Release id #80460 : Pharaohs Grave Adventure +1DT

Apart from this being the only translated version (German->English), the two other [german] only versions seem very poor and lame cases of [insert handle into BASIC code] into a C64'er mag release published by Markt & Technik. They're otherwise no good at all.

So my suggestion is
* keep THIS Chromance release
* get rid of Der Fluch des Pharao [german] so we can also get rid of Witchcraft (even in the 1980s adding some PRINT line in a BASIC listing wasn't considered Witchcraft by most people)
* get rid of Pharaoh's Grave Adventure [german]

Any objections? Otherwise I'll just do it tomorrow.

objection, lame as you want and I agree, but they are releases to keep.

I guess the one from Input should stay at least, Witchcraft seems hardly scene related.

With Zyron here - "cases of [insert handle into BASIC code]" can be ignored whenever no further "proper" things by [basic master] can be spotted anywere.

SUCH should be researched, btw! :)

OK, Zyron's compromise (also what Count Zero sez) makes sense:
IF a scener/group released more than just that single cheap-o-BASIC
PRINT "CRACKED BY MIGHTY KEWL DUDE"

it's worth keeping to preserve the shame for Posterity.

If that's the only thing the scener/group ever did, it's dumped.

*deleted Witchcraft and their lame stuff, kept Input's release*
