I know that KLOV has sporadic inaccurate information, but the entry for Data East's cassette system game Explorer is among the worst.

The first cabinet shot is of Sidam's Explorer, an unrelated Scramble clone.

The second cabinet shot is of the actual Data East cabinet.
The only screen shot on the KLOV entry, (which is blurry...) appears to be of 1985's Son of Phoenix, which has zero to do with either the Data East or Sidam Explorer games.

Even the description of the DECO game, calling it a "3-D space adventure" is flawed, given as how the game appears to be a standard 2-D vertical shooter. However, DECO's own flyer calls it a 3-Dimensional Galaxy Adventure, so that's probably where the KLOV description comes from.
To be fair, most of the KLOV entries are 100% accurate, and it is a great resource that we all use regularly, but this entry just made me chuckle.
