no I will not do that -  I have something better to do than track all my changes to pick stuff up which was recarded because some minor detail doen't fit your needs. If you think something needs to be improved please do it youself.

no the cart has -UKV thats the point. There is afaik no -EUR for this game - thats why I'm confused what this should be. There may be a benelux release with a -EUR on box, but I doubt they have a different cart suffix than UKV.
The uk (which was distributed also spain (+ portugal?), nordic (finnish, swedish) according to the manual), french, german and italian release all have -UKV on the cart.

is a frankenstein entry. Front & Back cover is from the German Version. Disc is UK version. I have currently some changes pending which add item numbers for all items of the german version. But notice this issue afterwards.

general all the entries are inconsistent if "Forgotten Realms" is part of the title or not

entry is for EU:
https://vgcollect.com/item/81021

but I can't find any source of this front cover with "only for"-edge. My copy also don't have this. Should I create a new entry or overwrite this picture? I think it could be a fake cover or a cover from another region canad or australia?

so vgcollect don't track different companies because they are hard to distinct. Got it.

Just from somebody with a bit of experience doing this. Atari is like one of the more known game companies out there with a difficult to track history. But there a lot of others smaller dev studios with wild renaming, merging and reusing history - I can't pick specific names now, my memory is fading it was a long time ago. But one of the newer instances is Microprose. Funny enough also part of Hasbro-Infogrames train.
