Many times when I'm adding a compilation I want to link directly to the entry for the original game. Unfortunately, sometimes there's several games with the same name. Here are 3 examples I encountered just today:
And don't even get me started on Star Trek variants. Is there an option to link by Moby ID? If not, can we create an option to link by Moby ID.

I am in agreement. The < moby> tag should have an id field so you can input the exact number and you find yourself to the exact game. Putting a shared game name and specific platform only takes you to the search page instead of the game page. The format should be like this:
< moby game="Lunar Rescue" id="66710">LunarRescue</ moby >
That way you go directly to the 1979 Arcade version of the game instead of getting an ambiguous choices in the search screen.
