Guardian Angel (MIA or an AKA ?)
^^^The loading screen for Tarzan Goes Ape^^^ lists a few games and along them is a game called "Guardian Angel" but it does not seem to exist in the Archive.
The game Freddy Hardest en Manhattan Sur has a filename-AKA in the Archive as Guardian Angel BUT the loading screen actually lists it as The Guardian Angel.
The "only" link being Code Masters but the Tarzan loading screen hints at a waaay different art-type to the game, as opposed to the cartoon-comic style of Freddy Hardest.
EDIT: And actually I now notice Freddy Hardest came out in '89 while Tarzan came out in '91 so this must be a missing title!!! (???)
EDIT2: Then again ... the Tarzan loading screen also lists Pro Boxing Simulator which was a previously released title (read: FIASCO!) and that picture is also different compared to the initial release.
Sooo ... were Code Masters thinking about re-releasing Freddy Hardest under a different name???
EDIT3: Never mind ... checked the magazines and this stupid game is Freddy Hardest in South Manhattan. So should Freddy Hardest en Mahattan Sur get this as an AKA? Also it should be The Guardian Angel (and in effect that should be the least change of this convoluted post)
ARGH!
:razz:

AFAIK, when there's differences in names between the loading screen/ingame logo/inlay cover or inlay spine, the inlay spine is the prefered version, so it's correct right now:

...but adding The Guardian Angel as an AKA perhaps would be nice, but I'm not sure about adding ReRelease renames as AKAs.

well gurdian angel = freddy in manhatten IRC correctly
they put out other Spanish games also remember..

and obviously had to get the menu's changed if need be.
it's in a quattro pack and as a single release if my memory serves
