general policy is to use the year of original release there, rather than the year of the revision / hack. (so if you search the output of the MAME XML you can see games that were released in year x, rather than seeing a game span multiple years)

there's definitely an argument for the alternative tho.

Ah I see, then the same thing for my punisherbz report, right?

I didn't know about this policy. Mystery solved :-)

There's many such unofficial policies that aren't documented anywhere (ex. "the three-year rule"), you'll do well to mentally make a note of them as you run across them. :-)
