 Mastertronic release dates

Good evening all,

I've done a number of edits tonight and we now have a complete list of Mastertronic release dates, with month and year accuracy.

In a couple of cases, the release date was early in the year after what might have been stated on the title screen, but checking my original cassette inlays and the ones scanned here, the year of release matches what they've been updated to, so does check out pretty well.

In order of releases themselves, this does make interesting reading:

Jan 1985 - Vegas Jackpot
Jul 1985 - BMX Racers, Formula 1 Simulator, Spectipede, Squirm
Oct 1985 - Big Mac, Rockman, Tutti Frutti
Feb 1986 - Mr Puniverse
Mar 1986 - Bandits At Zero
May 1986 - The Exploits of Fingers Malone, Hektik, Kikstart, Return of Rockman, Street Olympics
Jun 1986 - Oblido
Jul 1986 - One Man and His Droid, Speed King
Sep 1986 - Finders Keepers, Las Vegas Video Poker
Oct 1986 - Kane, POD (Proof of Destruction), Video Meanies
Nov 1986 - Powerball, Prospector Pete
Jan 1987 - Master Chess, Molecule Man, Storm
Feb 1987 - Gun Law, Megabolts
Apr 1987 - Battle
May 1987 - GWNN
Jun 1987 - Xadium
Jul 1987 - Frenesis, Starforce Nova
Aug 1987 - On Cue
Nov 1987 - Spore
Mar 1988 - Dingbat
Apr 1988 - Way of the Exploding Fist (Ricochet re-release)
Jun 1988 - C16 Compilation
Jan 1990 - Fighting Warrior (Mastertronic Plus re-release)

So that's a pretty good spread of games across a good few years, and certainly we were lucky to be so well supported.

This is very cool indeed, much appreciated. The Mastertonic page looks might informative happy

Do we know anything about that odd Cave Fighter release?

Sadly @Csabo nothing as yet. I'm doing some digging as are some of the others within the Mastertronic Archives team to find our some more. There is nothing new to add from what's already mentioned in the game entry. Ideally it would be good to try and source it (as the instructions and inlay must have been scanned from somewhere) and this may give us some clues to to what happened.
