Monkey Business HOL's differents games entries (A1000 & A500)?

CFou! · 07 November 2022, 15:46

I am finished WHDLoad's patch for rare game and perhaps the first amiga game named Monkey Bussiness (1985 The Other Valley Software).
here HOL's entry

Two versions are supported an early version A1000 in 4 colors
and a A500 16 colors version (v2.1)

both games are really differents:

wouldn't it be better to have 2 different entries in HOL?
One for the A1000 version, the other for the A500?

A1000

A500

PS:
WHDLoad's patch for both game soon released

I just tried them both. I tried the A1000 version first and I preferred it to the later version. So when was the later 'A500' version released exactly? It's all a bit confusing! Does the 'A500' version not work on an A1000? These seem like two different games to me, but I was surprised when there were no screen shots of the original 1985 release on HOL or Lemon Amiga.
