The typed instructions also attribute 'C64 CODE & GRAPHICS' to 'SONIC GRAFFITI', where they were attributed to 'DUNCAN KERSHAW' in the original instructions (and the credit for 'C64 MUSIC PLAYER' is missing).

All reviews are from November or December 1988, so the year of release should be 1988.

I'm assuming that Megus here and here are different people. Could anyone please confirm?

Re: Little bugs in the database 3
From what this article seems to say, this should be the page for Megus. Roman Petrov is not Megus, but someone who shares the same name as him. Also, they are apparently both from Russia (rather than Ukraine).
Edit: if this is the case, the credit for Chopper Duel should be changed to refer to Megus. Additionally, Roman Petrov (from Saint Petersburg, according to the wiki) who wrote Arcade Voleyball may be a different person from the other two.

As [mention]Ast A. Moore[/mention] says, the latest update of Yankee in Iraq (ID 30373) makes a few changes to classification that I didn't consider:Ast A. Moore wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 1:16 pm Oh, and I forget how we define machine type—as the very minimum requirement or as a subset of features—but Yankee now uses the AY chip for sound effects. So, perhaps, it should say “ZX-Spectrum 48K/128K” now and/or “Features: AY Sound”?
Minimum model should be 48K/128K
Also a member of the AY Sound group (group 1025), and redefinable keys (group 9005)

No rush, Dave.
Also noticed that 180 is listed as Features: AY Sound. Seriously doubt that a game from 1984 would feature that.
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Re: Little bugs in the database 3
Regarding groups, can I just add that there are a lot of details I never knew about (and some I tried not to think about!) when making new entries. It's best not to start reporting recent releases here for things like AY Sound and redefineable keys (let's do Yankee while it's fresh though). When I understand ZXDB structure better I'll go back over these (with help), but there are too many to do as normal bugfixes.
