Hi. Make sure you include music authors on Jaime Grilo's games.
Also the first game fro 2008 seems to be one from Luca Bordoni announced on the AGD facebook group.
My 2017 collection lacks two titles, the rerelease from Alessandro Grussu and Pink Pills announced on WoS. The last update will be at the end of January and I'll be good to go. I recommend you take a look at my tag "unlisted" (by zxdb) from time to time.

Hi,

I am not sure where to post this so I am trying here, feel free to move this into better section (if any exist).

Terrapins should go to category Arcade Game: Maze instead of Arcade game: Platform https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30430

The same goes for Sorceress 2: The Mystic Forest it should be Arcade Game: Maze instead of Arcade game: Platform https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30431

Cheers!

e.

P.S. I see there is much more of these, I will try to make a list.

Hi. Sorceress 2 looks to me like an Arcade: Adventure, sort of Sabre Wulf

Pietro Bros has been updated.
I may sound a bit negative here but I got completely confused with all these versions of Pietro Bros.

It was a great game from the very start. But later Christian started doing dozens of updates which removed some bugs but introduced new ones or removed some features that you actually liked.

Now you have all these versions circulating somewhere and it's like version 1.21 has something that 1.35 doesnt have and vice versa and which one should I play?

But of course, include in the database the latest one as the author's choice. End of my rant ;)

^^^
This latest Pietro Bos is the same as the cassette version. I've been playing the NES original game. You can choose when Mario lands into the game after losing a life. Pietro respawns automatically so sometimes you cannot avoid bumping into enemies when starting. Mario brakes fast when you hold up keys. Pietro gets far more slippery and you barely can control this slipping. I would suggest the author to take a look at Dead Flesh Boy where controls make a difference to manage inertia.
