I'm confused, and the listings on Baf's Guide aren't making it clear either. If I had to guess, I'd say that this was a brand name within a company, not a person or author with a misleading pseudonym. If I'm right, this more properly belongs under Publishers, not People. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 11:25, 5 Dec 2005 (Central Standard Time)
:This article should be filed with Developers (or somesuch), since the company was solely responsible for software development, not publishing (like Infocom and Legend). I've already used the ''developer:'' label (distinct from ''author'' or ''publisher'') in a few game references. The header ''Author Credits'' isn't applicable either, but since neither [[Infocom]] nor [[Legend Entertainment]] provide a list games, we could leave them out altogether. --[[User:Mara|Mara]] 06:13, 28 July 2006 (EST)

I don't know if we should create a "Developers" category; maybe. If we do, should [[Magnetic Scrolls]], for instance, be in that category instead of [[:Category:Publishers]]? After all, they were published by Rainbird (later by Virgin).

But I think every publisher (and developer) page should provide a list of games. The list for Infocom is at [[Infocom games]]; I think it should be added to the [[Infocom]] page instead. It's just useful to know all the games of a publisher.

It may not be relevant still but Delbert the Hamster (as well as being a pseudonym that Scott Denyer used when writing the Arnold the Adventurer series for Zenobi) was also a completely independent home-run label. The DTH adventures were eventually republished by Zenobi which regularly causes confusion. See http://www.garethpitchford.co.uk/documents/Delbert_Games.pdf for details.
