Abuse was also a text-based computer game for the Atari 8-bit computers written by "Don't Ask Software". The game allowed you to type in insults to your computer and receive insults in return - sort of an "abusive" Eliza. Google apparently finds only one web page about it, so it's not well known but it did exist.
I recall playing a demo version which featured an alternative background story entirely. In this one, the protagonist is not named, but is revealed to be a person involuntarily fused with an advanced battle suit (known only as "The Armor", which also becomes the identity of the protagonist) and sent to battle hordes of rogue combat androids known as "Ants". Does anyone know anything about this? --Mickel 00:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I recall playing a full version with the same elements, altough I think the protagonist has been named in it. The Ants were supposed to be some kind of extraterrestial lifeform.--The Fifth Horseman 10:40, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- The plot was changed a little bit between the first shareware versions and the retail version. I don't have the original SW version's files at hand to check exactly what the differences are though, but if I recall correctly, originally the Ants were extraterrestrials and the hero is just a mind-blanked killer; in the retail version, the Ants are mutants and the hero is a prisoner. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 07:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Abuse box art.jpg
Image:Abuse box art.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Bungie
Didn't Bungie actually port the game to the Macintosh, not just publish the Macintosh version? --DocumentN (talk) 08:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
