https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... abel_id=92 - Alexander Korolyov, Samara, Russia, coder from Stas Of Keladan.
Just for information: rules of cyrillic names transliteration are different in different countries. In 90-es many authors used transliteration without any rules.
That's why Evgeniy (modern) can be Eugene, Evgeny, Evgenij and so on.
Korolyov could be Koroljov, Korolev.
I'm not sure what to use for Alexanders. Alexander is basically Aleksandr in English.

Jet Ski Simulator isn't an "upgraded" version of
Jet Bike Simulator. It's a budget re-release of the CodeMasters Plus "mid-price" release. It's missing all the Coasts courses of the original because it's only on one tape.

Similarly,
BMX Simulator 2 is the budget re-release of
Professional BMX Simulator from CodeMasters Plus. This version has 10 circuits compared to the 15 on the double tape release.

We are ending the year, so, perhaps we can leave this thread a couple of months and then create a new one.

Dusk over Elfinton

The original release is listed as being Skyslip Software in 1986/1987
whereas the original release, as listed in the magazines and the inlay on file, was by Bandit Games in 1987. (The game is copyrighted 1986, but the inlay states 1987)
The Skyslip release came later. Magazine references seem to date that as about 1988. Note, Skyslip Software is originally referred to as Leisuretec in the magazine references (and other sources such as the Amstrad reviews) but they share the exact same postal address so are likely to be the same company.

The date of release for Crystal of Chantie should be 1985 not 1987.
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=6117
Although the 1987 date matches the associated magazine review, it was advertised multiple times in magazine classified sections from 1985 onwards. (Some of which are already linked to the game's page).
e.g. Sinclair User, July 1985 (second entry down)
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/mag.php ... 9&page=130
Furthermore, the author's own (archived) site says he wrote it prior to the other Pelagon Software titles.
https://web.archive.org/web/20141104060 ... /page3.htm
Presumably the 1987 on the loading screen corresponds with a specific re-release of the game, probably the edition that was reviewed in Your Sinclair.
[Edit: I've emailed the author to ask if there was an earlier edition of Chantie, perhaps programmed in a similar system to his other two games, before he made a version with GAC... That seems fairly likely to me and would explain the two dates.]

(left: Professional BMX Simulator, right: BMX Simulator 2)
Comments from old WoS indicate that
Professional BMX Simulator is an enhanced version of
BMX Simulator. Is this information wrong? It's only the enhanced version of
BMX Simulator 2, correct?
Also it says the "BMX Simulator" series titles are BMX Simulator, BMX Simulator 2, Professional BMX Simulator. Do you think it would be better to swap the order of the last 2 titles, or remove one of them from the series?
