The credits of the game are listed in the manual... András Császár shouldn't necessarily be included as he did the C64 version not the Spectrum one. There are potentially other names to add.

Also, re Eureka, there is this Big-K feature on the game, which mentions Katalin Matsa as having worked on the game (not sure which version)

Due to a recent update, a better inlay was added. But it seems the old one remains [golf(virgin).jpg]

There are quite a few corrections that I submitted in the first "little bugs" thread that have never been made. Is it worth me collating them and submitting them again?

Hi [mention]8BitAG[/mention],

I'm sure [mention]druellan[/mention] will give a definitive answer, but I would assume If they have not got the 'Reviewed' mark at the bottom that he is aware they have not been done yet. There is only [mention]druellan[/mention] reviewing these.

Keep posting them though. It's good good stuff.

PS. Enjoying your book by the way.

Hi! No, just leave them there, I need to revisit this thread, I'm right now busy with the missing information for Players Software Rorthron uncovered on the "Cover Artist" thread (*). Einar is also roaming the thread making fixes. We mark everything we are working on with a "Reviewed" tag, that way we can go back and check if we missed something.

I have also some old fixes I need to revisit that are currently marked as Reviewed but didn't make it into the database for some reason, like this one viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1425&p=28636#p28636 So, as soon I finish with Players I'm going to jump back here. In the meantime everything is documented here, it is just a matter of time but it will be added to the database.

(*) We are basically filling up everything we can find about the authors, based on the ingame credits and instructions, including teams, nicknames and roles:

Fair enough... with the information being submitted over a year and a half ago, I just presumed it had been overlooked.

Starstrike II

has re-releases from ZCobra of Spain and Cobra of Russia. Cobra's only other releases were in 1997, so this is probably an error.

Hi [mention]Alone Coder[/mention],

Can you recommend an emulator which has support for these machines such as the ATM (ATM Turbo)?

This fix is already in the database. It refers to The Crystal of Chantie (BASIC) released in 1985, and The Crystal of Chantie (G.A.C.) released in 1987.

Yes, as Einar says, that post was later followed up with this one viewtopic.php?p=28954#p28954 when Gary Power confirmed that he made one version of the game in BASIC and one using GAC. http://8bitag.com/info/pelagon.html

Author request for Empareja 35780.

Change the author to 'Eddie The Wild' (4203), his nickname.

Add comment "A preliminary version was submitted to Bytemaniacos 2006 BASIC Contest."

(This is because the downloadable file will be replaced by a slightly different one).
