october notes: I+T's release of "Laser Squad" was imported to the usa by
Rampar, and carries their intro (which is also how we got the release date),
but judging by some text in I+T's intro there probably is no version WITHOUT
the Rampar intro linked in front, so this is probably the final filesize.
Also, just says IMPORTED by Rampar, no mention of fixing.

undated notes: Release dates of these files are normally based on their
release year, and little else. When we get a couple of dated versions of the
same game, we can usually give it more of a target date.

Action's release of "Gemini Wing" announces the group is six months old in
two weeks, plus the kicking of Cyco and the joining of DP/ex Aidon. I have
external information that Cyco's kicking happened around september. Talent's
"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" was Likely released late in the year,
november or december. Triangle's "Run the Gauntlet" was likely released
around march, same as the Array version.
