• Peasant's Quest - The game is a parody of King's Quest I, and it also contains numerous King's Quest references (for example, Rather Dashing is based on Gwydion/Alexander, the protagonist of King's Quest III and VI.
• The House that Gave Sucky Treats - The King of Town's subject line is "King of Town, Now Sit Down", a reference to "Hut of Brown, Now Sit Down", the phrase used to access a hut in Quest for Glory I.
• Email sisters - The numerous images of Ali and her sister are from the Leisure Suit Larry series.
• Email caper and Arcade Game - The floppy disk reads "Manhunter: New York".
• Puppet Time - The floppy disks read "King's Quest II" and "Police Quest II".
• Thy Dungeonman II - On the box, Thy Dungeonman holds a mop the same way Roger Wilco, the protagonist of the Space Quest series, does.
• Email technology - The floppy disk says "Gold Rush", an early Sierra game that is known for its multiple paths.
• Email pop-up - When the Tandy in the pop-up book says "Deleted" a second time, Strong Bad says "Police Quest". Also, the floppy disk says "Codename: Iceman", a Sierra game known for its frustrating difficulty.
