Should these be linked somehow?

Rickard just pointed out that the games Bennie The Burglar and Crime Busters look the same.

Both share the same authors but should they not be somehow cross-referenced/linked/mentioned in both of the listings?

    Actually, I believe it's really the same game!
    "Crime Busters", featuring "Bennie the Burgler" (on the menu screen).
    Indeed the game is the same, although the TAP lacks the Players intro bit before the menu screen.

    Yeah, I know. What I don't know is the story behind why the same game was apparently sold to two different companies.

    I'm not at all convinced it was.

    The publisher for Bennie the Burglar (MB/APG Software) is listed on the intro screen and is of course made up from the initials of the 2 main programmers (Michael Blanke, Arno P. Gitz). We don't know anything about it; no publication details or magazine references.
    It was probably incorrectly identified in 1999 when the entry and TAP were added, so I'll get rid of it.
