Game data base: News from lemonamiga.com
100 scans from ads of print magazines have been added to the game data base lemonamiga.com.
Many games now have cross references to the data bases CPCZone (Armstrad CPC), KLOV (Arcade-Automaten) and Guardiana (Sege Mega Drive). This makes it possible to compare the Amiga version with the Arcade original or the Sega-/CPC version.
Since our last announcement nearly 200 new games have been added. (cg) (Translation: iw)
