It appears an older version was uploaded to IA. The current one on the site matches the one in this PR. |
|
Then shouldn't both versions be added, if they're different? |
Yes |
|
They seem to have pushed yet another update to the build. https://twitter.com/Pearacidic_Dev/status/1668723527787094018 |
|
Oh my god, they're fast. |
|
Current version: The filename on their server now has .gb at the end |
|
Yeah, that's added too. |
|
Let's wait for a few days in case they make more of them... |
ICEknigh7
changed the title
|
This has: v1, v1.1, v1.2 |
The second one was actually uploaded without a ".gb" extension. Also added the other dates according to what the Internet Archive crawled.
V1.3 is out |
|
We got changelogs! https://twitter.com/krooltoys/status/1669352258168033282 |
Another day, another Grimace's Birthday revision.
|
Why am I so sure there will be at least one more revision of this. |

The game is 'freeware', but it also is an 'aftermarket' game. I think it's important to use both terms since they tell us that the game was made for the systerm after its life and that the game is free. 'Aftermarket' doesn't mean modded games in the games world, but it did mean modified parts in the car world by other manufacturers than the original. For modified games by companies, 'modded' could be used and homebrew for games by randoms. |
Vas, you're literally the one who asked for those formatting changes in the softlists. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The parent should have the shortest short name, and the clones should have suffixes.
For the older versions that are actually labelled, you can use them for the short names, e.g. grimaces14, grimaes13, grimaces12, etc. so they’re mnemonic. You can make the first version grimaceso for “older” or “original”.
