Double Dragon II

Please add "IBM PC (CGA, EGA, VGA), Tandy" to the conversion hardware list.

Did you notice how old that post was? It did not say "1993" when I wrote that.

alexh · 10 October 2005, 11:05

Did you see that it wasnt fixed until I brought it up again

Renegade was bought by "Time Warner Interactive" in 1995. You may want to add that to the publisher information.

I just saw that there's a "Conversion hardware" entry that says "NEC PC-88/PC-98". This should be separated to "NEC PC-8801" and "NEC PC-9801", as these systems have nothing in common, they are not even compatible to each other! Also take care to not write "PC98", as that was a different system by Epson.

This seems to be somewhat wrong as well:

^ Please change "New Bits On The RAM (Kaiko)" to "New Bits On The RAM (A.U.D.I.O.S)", as it was a sub-label of A.U.D.I.O.S (for budget games). Kaiko did not have any sub-labels, it was a sub-label of A.U.D.I.O.S as well.

Thanks WK - I've fixed the DMA Systems and New Bits problems.

About the NEC hardware - I'm not sure that the difference is relevant for the HOL. We've merged some of the hardware types recently...

Good eyes....they use different CPUs and are not compatible. Fixed!

Apidya

The katakana is transcripted wrongly, it reads: A-BI-DYA

I don't know who did the current transcription, but he certainly doesn't know how to read katakana...

The last two characters form a ligature, that is one syllable only, not two.

Thanks, I have updated my obviously wrong transcription

Putty Squad

You can add "PC (VGA)" to the conversion hardware field. Seems like no one knows that Putty Squad was also planned for PC. However, I don't know if the PC version ever saw a release, all I currently have is the playable demo... It was also converted to Sega Genesis.

Here are some more interesting information about Putty Squad:
