Title: Kixx: a publisher or US Gold budget range like Platinum?
Post by: sharp on March 25, 2017, 05:56:07 AM
I would like to hear opnions of others.

I recently added James Pond 2 for Game Gear Kixx version (E-045-S-00681-A). Kixx as variation title was changed to rerelease



The are two ther ways the reissues are mentioned in the database.

US Gold as pubisher and Kixx as variation (E-031-S-02331-A)
Kixx as publiher and variation (E-040-S-05001-A)

I think it would be good to draw the same line for all releases. personally I think publisher should be US Gold and variation Kixx.

I'm for Kixx as the publisher and a variation as other budget labels as well. I think it's good for the collector as people like on the C64 collect these budget labels like Kixx and The Hit Squad. Putting Kixx as publisher in the search would just bring them up so collectors can see what is out there.

Anyway just my thoughts especially for the 8bit computers. :)

That's how I've always done it.
