replies: text: The colors have changed in the past few days, yes, but you have altered the width, making the infobox look very cramped. I am reverting the infobox to the original one posted on this page, since the current one is not what I voted for. --Poiuyt Man talk 03:50, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

text: Well, obviously not all infoboxes in different topics have the same types of information, so they have to differ. However, I wouldn't mind if we actually just used the VG infobox, and added some optional fields that arcade games need. --Poiuyt Man talk 18:16, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

message: The info box VG changes every day, here this is one of a few days ago, I have adapted them for Arcade. The left one is completely from me. I find both well only the old middle one is bad, very largely and not uniform. As a rule in addition no entry should own more than 3 lines, except Notes. Is this OK? Mr.Do! 02:37, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I made a minor change to the Pac-Man and Altered Beast info-boxes by changing the image from a thumb to a 225 px image. This is the standard way of displaying album covers for album infoboxes and I think it looks better.  However, if you disagree then please feel free to revert my changes.  I also created an infobox for Space Invaders. --ChicXulub 17:13, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks good, BTW maybe we need a list of all articles with infoboxes(or is there a list somewhere?), as long as not all arcade games have one and they dont use a template. --Tjansen 18:01, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the infobox you are using forces the font to 10px. This is a very bad thing to do because it overrides browser font sizes and makes the text difficult or impossible to read for those of us with poor eyesight. 
Personally, I think it looks fine without any font size modification, but if you must, "{font-size: smaller;}" should set it off from the rest of the text without rendering it unreadable to some.
Also, using "font-family: verdana" may make the article font render differently from the infobox. I would suggest removing or altering that as well.

:Uhm, this is the point at which not using templates for infoboxes really hurts. --Tjansen 10:41, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Could the text for the z80 be changed to Z80, please?  It would look neater, and save some space too. --StuartBrady 22:35, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
