- 07:42, 27 October 2023 diff hist -100 Michael Jackson's Moonwalker Undo revision 915014 by CartridgeCulture (talk) Sega definitely was involved in the development of the SMS version. The closing credits show more people from Sega than Arc System Works. The latter was only involved in programming, not graphics or music which were all Sega's work. Tag: Undo
- 11:41, 1 July 2023 diff hist +5 Sangokushi IV Despite the Koei logo on the boxart of the 32X version, that port was published by Sega. If Koei was the publisher of the 32X version, the copyright year next to its name would be 1995 instead of 1994 and there would be a "Licensed by Sega Enterprises" mention like all third-party games publishing on Sega consoles had on their titlescreen from the Genesis to the Dreamcast.
- 10:30, 1 July 2023 diff hist +10 Voice Idol Maniacs: Pool Bar Story Four Winds Software is openly mentioned in the copyright of the titlescreeen of the game. While the titlescreen doesn't explicitly say Four Winds is the developer, this company has developed several games (mostly PlayStation) during the 32 bits era. There is no reason to believe that Four Winds would be anything else than the developer. It's possible that Data East was co-developer but since the game doesn't have any closing credits, this can't be confirmed.
- 22:38, 4 March 2023 diff hist +31 Montezuma's Revenge While not very likely, Parker Brothers may be the developer of the port. The company has an history of porting arcades games on the Atari 2600 so there's a possibility that SMS Montezuma's Revenge is their own work. Utopia seems even more unlikely due to its keeping of the 1984 copyright on the port instead of updating it to a 1989 one as did Parker Brothers. And Microsmiths is totally out of question because the port is not listed on their GDRI page. Ditto for Venture Technologies. current
- 15:00, 26 February 2023 diff hist -21 Montezuma's Revenge Parker Brothers did not developed the game. And the entry of Utopia as developer of the port is questionable. But since Utopia developed the original version on computers and since the actual developer of the SMS port is unknown, I guess it can stay there for the time being.

- 20:04, 16 October 2022 diff hist -30 Psycho Fox No source of the sound having been done by Graphic Research. GDRI's page for Vic Tokai claims the sound of Psycho Fox was made by Aicom. And I'm not sure it's even worth mentioning as developers the companies that were involved only with the sound of games.
- 17:56, 16 October 2022 diff hist +47 Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Added original publisher and switched Computer Entertainer source of SMS release to January 1989. It's more credible to use a source of when the game had already been released,

- 16:34, 16 October 2022 diff hist +1 Joe & Mac Unless Elite co-developed the port themselves, it's more accurate to put them in the "Licensor" field (with or without Data East) as suggested in the discussion talk page.

Sega likely co-developed the port but there's definitely involvement from Arc either in part or as a whole.
- 14:50, 24 December 2021 diff hist -39 Wonder Boy Not enough evidence it was ported by Whiteboard/Santos. The Wonder Boy entries on GDRI's Santos page are in red meaning that it isn't confirmed the company ported the game. On the other hand, Sega is openly credited as the developer on the titlescreen.

- 21:10, 22 October 2020 diff hist +2 Power Strike Just because the MSX gam was released after the Master System, that doesn't necessarily make it a port. It's possible both games were developed at the same time.
