Update game list for games with same name

I have noticed games series that use the same name twice (usually due to reboots) causes the game list to get confused and delete one of them in favour of the other. For example Sonic The Hedgehog and Sonic the hedgehog (2006) Same title but only the original shows on the game list not the 2006 version. I have noticed this with other games too, both games should be able to be on the list simultaneously. Another ways this is my idea :D

    Overgrowth (2017) gets overriden no matter what by Overgrowth (2018)
    Night Watch (2005) gets overriden no matter what by Night Watch (2020)

    In both cases it's a completely different game by a different developer.
    And in both cases there's no workaround to select the correct category.
    I think attaching the release year to it's name would fix this issue for all.

    Some other examples of this are; Tomb Raider and King's Quest

    A great idea. Each game deserves its own directory page. For games like this, you could just have in the directory Sonic The Hedgehog (1991) and Sonic The Hedgehog (2006)
