How did I never know about this? Where did this discovery originate? (The first post here assumes it's common knowledge, but this is news to me.) Jazz does seem to reference a lot of other games intentionally, I wonder how much of this is intended as homage (benefit of the doubt), or whether there is actual plagiarism in some of the tiles and sprites. The lion king stuff, especially, looks too eerily similar - if you put a Jazz sprite in there I wouldn't realize it was a different game! It's kind of crazy how little actually seems to be original... Is there a news story about all this?
