Thanks, I'll go over that and make the appropriate changes.

Idol Game, Mad Motor, Sky Jaguar, The Goonies II have had their platform removed.

Beavis and Butthead is an interesting case because while the game was never officially released, several location test copies of the games DO, one of them is shown on conventions and the other one is the one shown here. So while the game was never released in large quantities, it IS playable via legal (non-bootleggy) means, so... it counts for the site.

The same goes for Arrow Heads. It's technically legit because it was made for the college and can (or could) be played by anyone there. See this video.

Bowling, Chase II, Mines and Swords... seem to have gotten some sort of a release. AtariAge has photos of what appear to be instruction cards for coin-op versions released before the RCA Studio II versions. See this post quoted in the comments for these entries.

This is a very weird case and I'm asking the contributor about it to get that cleared up. This specific person's interest is very early computer and arcade games, as well as pong variants.

These have been sent back.

These are special cases because they were all available for play attrade fairs and other exhibitions, and created to be disassembled and reassembled at other places. So while they ARE mainframe games, they would count as arcade games because of how they were shown to the public.

That said I will discuss this with other staff members, and see what they think.

That's weird, I'll look into those entries later.

That's the only platform where it fits. It's the normal game with added features, that was not available to the general public, with special hardware, and only playable at specific locations.

Table Hockey: The 1973 release? It says Hockey here. Maybe someone fixed it. I've made a note about Great Party Games / Rec Room Games so someone can merge them.

Thank you!
