It is indeed in the
Risus and
Over The Edge family of games. (IIRC, I think these may even quoted as inspirations.) ZoZ and the other PDQ-based game have a little bit more structure (not crunch), and make starting characters more effective than basic
Risus.
For my part, although I enjoy
Risus, I like ZoZ (and other PDQ-based games) even more. I would certainly say it does not take the minimalism "to a fault", but that's personal preference too. If ZoZ is too light an engine for you, you might enjoy
Truth & Justice, which has more fiddly bits.
