Archer Maclean's Super Dropzone -> Super Dropzone

Archer Maclean (28 January 1962 – 17 December 2022) was a British video game programmer. He was the author of Dropzone which he developed...

I think the programmer name is not a part of this title.

By current No-Intro standards, it is. "David Crane's" "Dan Kitchen's" "Garry Kitchen's" "Sid Meier's" We'd need a decision to change this across the board if we change it here. Maybe with a forum topic for discussion?

I do believe we include it if someone's name is part of the title on the box art/title screen. Doesn't really matter if it is the star/endorser of the game (Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, Ivon 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off-Road) or the lead developer/designer/creator as in the above examples.

If anything a recent example would make me prefer to go by the title screen, as "David Crane's A Boy and His Blob" and the Gameboy follow-up lost his name in the Limited Run re-re-release as far as the box and label, at the request of the rights holder, but the title screen was not altered and retains the original title with his name. I think it is more up to those releasing the game than us, and if they included it, so should we.
Btw if there is a forum topic, direct me there. Just tossing in my two cents!
