Reusing game name

Hi there,

I have recently discovered the name I was going to give my game has already been taken.

Unfortunately I found that this name has already been used in 2001 by some company for some Nintendo's Gameboy Color game. The game is not even listed on that company's website probably because it's not considered relevant anymore.

I have verified that this name hasn't been trademarked in USA or UK which is good for me, but I'm still not sure if there's going to be any problems if I release the game with the same name.

I've emailed that company about that but got no response.

Also, is that of any importance that the game would not be any kind of competing product (different release platforms)?

Thanks in advance for any hints.
