message: No citation is given for it having notably good graphics at the time, and there were earlier adventure games with better graphics that no particular fuss was made over. None of the reviews in the reception section mention its graphics. The citation for it being considered a cult classic does not provide support for this - it simply states that it is available for free on gog and that one reviewer remembers it fondly, despite having forgotten about it until the gog announcement.
Are there better citations for these claims, or should they be removed? 222.152.197.94 (talk) 00:05, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

message: The article mentions that the game is similar to Sonic the Hedgehog, but then goes on listing the differences. I think it should be removed because I see no similarities.
If you wanna compare it to anything I think it looks more like Super Mario, with the turtles/Koopa's.

thread_title: Like Sonic

message: In the release chronology section, the last CD-ROM release is stated to be for Windows 95. Judging by the platforms listed at the top of the article, the other CD-ROM releases are for DOS, yes? I believe this should be noted by someone who can verify it.
Also, it is unclear in the article whether the last CD-ROM release (the one for Windows 95) does or does not remove the easter egg from the earlier CD-ROM release of the original game.
Finally, is the last CD-ROM release "included" in a physical sense (i.e., bundled) in versions of Jazz Jackrabbit 2, or are the files simply on the JJ2 CD? Perhaps some more details would be helpful here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.14.72.95 (talk) 03:36, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Bee-eaters in Britain

message: I oppose the proposed merger for two reasons:
*Both the European Bee-eater and Blue-cheeked Bee-eater have ranges in which Britain is no more than peripheral. Merging sections of this article into the species' pages would give disproportionate weight to a single (and, in this context, exceedingly minor) locality.
*The current article discusses something that would be lost by separating sections to different pages, namely the occurrence  in Britain of bee-eaters in general.
