Re: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted
Thanks Garry.
Given the site's problems I don't think it wise at present to merge the duplicate entries, so I have only retitled the Kim O'Bryan game (after first checking the Internet Archive to make sure that the game never had a System entry).

Re: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted
Please delete https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C1 ... C+The.html as it's a duplicate of the older https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C5 ... C+The.html
But thanks to Strident, this game that was previously only known because of a solution by Dorothy Millard has now been found
I've updated the old game with Strident's new info.

Re: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted
Since the relevant problem has been fixed I guess we should get around to merging these duplicate entries. (Update: all done.)Alastair wrote: Sat Aug 31, 2024 9:15 pm Thanks Garry.

Garry, regarding the two E.T.s do you know if there is an "E.T. version" of Amos Newton - Incubo?
Re: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted
I don't believe so. 'Incubo' (which is Italian for 'Nightmare') was written much later (June 1987) after Epic 3000 had ceased publication. The last issue was December 1986.Garry, regarding the two E.T.s do you know if there is an "E.T. version" of Amos Newton - Incubo?

"Entered by: Alastair, [...]"
Odd, I can't recall entering details for that game. I would have played it first to make sure it qualified for CASA (plus to take a few screen shots).
Anyway, it is now deleted.
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: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted
I think KQuest II is going to be hard to find. It's not on the SynTax web site and a Google search doesn't reveal much. It might be MIA.

Re: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted
Yeah, it's really an "arcade adventure". It's doubtful if we'd add it as a new game if it wasn't already on there.
I'd normally have no qualms about deleting it normally, but there is a solution on the site for it, so perhaps it isn't really do any harm being there? There are a few other cases like that on the site.

Re: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted
Please delete Golden Oldies Volume 1 as it is a compilation of several games, only one of which is an adventure and is already listed (Software Toolworks' The Original Adventure).
