Re: Plagiarised game
Are you sure?
Yes. It's a slightly expanded version, but the core is identical.
You can read Jason's articles about the initial version of the game here...

Steve W. Lucas games
I've just randomly disappeared down the Steve Lucas rabbit hole... There seems to be a lot of similarities between his games on different platforms which aren't currently noted in the database...
For examples...
Pharoah's Curse

Re: Double entry?
Yes, they appear to be the same game so the entries could be combined, especially given the solution on the original database entry is specifically for the original Aardvark release.
I wonder how many of those formats are actual official releases.

I've processed your two other edits/additions. It's only your review that an admin needs to approve/add now.

Re: When can I expect my submissions to be approved?
It very much depends what the submissions are, how much work is involved adding them, and which admins have time available to process updates... Not everyone works on the same aspects of the site; and some more complicated submissions, especially those requiring additional research, often require a ...

Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
There seems to be a small error in The Quill Reference Guide in Other Observations & Notes:
The C64 version also uses, in the tables, the character * rather than _.
That's been corrected in the current version I am working on. The various versions of Adventure Writer use the asterisk too. PAW ...

Re: Westbury Mystery
Are you using the extracted database for a particular purpose? Are you porting the game to another format?
The missing section is highly likely just to have an initial JUMP entry, that should be fairly easy to guess at and recreate from playing the game. It certainly won't be a TWIS entry, as the ...

Re: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted
I would agree with those particular deletions. They're not really examples of the real edge-cases that are currently in the database.

Re: Westbury Mystery
The QL had a native RAMSAVE/RAMLOAD command and the Spectrum version had Ramsave through The Patch. I'm not familiar enough with C64 Quill (or C64 Quilled games) to know how authors manage to implement it in that system. A third-party code tweak could easily explain the issues with unQuill etc.
