I just remembered that I played this awful game as a kid! Note to the Backloggd staff, this is not a port, but a distinctly different game from the console and PC variants and should be listed as such.

EDIT: I've been informed that I can take matters into my own hands. Time to do my part so everyone knows that this shitty FotR game is totally different from that other shitty FotR game.

EDIT 2: My plea was rejected!

I was linked to their guidelines on ports: "A port can be a re-release of a game, or a completely separate game entirely. There are two main scenarios: At launch: This is often the case for games releasing across many different platforms (Home console and Handheld) where it is marketed as the same game but really can be completely different (engine, graphics, player perspective, companies involved..)"; the second is post-launch (e.g. Switch, VR etc.) which is not relevant here.

How silly is that? How can a game, which they acknowledge is a completely different game to its console counterparts, be considered a port?

The game is listed as a port here because it's listed as a port on IGDB, which anyone can submit edits to.
Like the other commenter said, you may have to make these changes yourself on the database.
Ah cool, thanks for letting me know! I'll do that at some point.
I've made the change, it's awaiting confirmation :)

You tried. IGDB has some weird rules. The cover art requirements are where I usually struggle a bit.
