Talk:Skool Daze

message: Has the (World of Spectrum) download linked to in the article really been verified as "legal" or is it just "grey-area legal" like most online tapes?  Some speccy games have been "released" by their copyright holders and are therefore legal but I didn't think Skool Daze was one of them.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Skooldaze1.jpg

message: In the Punishments section, it says:
"It's possible for the player to knock down Mr Wacker whenever he gets close and thus continue playing for a theoretically infinite amount of time after reaching 10000 lines, although it would be nearly impossible to achieve any game objectives in this condition."
You can't knock Mr Wacker down while he's running after you, but you can knock him down while he's delivering the Game Over message. However, that ability doesn't make it possible to continue playing for an infinite amount of time after reaching 10000 lines. I wonder whether the original author of these lines was confusing Skool Daze with Back to Skool, where it is possible to knock Mr Wacker over when he's running after you, scoot past him before he has a chance to get up and deliver the Game Over message, and therefore prolong the "chase" (and the game) indefinitely.
Then:
"It's also possible for Mr Wacker to be knocked down by another character while delivering the Game Over message, in which case the message pauses until he recovers; this could potentially lead to a loop, but this is exceptionally rare."
What kind of "loop" was the author referring to?

message: I don't want to start an edit war over something as trivial as the spelling of a character's name; however, I've had my spelling correction reverted so that we're now left again with the incorrect "Boy Wander" as the name for one of the characters. The correct name is "Boy Wonder". This is certainly the case on the Commodore 64 version. Can anyone else confirm that this is also the case on other formats? Here's a link to a screen grab from the C64 version of the game.

As you can see, the uppercase As appearing on this page look nothing like the second letter in the last part of the name of the character.
He's also called "Boy Wonder" in the reboot version of the game on Steam "Reskooled". Mandurahmike (talk) 13:18, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
