|  Official and Unofficial +4 Games
Hi there, I wondered if some of the +4 games ie: Barbarian, Great Giana Sisters, Marble Madness and certain other games are Official. It's great to see so many +4 games. Are some made over recent years by indepent programers.

| I wouldn't say Unofficial...
I'd rather call them amateur or freeware programs. Actually, a much larger portion of all programs is made by the scene. I have just recently updated the database so that we are able to make this distinction. Look under "Distribution" (for those games that have this field entered). "Commercial" would mean "official", or produced by a company and sold for money. "Freeware" would mean it was done by some screen member and it just spread.

Okay, I went and set the "Distribution" field for those three games you mentioned to "Freeware"  Also, if you are unsure about a game, take a look at it's creators. If it's something like "converted by xyz", then that's almost definitely freeware.

A better word is commercial releases 
Plus4 only or 64k games that were release from 1984 - 88 are very few, but some of the freeware stuff is very cool and there are 100's of them. One fav is Commando Plus4, Elite would of be proude of this version
