No, Aaargh! was released as a coin-op in 1987 and on the Amiga in 1988...

The 1987 date is a copyright date, which is often not the same as the Amiga release date.

OK. sorry

In that case there is a incompatibility in TOSEC dats.
lt's as follows:

"Games - ADF (#-A) (TOSEC-v0.27)" -> Aaargh! (1987)(Electronic Arts)

and

"CAPS (TOSEC-v0.07)" -> Aaargh! (1988)(Melbourne House)[0511]

So, I guess this is a TOSEC bug, not HOL or I'm completely in the wrong.

There are lots of problems in the amiga tosec dats, mainly because the majority of the work was done before HOL was open and the renamers didn't have much else than what appeared on the game itself to go on.

The CAPS dat is of course a lot newer and I check all the games in HOL before I rename them
