Alternate game names

TCD · 02 June 2009, 08:34

Hi folks,

I'm searching for games that have multiple names, like Retee 2 (http://hol.abime.net/1226) for example

So it would be great if you could post just the HOL link to games with multiple names (even different languages and preview names) here

Thanks in advance

s2325 · 02 June 2009, 09:19

what about games with different names only in preview versions? (http://hol.abime.net/2322)

TCD · 02 June 2009, 09:20

Would be nice to know them too, but 'full' games with different names are more important

s2325 · 02 June 2009, 09:22

Also thanks to you

Do you mean also different country/region = different name?

TCD · 02 June 2009, 10:16

Yup

All games that have more than one name or a translated name.

s2325 · 02 June 2009, 10:16

Good luck, it's only 12,300 results.

s2325 shows a quite clever Google search in post 4. Like I said there is no option to search for games with an alternate name, but I guess it wouldn't be too hard to implement. Maybe when RCK has some spare minutes...
