Nice touch, Alexis, and way to go reminding some of us how old we are

Disagree, I think it's something that can be calculated by a basic frontend based on the game publication year, and therefore doesn't serve much purpose in the database, it's merely pointlessly duplicated content. But whatev.

Quick fixes, years with an unknown (?) can't be calculated so line removed for these entries. Please re-download the file https://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=download

I remember Nicola getting on my case about wanting to add production numbers, which games had which slapstics, etc. to the history file back in the day. He wanted the file "simple" with some trivia and maybe some gameplay tips (Roger from the old Tips and Tricks site helped out a bit with this). He'd have a hairy conniption these days... hah!
