Does anyone have a list of games that were issued/reissued under different titles?
I have bought several games and when they have arrived I have found that I have already played them. Often US titles and UK titles are different.
Any info that does not include stupid is welcome I already know the stupid bit and should research more however game descriptions are often very similar for different games.

Hi BobS

OT, you said
Quote:
"Believe nothing you hear and only half what you see" (I am sure I did not make this up but no idea where it came from)


Might it be the lyrics to "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", by Marvin Gaye?
"People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear."

Cheers

Hi Noel,
Thanks for that.
I have now done a bit of research and unless Marvin Gaye recorded a cover version, I think his was 1969. I heard it from my grandfather in the mid 50s and it stuck in my memory. Now I feel old cry he also said it in Welsh coming from Merthyr perhaps more Dylan than Marvin.

I am now keen to find out where it came from and will research further. Not sure this is very on topic but interesting

Thanks again
Bob

Re hearing and seeing - still very OT
