Asterix: Operation Getafix / Aster & the Big Fight
http://hol.abime.net/3365
Was just taking some screenshots of this game and noticed that if you wait for the title screen to finish it actually displays "And the Big Fight" http://postimage.org/image/dp6ezydgp/ Think it should be added to HOL as another name for it? |

"Operation Getafix" was the title of the move that was based on the comic "The Big Fight" (thank you Wiki )

Actually:
First there were two Astérix comics: Asterix and the Big Fight (Le Combat des chefs) and Asterix and the Soothsayer (Le Devin). It seems like when they decided to make a new movie, they merged scenarios of both (and probably changed/added a few things). The movie was called Asterix and the Big Fight (Astérix et le Coup du menhir). They also made a comics adaptation of the movie (a special issue, non-canon), called Astérix et le Coup du menhir in French-speaking country, like the movie, but it seems like they decided to call this special issue as Operation Getafix. Two hypoteses: - if the game was programmed in English by Cocktel, they might have decided to originally tie it with the movie but later decided to link to the comic book. - more probably in my opinion, Cocktel programmed in French and when the translator(s) worked on it, they had diverging pieces of information. I'll try this week-end to play the French version (supposing a dump is available) to see what happens. As for adding an alternative name, as I can't remember a similar case, I think I will leave the top team decide. It might even be worth a name change if in-game the only name given to the game is Asterix and the Big Fight, even if all the other elements (box, disks) mention Operation Getafix. |

You have spanish box and diskscan, so this title was published in spanish language too.
Ingame title and title on Box differs too. ingame = Asterix y Operacion Menhir. |
