Thanks a lot! But....do you mean:

1) [www.generation-msx.nl] (different year, but same title?)
2) [www.generation-msx.nl]
3) [www.generation-msx.nl]
4) [www.generation-msx.nl]

The other two seem to be really new indeed.

1) that page is muddled. The Japanese title you see there is Yoshida Koumuten and the screenshot is from Yoshida Koumuten I think but the English title is Yoshida Kensetsu. That's a completely different program and seems to be consistent with the other data on that page. There are three such titles (sequels) which might be confusing: Yoshida Koumuten is the first, the second is Yoshida Kensetsu and the third is Yoshida Konzern.
2) No, I didn't mean the disk version. There is also a ROM version for this game.
3) Apparantly that title was listed under its Romaji name (didn't see that one). I would use the english name since there are more in that series and those have the English name.
4) Yeah it's the same game, but a version published by Pack-in-video (japanese release)

1) Judging from those 4 entries it is necessary to change Yoshida Kensetsu Company to Yoshida Koumuten. The Japanese title is correct. the "in program" screen shot is correct for Yoshida Koumuten. The year should be changed to 1988.
2) evidence is in that wikipedia page for its existence and being in another year then the disk version. Existance evidence is also on tagoo: [msx.jpn.org]
4) yeah you're right. I overlooked the fourth one. Must have looked just to the developer column. Sorry.

7) yeah that's it. Weird that that title didn't come up when using the search option.
8) yeah that one. With the query I made yesterday only 1 and 3 appeared.
9) judging from the title that one should be the game I was referring to, but the link crashes and when I searched for the japanese title it didn't appear.

Extra entry:
1990
Developer: Kouji Aoki
Publisher: MSX Magazine
Japanese title: -
English title: Final Potential
Medium: Disk
Price:
Genre: Shooting game
Made with Yoshida Koumuten editor.
Screenshots attached.

I think I processed all of this (please correct me if I'm wrong), except for the ROM version of The Golf. I'm really interested to see some picture of that... I know Tagoo and Wikipedia list it, but nothing else is known about it, seemingly...

Regarding the The Golf rom version, I have searched for more evidence:
It's also listed on these two links as having a rom version:
[www.geocities.co.jp]
www.geocities.jp/pasofami77/game/MSX_list.xls‎

But the most compelling evidence is this video (which I think is from the rom version):
[www.youtube.com]

It directly shows the title screen instead of showing the load sequence with a picture on it, like the disk version has and after which it asks you to enter the user disk.
Then further up in the game if you follow the same choises as that person makes you see at around 0.43 when he pays 20 dollars for a caddy and then leaves the store that you instantly see a splash screen with some picture on it. In the disk version of the game you get a message asking you to enter the system disk at that point. Also the picture appears a bit faster if i'm not mistaken on the video.

Hopefully this gives further credence to the rom version.

The other new entries and corrections for the 1988 games are indeed all processed. The ones for 1989 haven't all been looked at but no rush. I really appreciate all the work you guys put in to Generation MSX.
