recorded most of his own sound effects. It’s just that his games seem to be strongly inspired by other, existing games.

There’s nothing unusual about that, of course. Without Mario Bros. we wouldn’t have Bubble Bobble. Without Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble, we might not have a casual game industry. What is perhaps unusual is that both of his known games seem to be obviously based on A-J Games designs.
