WoS included Mastervision as the re-release company instead of Mastertronic. It seems it's been fixed in SC considering the second as the correct re-release company, as both inlay and instructions mention Mastertronic, not Mastervision. But the tzx filename wasn't changed.PeterJ wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 7:07 pm Journey's End
The TZX is wrong named as 'JourneysEnd(Mastervision).tzx.zip', when it should be Mastertronic.
Similar to Jhothamia 6 (1987) first published in compilation Out of This World vol 1, which since it includes Arlene cannot be from before 1991?8BitAG wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:32 pm I'm confused by the entry for The Tree Stones...

It lists the original publisher as The Guild, but the date of publication is given as 1987 and The Guild did not exist until 1991.
A different Guild? Or not published by the Guild at all? I can find no references or paper trail anywhere else to indicate where the Guild publishing reference came from. The game is also not featured in any of The Guild's advertising. It seems doubtful that it would have been sold in its current state, as it features some atrocious spelling mistakes.
References in the game suggest that it might have been distributed over Prestel. The author has a Prestel mailbox, anyway.
From what I remember, all the games on those Guild compilations had previously been published/distributed elsewhere, or at least were created much earlier than the Guild was established. I've submitted a lot of date corrections in the past for titles like that but I can't recall where I got up to and, I have to admit, just stopped sending any more corrections due to the backlog.Stefan wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 11:28 pm Similar to Jhothamia 6 (1987) first published in compilation Out of This World vol 1, which since it includes Arlene cannot be from before 1991?

According to old WoS archives, Omega Software became Alpha Omega, then later Alpha Omega became The Power House.StooB wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 1:31 pm Omega Software wasn't founded by Alpha Omega, but by CRL, Anirog and Silversoft in 1984.
Alpha Omega wasn't founded by The Power House, but by CRL in 1986. Alpha Omega was relauched as The Power House in 1987.
There's no evidence that Omega became Alpha Omega. There's a second magazine reference that also calls Alpha Omega a "new" label. Alpha Omega's address was the same as CRL's address (Carpenters Road, London), but Omega's wasn't - they were located at 121 London Road, Knebworth (which is where Central Solutions moved to in 1986, but I haven't found any connection between Omega and Central either yet).Einar Saukas wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 5:02 pmAccording to old WoS archives, Omega Software became Alpha Omega, then later Alpha Omega became The Power House.StooB wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 1:31 pm Omega Software wasn't founded by Alpha Omega, but by CRL, Anirog and Silversoft in 1984.

However the magazine reference suggests that Omega Software and Alpha Omega are not directly related (except both founded by CRL).
Are you sure the latter information is more accurate?
