Operation Tire has a C64 loading screen, and until Strong Bad got his
Lappy 486, the screen font was also a Commodore font. This font was
actually used in a lot of the other mini-games too.
The Stinkoman 20X6 game seems to be modeled on SNES titles. They also
have a QuickTime video of an early Homestar animation with Mario Paint.
