Grargar: With the release of Hyperdimension Neptunia by none other than Retroism, it seems that possible future releases by Idea Factory here might be handled by Retroism, as well. Both Amnesia: Memories and Fairy Fencer F, which are Idea Factory games, are featured on Retroism's site.
Yep that seems like good evidence and, besides, it would have raised the question of whether to do a separate 'Idea Factory' section otherwise, which would have made less sense
Added those two to Tommo / Retroism - thanks

Nice! Added to Nordic, thanks
TBH I thought this was going to be about removing The Last Federation from the Arcen section but it seems it was never there - Think it must have been 'coming soon' or something last time I looked at it
Oh well....

Last Federation was a day-1 release here. What was released yesterday was a second DLC pack, as well as a bundle (the collection) that contained the base game and the two DLC packs.

Ah that would explain it - I must have not read the release blurb closely enough
I feel better for not having it listed now - thanks!

There was an Arcomage game (the card game you can play in Might & Magic VII). I wonder who would hold the distribution rights to that one, there's a listing for the game on Gamefaqs.

Also I wonder who holds the rights for stuff like the Freddie Fish games Humongous Entertainment did, since the Pajama Sam games are on here.

Tommo does who has purchased Humongous Entertainment from Atari 2 years ago. In fact, they even publish the other series (Freddi Fish, Putt-Putt, Spy Fox) on Steam.

Tank: M1A1 Abrams Battle Simulation was recently released on Steam, alongside Starlord and World War II GI (though the latter two are already in your list).

Grargar: It's now here, self-published.

Fever_Discordia: See I left the X series off the list for ages because I expected it to be from EgoSoft if it came here but someone persuaded me to add it to Deep Silver... Oh well it's here now, that's the important thing!
Ok removed and change added
Should you add a separate EgoSoft section? They have a few more games beside the X series.

Sweet - AFAIK that's the first old game from the generally Atari direction that Tommo / Retroism have published that wasn't on the 'De Minimis Assets list'
http://docs.bmcgroup.com/Atari/nysb_1-13-bk-10176_313.pdf
(pg 74- 75) - I wonder why? maybe because the name was odd the receivers mistook it for stationary or something?
Anyway - added, thank!

Maybe it's the game that is just called "Tank" (below Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror)?

Ah yeah, that's disappointing
I know what happened - because it's Atari and it was just listed as 'Tank' I thought they were on about this:
http://www.mobygames.com/game/arcade/tank____
The arcade game from 1974 that was a precursor to the 'Combat' cart that came with every Atari 2600!
(Atari had so little competition in the arcades back then that they invented 'Kee Games' to be their own competition but, really they owned them completely!)

Kee Games was an arcade game manufacturer that released games from 1973 to 1978. Kee was headed by Joe Keenan, a long-time friend of Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell. Keenan managed to hire several defectors from Atari, and began advertising itself as a competitor. In reality, Kee Games was a wholly owned subsidiary of Atari, created in response to the pinball and arcade distributors of the time who demanded exclusivity deals. Kee Games released several "clones" of Atari games, allowing Atari to "exclusively" sell games to two distributors at once.

Huh... the more you know...

JKHSawyer: Also, Night Dive/Retroism has not brought Eradicator nor NAM here, among some others.
Wonder if it's because of the clunky-ass controllers. So dated! Sorry for that, purists, but once you go WASD there's no way back :P
