One game I've wanted to purchase the PCB for is Hippodrome. In the VAPS entry it is listed as a standard resolution game:

Hippodrome is also essentially the same game as Fighting Fantasy. But, I noticed the VAPS entry for it has medium resolution:

I'm assuming that's an error in the entry. I've seen both boards show up on E-Bay, but if Fighting Fantasy was actually a medium resolution version of Hippodrome I'll limit my search for just Hippodrome.

Can anyone confirm if that's an error in the VAPS for Fighting Fantasy?
 
From the pictures on KLOV they appear to be identical to me, just a US name and a non-US name which is not uncommon for that era.

Of all the info on IAM pages the screen resolution is the one most often wrong. There was an effort to fix all of the wrong entries a while back but I believe the people fixing it lost interest.
