Thunderblade not in Hol

[haribootje]

I compared my collection with the HOL database and noticed that one of my favourites was not listed: The heli-action game Thunderblade !!

So I will upload it in the zone !

Speaking of spaces, isn't Auto Duel (http://hol.abime.net/?id=3346) officially Autoduel?

Well, Licence To Kill (http://hol.abime.net/?id=885) was a European release, so they spell it Licence. Handy tip, if you search for a game and get no match, single out words (especially if they are unique) and only search on them. If you'd searched for Kill, then you'd have found Licence. Likewise if you'd searched for Thunder, then Thunder Blade would have appeared in the list.

We are working on this stuff, though, but it's slower than other tasks ahead of it in the queue, so these only get smoothed over when we bump into them; more on this below...

Our criteria for which name is authentic is based upon what the programmers call the game within the game itself, mostly the title screen. On it, the title appears split as two words, but for all we know, that's a design issue.

Many times, all of the external material will call a game differently that the game itself does. We reckon that's miscommunication between the publishers and the typesetters; we put our money on the guy generating the code. ;)

And yes, some games use alternate spellings even within their own bloody code (or the graphics designer will spell the game differently than the programmer). I think of these as blunders not unlike continuity flubs in movies.

Now the second bit:
You can now find the three aforementioned games at HOL searching with the words License, Thunderblade, and Autoduel. As they occur to us, we'll add (when neccesary) alternate names that are unofficial so that when searched on, they will produce the proper hits. Thanks again for that one, RCK!
