I know next to nothing about the old C64 and Mac games, but I recently got a bunch of them and I want to add them to the database but I've got many questions about them. So far I've only got a few that I'm sure have entries in the database, the others I'm not sure about. Especially the ones that seem to be for multiple platforms.

I've got scans for all these, most have front, back, manual and game scans, so if you need more info on game to help me then I can post the scan of exactly what I have.

First one:
Gunship. The box says Commodore 64/128, so would this be the right entry: http://www.rfgeneration.c...nfo.pl?ID=U-018-S-03030-A

Next one:
The Bard's Tale. Again, this one says C64/128 so is this the right entry:
http://www.rfgeneration.c...nfo.pl?ID=U-018-S-01830-A
And this one is in a sleeve type box, reminds of a jacket that a record comes in, is this the box or is some kind of inner packaging?


Blue Max 2001. This one says C64/Atari "Single disk works on both computers". There is already an entry for Atari 8-bit family http://www.rfgeneration.c...nfo.pl?ID=U-034-S-02410-A. So should I add another entry for C64 or another entry for Multiple Consoles or should the existing entry be changed to Multiple Consoles?
Similar story with "L.A. Swat / Panther", disk says C64/128 and Atari 800XL/130XE only this one doesn't have any existing entries.

Hulk. This one says "C64 & Plus/4" So would I add it as "C64/128" or "C16/Plus4/116" or "Multiple Consoles"? Also, it came in a paper sleeve, like a dust cover type thing. I assume there was an actual box too, so the sleeves would fall under extra media?



Also, any staff members reading this, please check my submissions carefully since I'm new to this Commodore and Mac stuff, mistakes are more probable than the other stuff I submit.

That's right. If a game says for it's for both the C64 and C128, it will always be for the C64.

Next one:
The Bard's Tale. Again, this one says C64/128 so is this the right entry:
http://www.rfgeneration.c...nfo.pl?ID=U-018-S-01830-A
And this one is in a sleeve type box, reminds of a jacket that a record comes in, is this the box or is some kind of inner packaging?

The "record sleeve" the game comes in is actually the box. Pretty much all EA games came with that type of packaging, and The Bard's Tale is no exception.

Blue Max 2001. This one says C64/Atari "Single disk works on both computers". There is already an entry for Atari 8-bit family http://www.rfgeneration.c...nfo.pl?ID=U-034-S-02410-A. So should I add another entry for C64 or another entry for Multiple Consoles or should the existing entry be changed to Multiple Consoles?

I ran into the same problem with a couple of C64 games. I'd just go ahead and list it under both systems. Just make sure to put something along the lines of "flip side contains C64/Atari version" in the trivia.

Hulk. This one says "C64 & Plus/4" So would I add it as "C64/128" or "C16/Plus4/116" or "Multiple Consoles"? Also, it came in a paper sleeve, like a dust cover type thing. I assume there was an actual box too, so the sleeves would fall under extra media?

If the paper sleeve has a unique logo on it, than it should be listed under extra media. Most games came with ordinary paper sleeves, so they shouldn't be listed under extra media. And yes, it came with a box.

Thanks for the help ApolloBoy!

I crossed out the stuff I got a definite answer to in the first post. Since you didn't seem certain about the games that are for both Atari and Commodore systems, I'll let someone who knows for sure give me answer.

Glad to see some C64 stuff on the database.

I've got boxes of C64 and Spectrum tapes waiting to be added.

I don't even have an interest in computer games at all really, I won't even add these to my collection but I figured since I've got them I might as well add them to the database for the people who do collect them or are looking for info on them.
