We have this game on file for the C64, and the Atari entry is also pending now. However, according to the history on this page, these are actually ports of the second Asylum game - its original TRS-80 version is titled Asylum II. The first Asylum is a different game, which would need a separate entry.

How do we handle the title, then? Since the TRS-80 version is the original one, I'd say the main title should be "Asylum II", and "Asylum" added as an alternate title for the Commodore/Atari ports. Just querying before I submit a new platform for the TRS-80 version.

Looks right. Title changed.

Here's the manual for the TRS-80 version.

Thanks - description edit, alternate title, and TRS-80 entry now pending.

Is the currently listed Atari release not the original one for the platform? The dual C64/Atari release shows a 1984 copyright on the tape and manual, while the cover has an earlier one presumably refering to the TRS-80 release.

The dual release here says 1986 - no disk/tape scans, but I guess that's where the date would come from. There could've been earlier ones of course.
