Talk:Thunder Force IV

message: Added a brief description of the game' soundtrack, as it was felt needed due to the games excellent music.
:While the music IS good, I think a little more is needed than 'notable'. Why it's notable would be better. Spottedowl 15:46, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Although the PAL version does indeed have a country lock out which can be bypassed it is not optimized for 50hz.
Thus running the 50hz version at 60hz will not show more slowdown than a regular (JAP or US) 60hz version of the game.
Witnessed this personally as I own both a JAP and EURO version of the game.

message: How is it only possibly misspelled? The word is spelled lightning, so obviously lightening is a misspelling. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.216.115.149 (talk) 05:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Well, the mispelling depends on the context. "Lightening" is a proper word, an extension of "lighten", but I doubt that's what they had in mind. Kelvingreen 13:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lightening POSSIBLY misspelled? 

message: That's an odd phrase, and I don't know what it means. Harizotoh9 (talk) 06:51, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It means the game is ported and not emulated. TarkusABtalk 11:47, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

text: Actually it could be an emulated saturn release. Will wait for further information. TarkusABtalk 23:14, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  "natively ported form" 

message: The article links to a lot of magazine pdfs, as well as the instruction manual. These are all still copyrighted materials correct? Would this count as a copyright violation? I'm not familliar with retrocdn.net, but it doesn't look like any official kind of archive project with permission from the publishers. That would go for archive.org as well. They upload entire romsets, and other material that is obviously copy-righted, so we shouldn't assume that just because it's on archive.org that it's okay to link to it. Is there some exception that I'm not aware of? Harizotoh9 (talk) 10:23, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not familiar with the copyright violation rules, but it's being used as a source and I believe it's very useful to have the link there so people can check the source. TarkusABtalk 10:45, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Copyright and external links are covered in WP:ELNEVER and WP:COPYLINK. It would be okay if the publishers themselves uploaded it and made it freely available online.  As far as I can tell, these magazines still under copyright, and the sites are user upload sites where anyone can upload anything. It is convenient, but there's no convenience exception that I'm aware of. Now in practice, no one cares about 30 year old magazines. And some of the might even be in copyright limbo, where they are copyrighted, but no one actually owns the rights anymore. But WP rules seem pretty clear on this.

thread_title:  Magazine pdfs 

message: I see this article cites the online page of Retro gamer. The Print Magazine did a full retrospective on the series, with some emphasis on IV in issue 103. The print version of Retrogamer is a bit more in depth than the online version, but it costs money to subscribe to. The publisher page lists the issues and what they cover. Link.
