Re: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted

Done.

The review of the game in Syntax says Kelly wrote another adventure. We don't currently have any details in the database about that. Ah, it's KQUEST II, which is why the earlier game may have had the "I" appended to it. https://www.syntax2000.co.uk/issues/38/kquest2.qht.txt

Re: Advin Man / King's Ransom

Ah, in that case I don't think auraes realised that when submitting the entry. I'll just combine them.

(I hate GAC* so I don't ever look at what's included on that system)

Re: Advin Man / King's Ransom

Yes. They're too separate games. We usually list the demonstration adventures for authoring systems... in some cases that's the only game we know about for a system!

Ransom is particularly significant as it well remembered and has had several unofficial ports.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

Also in the anonymous baggage claim is a solution for Jewel Thief.

We're aware that this may be due to an issue around the registration captcha. When this is resolved, please claim your solution here so it can be correctly attributed, thanks.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

If you're the user that submitted a new (earlier) listing of Danger Island then please get in touch so we can check why it came through as an anonymous submission.

Chris Marriott... Your submissions also came through as "anonymous". Can you let us know your username please?

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10

Hi Jim,

I know you're always looking for new potential type-ins to port.

I came across the actual listing for this German game https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C2730/Drakulas+Diamanten.html on the page of a guy who ported it to Inform... which allowed me to correct both the title of the game ...

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

We've had contributions from Bieno and Exemptus recently that did get recorded under the correct username, so will monitor to see if it's an issue that remains for OVL.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

Just checked and my comment on the same game shows under my username, where Exemptus' doesn't (shows as anonymous).

Will leave that comment in place for now for diagnostic purposes.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

Yeah, I've noticed this for your latest map submission (which I will add but leave in the queue for diagnostic reasons).

A map that OVL submitted a day or so ago was also tagged Anonymous. I knew it was theirs because of the style they use (like I could spot yours instantly) so added it with the ...

Over on Renga in Blue, LanHawk has posted some hex edits that will fix Catacombs and should allow it to be completed:

List of games to potentially add

Just keeping a list of random pages and games to investigate to add to the database. I'll will probably get to them at some point but adding them here so I don't forget (and anyone else is welcome to grab details to start to work on entries if they meet the site's criteria).

Re: Quest [Roger Chaffee]

Yeah, I'm not going to be proposing a whole scale merge of all these entries (at least not at this point). To start with I'll just be adding links between any of these derivatives and the main Chaffee page.
