Re: Escape from EXODRON
I just noticed something weird. These are examples of MK1 logo in other games: https://i.ibb.co/1MYN4tB/Alien-Girl.png https://i.ibb.co/1rk34j2/Coloco.png https://i.ibb.co/KLZKKLr/Pirate-Captain-Creed.png https://i.ibb.co/fty3Fbh/TheCult.png Now compare with this: https://i.ibb.co/VWwjHC9/Exodron.pn...

Re: Coincidence!
It's not a coincidence when the same person creates a screen, and later decides to use it in a game!
