Gun Nac / Gun-Nac / Gun*Nac ... Pac-Land / Pacland...

Somewhere for the annoying and/or off-topic threads to go. Feel free to post about whatever, but abuse will still be dealt with, and possibly with more force. Especially pac-porno. ;)

Wich is the correct name of this NES game?
IMO, and according to HARP database, is "Gun Nac".

Here are some pics... including the title screen.:

Here are more sources of "Gun Nac" name, however in the Internet have ohter sources with other names. PS.: I gerenally used GAMEFAQs as the most correct source to game names. Am I correct?

GAMESPOT: http://www.gamespot.com/nes/action/gunnac/index.html

The titlescreen is the main source to the game names IMO. If not, the correct name of this game would NOT be "Pac-Land"... but "Pacland"...

The manual would likely give it away.

If in the manual it always has Gun-Nac instead of the - a diamond graphic, then the diamond graphic is part of the name.

It's not clear from the title screen and cartridge alone.

Pac-land on the other hand, is clearly pac-land IMHO...although again the manual for the game would reveal all.
