We've also started adding links from each compilation page to Lemon64 and C64Endings so you can find out more about each game.  Thanks to TNT and Vinny Mainolfi for allowing us to do this.

And another new feature: if compilations are part of a series, then they will have a 'related' section in their info which links to other compilations in the series.

Compilation Reviews - Commodore Format

After searching through old issues of ZZAP!64 for compilation reviews last week, we've just spent a few more days searching through old issues of Commodore Format and adding links to those reviews of the compilations we have in the archive. 

As with the ZZAP!64 reviews, if a compilation has a Commodore Format review, then a link appears on the compilation page under the 'Compilations Reviews' section.  For example, check out:

4 Most World Sports
2 Hot 2 Handle
The Lineker Collection
Psycho's Soccer Collection

Unlike ZZAP!64, there are few websites hosting entire issues of Commodore Format (for legal reasons we assume), so we have decided to 'host' these review scans on our Dropbox account.  Please be gentle if directing people to these compilations - link to the compilation page in the archive and not directly to the scans!

As with the ZZAP! reviews, there are a few Commodore Format reviews missing because we don't actually have the compilations in our archive yet - they will become available in a future update.
