Talk:Battle City

message: I know many variations. If I remember that right, when 35 levels are completed, then levels repeat except with the tank pattern which was in 35th level. (4 power tanks followed by 6 strike tanks followed by 10 armored tanks) When 35th level ais completed again (70th level), the game would go back to 1st level with everything. --Artman40 17:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

message: In Russia yes, Tank A/B/.. 1990 was popular, along with Battle city. What's the need to mention this? Yes, Tanchiki is what this particular tank game is called, and all its variations. But it fits into the statement that it was popular where chinese clones were distributed. Every country could call a game differently, but that doesn't make any information about the clones.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.190.50.217 (talk) 11:22, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:The Dungeon Revealed

message: According to The Internet Archive:
On November 27, 2006, the Librarian of Congress, on the recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, announced six classes of works which will not be subject to the prohibition against circumventing access controls (the DMCA) through October 27, 2009. One of these six classes includes: 
“computer programs and video games distributed in formats that have become obsolete and that require the original media or hardware as a condition of access, when circumvention is accomplished for the purpose of preservation or archival reproduction of published digital works by a library or archive. A format shall be considered obsolete if the machine or system necessary to render perceptible a work stored in that format is no longer manufactured or is no longer reasonably available in the commercial marketplace.” 
Looks like The Dungeon of Doom may be saved for posterity after all. —204.42.19.35 03:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Composer

message: This article should probably be more ambiguous with gender in regard to the protagonist, to reflect the ambiguity sounding Mach Rider. 
There seems to be a pretty good case that Mach Rider is intended to be a girl. Considering the woman who appears beside the 'Mach Rider' bike in VS Mach Rider for the arcade, the implication being that this is actually the Mach Rider undressed - in the same vein as Metroid's Samus. Furthermore they were made by the same internal Nintendo development team, so they have a established trend of surprising female protagonists, and also called Samus a male multiple times in Metroid's game manual.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.215.34.214 (talk) 16:28, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: I have not gone through the edit history, but the odds are that it was a "drive-by" dispute tagging by someone who has never edited the article other than adding the template,and has never edited on the talk page. I'd say check the data against the website, and if everything matches, then either add an inline reference to the Fairplex website to the second paragraph with most of the statistics (or better yet, the webpage on the Fairplex website with most of the statistics), or add a <ref> link and a Reference section. Then delete the not verified template. BlankVerse 06:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. I did a bit of rewriting after I found that quite a bit of the earlier article read as though copied and pasted from back pages of the Fairplex website. I'm guessing my rewrite is sufficiently different in its phrasing to avoid any accusations of copyvio (though it might still read in part like an advertisement.) Somebody might want to check on that, though. Whyaduck 13:50, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: One reason for that is it that from an examination on the articles edit history, and a look at some of the IPs, it looks like people from Fariplex have been editing this article. BlankVerse 09:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Then I suggest this one either become a redirect, or deleted entirely, after all links are corrected to the correct page (i.e. Arcticfox). — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:05, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

text: The point of the "19% alcohol" is to illustrate Infocom's humorous irony. There's still a lot of unencyclopedic "game guide" content that needs to be removed from Wikipedia; let's not add more. Ntsimp (talk) 19:37, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

text: The information does not only have "value to people actually playing the game."  It would likely be of primary value to such people, but many people are interested in Infocom games generally, and would find this info relevant and of interest irrespective of whether they were actually playing the game (this one of the relatively few Infocom games I have never played).

Talk:The Colour of Magic (video game)

message: This is a call to arms to make the Terry Pratchett article a Featured Article. It will greatly help the cause if all the side articles that link from it are of a reasonable standard. Terry Pratchett has around 40 side articles (ie the ones relating to his work) - I don't think they are all expected to be GA (Good Article) standard for TP to become featured, but certain basic elements will be looked at for sure. 
A full list of the sub articles is here on the TP talk page: I'm posting this comment on the talk pages of each article on the list. Editors reading may also like to help with the TP article too? 
The main issue, especially with smaller articles, is often a finding reasonable amount of citations, and prose can sometimes be a little  POV too. Coverage of the topic is probably less important, but of course it needs to be reasonably good. --Matt Lewis (talk) 15:23, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Deadly Towers

message: I did a little bit of cleanup, making this more encyclopedic. I guess I have only a few concerns, now:
1. I think "gameplay" should be expanded. Does the whole game consist of walking around and throwing swords underhanded? That may be the case, but we should be a bit more specific.
2. Secret levels. The previous version said something about how the hidden doors can trap you in dungeon mazes "nearly impossible to escape" that have monsters the player cannot reasonably defeat. I took that out because they're points of view, but I felt bad because it could be relevant if the secret level difficulty is massively disproportionate to the rest of the game. Can someone who has played the game quantify the secret levels' toughness? 
3. Also, the previous version wrote that the sword-throw looks like our hero is "shooting from his dick." I was mightily tempted to say that the main character "threw swords, unpleasantly, from his midsection," or something like that. Could someone who has played the game describe the sword animation? Actually, for that matter, we ought to confirm if its relevant. If we can find independent sources ridiculing it (sounds like Seanbaby would count as one, but other?), I say we describe it flatly and cite the ridicule.
4. As the concern below notes, it sounds like the game had critical flaws. Obviously, Wikipedia isn't a pillory for bad games, but if this one is notable for being a widely-recognized abomination, due "credit" should be given for its efforts. Cherry Cotton (talk) 20:25, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
