"Gauntlet by Donald R. Lebeau is released for the Atari 8-bit computers." This entry links to the Gauntlet Coin-op, which wasn't released until the following year. It is actually referring to a public domain game with the same name. I'm not sure if this entry is significant enough for this article since as far as I can tell the game's only claim to fame is confusing people with the later (1986?)

Best-selling home video games in the United Kingdom

The chart that was being used for this which was printed in CVG #41 March 85 (https://archive.org/details/computer-video-games-magazine-041/page/n61/mode/2up) is actually a misprint. It's exactly the same as the monthly chart printed in Sinclair User #35 February 85 (also published by EMAP): https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/page.php?issue_id=35&page=50.

The table has been changed to use the correct chart that CVG printed in their yearbook - https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/page.php?issue_id=1783&page=88 .
