A few proposed corrections to the entry for Apocalypse:
1. It has an AKA that is not listed: "Apocalypse: The Game of Nuclear Devastation"
2. It was officially licensed from a boardgame by Games Workshop. No licence is shown in the entry (though there is a link to the relevelant Wikipedia page). I presume the licence should be listed.

3. The Command Software release is from 1987, not 1983.

4. Expansion packs are mentioned in comments. Should they not be included as part of a series?
5. The authors are listed in SC as "Dino" and "Joey", which is confirmed by the in-game credits. However, the Dino on SC is labelled "(Denmark)" and only otherwise associated with much later demos. The Dino behind Apocalypse was apparently based in England. They could be the same person, but I suspect two different people might have been conflated. Does anyone know more about who Dino and Joey were?
6. Dino and Joey are listed as working for Games Workshop. I think this is incorrect and should be deleted.
At some point they did work in the SLUG cooperative. Crash 9 suggests this was
after they worked for Red Shift, but that might not be entirely accurate:
"A series of problems at Red Shift earlier this year [198x] led to the departure of most of the programmers to the SLUG co-op."
SLUG did subsequently do work for Games Workshop, but it seems that at the time of Apocalypse's original release, there was no formal association.
The authors of Apocalypse are stated to be SLUG on the Talisman box, but this might be a retrospective rewrite:

(SLUG are also authors of Rebelstar Raiders according to the Talisman box, but are not listed in SC.)
6. The link to PCN p370 does not work (and I am fairly sure PCN never had 370 pages!):

7. The Your Computer link is also not working:
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/mag.php ... 6&page=134
8. The labels for the Crash magazine references are an inconsistent mixture: some say LivingGuide and some Review. They are all to the same Living Guide comment, so should have a consistent label.
