Notes
The pinned copy is the item's OCR text (not the scan PDF); page locators come from the item's page images. The same issue is also `computer-entertainer-1988-02`, a Wayback capture of the Atari Compendium's image scan with no text layer, so its quotes can't be checked against a text; this record pins the Internet Archive's OCR of another scan, as `computer-entertainer-6-10` does beside `computer-entertainer-1988-01`.
