thread_title: disambiguation page needed

message: Time Traveler has less content than this article and I believe this title is more accurate.
that link you gave links to the disambiguation page for time traveler, and I wrote another article for this same game (you can check the history) and I think this one is more detailed and specific.

message: I am having trouble reproducing the cube trader bug on my DVD copy of Time Traveler. The bug commentary in the article wasn't written by myself initially but by another contributor. The original explanation focused on the ability to buy more reversal cubes than intended. Originally I thought this was true, as I did notice something odd when playing this segment in the game. However after playing it today I don't see the game allowing you to buy more cubes. The bug is actually something very different: the game's level select menu screen's change showing random level progress that's not indicative of how far you really got that game session. 
The bug is achieved by playing the trader's sequence up the point where the "you cannot buy more, come back later" clip plays. Once you are returned to the main menu, the trader option is still available. If you select it again, the trader's video clips won't play, but instead change the level select screen to a different one. Pressing the trader option many times will cycle through several menus showing various degrees of game completion.
It's easy to get confused as the game does not show at any moment how many cubes you have accumulated over time. Every time a player goes to the trader's sequence they get two cubes. Every time the level select menu is shown the player can get two more cubes.
For the time being I will replace the original bug explanation with the updated one. If anyone can confirm the original bug, let me know.Onoff456 (talk) 03:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Per WP:LEAD this is too long (for an article this long it should be max 3 parags) and contains a lot of detail that should really be in the article body.
:Looking at your previous edits makes me think you took this rule to heart. I do see the good intention behind it. I think the drafts segmented the article too much. Maybe one or two more, but four is too much. We just have to come up with a simpler segment. What do you think?Oldgraphics (talk) 01:52, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure I understand. I said the Lead should be shorter, not longer. Max 3 paragraphs. The detail should be in the body of the article, not in the Lead. --Dweller (talk) 10:48, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The article says the display is stereoscopic. I'm certain it wasn't. It was just one ordinary monitor in the cabinet. I actually played the game in an arcade. And OF COURSE I put my hand through it!

replies: text: Agreed entirely, also having played it. Not a stereoscopic display, and not a stereoscopic game. Just a weird that appears to make the display float (to some extent) within the usual decoration of an arcade cabinet. ― 64.48.93.0 (talk) 21:15, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I checked every resource I can find, and this thing is absolutely definitely not stereoscopic. That claim appears to have been added by an anonymous user back in 2006, and isn't corroborated anywhere. Indeed it's directly contradicted by a wealth of evidence, including every presentation of the thing on Youtube. So I removed it. — 72.69.70.147 (talk) 02:45, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Augmented reality !? 

message: As of this writing, the article states "The game's action sequences were filmed [...] with forty actors [...]" and provides as source "Demaria, Russell and Wilson, Johnny L., The Illustrated History of Electronic Games. 2002. McGraw Hill Publishing. p. 279." (available at https://archive.org/details/highscoreillustr0000dema/page/278/mode/2up ).
This is a wrong statement. There may be 40 characters, but they are played by a significant lower number of actors. Also see https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162010/fullcredits and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSqqvJlA3QQ . Abdull (talk) 08:49, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
