I guess this could either be a compilation by The Guild or by The Adventure Workshop, as both games were released by those companies? So it might be useful for those updating ZXDB if the information was known.

Along those lines...

The current date for The Talisman of Lost Souls in the ZXDB is incorrect***... it should be 1992, according to the game itself (type HELP); 1991 is the date for the original Amstrad game...

The date for the Guardian is incorrect. It's not 1994 but at least as early as 1992 too. Both are visible in The Guild advertising in Adventure Probe volume 6 issue 6 page 22, for example, which was published in 1992.

***Note: the author's own website gets the release dates slightly wrong... but the dates are clear from advertising and, 1992 is stated as the date for the Spectrum port in all copies of the game itself... see...
