Camerica Article

Here are some English issues I would change (leaving chunks so you can see where to put them):

1. Oh well.  A quick comparison of...

2. ... in 1993 - the "Aladdin version" was the updated version 2, thank god.

3. Dizzy 'Version 2' (I'd add this to any mention of 'version' in the article, capitalize and put in quotes like that)... Codemasters suddently felt the need to make the game multi-lingual, and version 3 was born, Dizzy could now also be played in German and French, but also seems to have a lot more graphical glitches and dissapearing sprites than any of the other versions. Version 3 also has a few graphical changes, maybe to make room in the ROM for the extra text. In addition, version 3 now says...

4. The game received a minor update, which was the Camerica logo being removed from the titlescreen of the game. Strangely, though, Codemasters also choose to remove their own logo from the titlescreen; what were they thinking?

5. The built-in teasers such as the Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy intro is still to be found in the Codemasters release, though they didn't remove Camerica's logo from the teaser; not that it matters either as that version of Dizzy never was released in Europe, we only got the updated "Aladdin Deck Enhancer" version as well as another language updated version as already mentioned above.

6. I do think it's nice to see a game released for the Amish...

7. This game uses the same ideas as Maniac Mansion and so on, but also has small platform stages to provide some variation. Quite a good game I might add...

8. The first release of Micro Machines refuses to run on a PAL NES deck for some reason; it just restarts and returns to the titlescreen.

9. Based on that release date, they may have changed Nova-Nova to Teva-Teva because of the French band and maybe a copyright issue or something.

10. Maybe you should do a code dump to see why that face is there.

11. ...Quattro something (clever!!); one had sports games...
   
12. ...Sports Challenge and I believe this was one of their first releases if not the first. Awhile back...

13. ...European release, the titlescreen still says "Quattro Sports"...

14. The release of Ultimate Stuntman was in 1991 by Camerica. Codemasters however decided to wait until 1993 with the European release and it seems like it was a bit sloppy too as they didn't bother to remove Camerica's logo from the game.

15. ...piece of plastic, but it's nice looking!

16. Also Quattro Arcade which features some pretty nice games, CJ's Elephant Antics and Go! Dizzy Go! and some less interesting games.   Stunt Buggies and F-16 Renegade...

Yep, just doing what the article said, pointing out things you could correct if you wanted, of if you gave me FTP access...
