Talk:Spy vs. Spy (1984 video game)

message: === Merge proposal (8-bit computer and 8-bit console versions) ===
(This 2006 discussion was for the proposed merge of articles for the 8-bit console and 8-bit computer versions of the game. The merge went ahead in early 2006. For the proposal to merge Spy vs. Spy (2005 video game) into Spy vs. Spy (1984 video game), see below.)
I oppose the merge.  These seem to be 2 distinct games. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.140.46.8 (talk • contribs) .
:They are indeed the same basic game.  The articles should be merged.  JavaKid
::Maybe there should be just one page covering the entire series. The video game does look to be a port from the small amount of research I have put in, however. Miguel Cervantes 02:06, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Support merge proposal. What is the difference? There are often minor variations in conversions; these do not normally justify a separate article. It seems merely unfortunate oversight that two separate articles were created in the first place. Fourohfour 01:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Comment; it's unclear which proposed merge the above comment refers to- by the time it was made in late 2008, the older two articles (for the 8-bit console and 8-bit computer versions) had already been merged. Ubcule (talk) 16:14, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

text: Note; I moved your comment under a new heading, as the discussion it was originally placed under related to a different (much older) merge proposal that was carried out 7 years ago. Ubcule (talk) 16:14, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge with Spy vs. Spy

message: I oppose the merge. As seen by this video (2005 version): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct7DJhmx7cw  and the atari version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBJn3SHfDyY they are two completely different games.--Ultrachaos547 (talk) 23:09, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I seem to remember some comments in some magazine somewhere (likely Nintendo-lehti) that Spy vs. Spy NES version was largely not available in Finland because someone had bought the entire shipment. An interesting trivia bit if true; wonder if we can find a source for this... --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unavailable in Finland 

message: The game was released on different media formats for different platforms. For example, it was released on cassette for many of the home computers.
