Both are tie-up on the comments. Really not sure about this one. "Compilation" is also not strictly correct. I'll leave the group for now, renamed as "The Graphic Adventure Creator Package". I'm also adding a quick comment.was published on the GAC game tape so would be better connected via a compilation rather than a group.
Each trilogy has their own group, so, a group to group the trilogies, looks kind of redundant. Removed.These are the Level 9 trilogies... Not sure if they need a group?
Might be interesting to have this into a "series" of sort, but we lack some information on the database, for example, if all the covers where similar.Central Solutions Double-Siders [I don't think they had an official title, but a review uses the term double-siders which is quite fitting given the cassette inlays]
I'd like to keep this, since the games are so visually similar and the mechanics pretty unique. Let's call it "Tartan Split-Screen Adventures'", (I think there is no need to go more specific). I'm also going to add this comment: "Tartan software and Tom D. Frost produced a series of text adventures featuring an unique double-text area, allowing the player to control two characters at the same time."Tartan Split-Window Adventures [or Split-Screen... although that's confusing as lots of games are split-screen horizontally; perhaps 'Tartan Vertical Split-Screen Adventures']
There is a Freescape group already. I don't see much value to have this one, specially because one of the compilations is by Domark and kind of unrelated.8BitAG wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 12:56 pm These are the Freescape games...

...or rather compilations of Freescape games as individual games haven't been added to the group.
Yeah, sadly we don't have much information about those, and the publication year seems to be very sparse.8BitAG wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 12:56 pm There seems little point to this group containing Compass Software double game tapes?

The handbook *does* need its own entry. It wasn't just available as part of a promotion it was available as a separate product, as noted in the news pieces and the advert linked to. It's also featured in several adverts in Adventure Probe. What other info are you after? We have the date of publication and other information from the actual copy of the handbook that is on the site already.

No, that wouldn't be an accurate comment... as the games don't always involve you controlling two characters at the same time. Or even two characters.druellan wrote:I'd like to keep this, since the games are so visually similar and the mechanics pretty unique.

Gotcha! Removing that part then!
I think Stu and I were discussing the handbook in another Little Bugs thread which is maybe why you might not have seen the references we've dug up to it being available outside the promotion.
