message: In the early 80's there was a knock off version of this game for Apple computers where the theme was outer space trading companies (such as Betelgeuse, Ltd. and Antares Trading Co.) rather than hotel chains. Does anyone know anymore about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.137.20 (talk) 19:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the phrase about each game taking only an hour and a quarter. I've played dozens of times with my family, and I don't know about anyone else, but our games have come in anywhere between about sixty minutes and almost three hours. They definitely last longer than an hour and a quarter on average. Propaniac 13:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Most the games I've played with family and friends takes between 40 minutes to an hour (usually 3-4 people).  I don't think I've ever had a game go three hours, even with 7 people. swaq 16:38, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the link to the unpublished GBA version of Acquire was removed. http://www.iwestdev.com/projects/acquire/acquiregba.php
Can anyone explain why this was removed?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.253.35.171 (talk) 16:48, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link removal 

message: I have removed the following link from the article as the site requires registration and I do not think that it complies with WP:EL. -- The Red Pen of Doom 16:12, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it shouldn't be used as an external link, but perhaps the existence of this online version should be mentioned in the article?  It appears that GameTable Online was given the rights to develop the online version of Acquire (in addition to Robo Rally, Axis & Allies, and others), see here. swaq 16:38, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Avalon Hill doesn't really exist any more. They're just a brand under which Habro publishes certain titles. I'm changing the lead accordingly. If anyone has better or more detailed info, please feel free to correct me. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 02:53, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

message: This article is yet another where the rules pamphlet has been transliterated almost in whole into the article.  That is not the intent of the Rules section.  The encyclopedia is not a primary source for game rules.  The rules section describes what is interesting or significant about the gameplay, and what distinguishes it from other similar games.  Particularly, listing numeric quantities or evaluation of plays, positions, or configurations in the game is usually an inappropriate level of detail, and renders the article incorrect when new editions of the game come out with trivial rule changes. There's an appropriate tag on the section; the text needs to shrink considerably, omitting details. Sbalfour (talk) 21:28, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
