Strange Names

[Joefish]

Seems a bit peculiar that noted naturalist and author Gerald Durrell has an entry in ZXDB, unconnected to anything Spectrum related...

Should something not be generating links then?

That game has a reference to the book, but that doesn't give a link to the author / IP-Owner entry in the database.
And the page I linked to doesn't link to anything related to that entry.

And if I search for 'Durrell' it just gives me that author / IP-owner page, not the book or the game.

Interesting. I assumed it was an natural history tie-in for some educational software.

Then I wondered if it was an almighty cock-up and he somehow got confused with Durell software! He could have ran his own software label I suppose, when he wasn't busy gallivanting around the globe tickling badgers.

Agreed! The site search should also be considering inspirations and licenses.
