[edit] BASIC

A listing of the BASIC from Ant Attack is (temporarily) available at http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pak21/spectrum/antattack.txt. Cheers --Pak21 11:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Sandy White himself confirms that it is a mixture of BASIC and machine code, on his website [1]. --Oscarthecat 13:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:3d ant attack cover art.jpg

Image:3d ant attack cover 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 Wikipedia articles 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.

If there is other 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 05:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] low priority?!?!?!!?!?

why the hell is this article on low priority status? this game is one of the first 3d video games ever created, probably the first fully 3d game with complete freedom of movement, and also the first 3d game that has a moveable camera, this shows the ridiculous United States bias that permeates much of wikipedia, just because people from the US haven't heard of it means it must be unimportant? this article gets no attention, whilst a two dimentional plumber who jumps over gaps in a game THAT CAME OUT TWO YEARS AFTER THIS gets reams of information about how amazingly innovative and original it is —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.98.193 (talk) 03:49, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 3D Ant Attack

I forgot to mention this at the time; the article was originally at 3D Ant Attack, and on 29 December 2006 I moved it to its current location, "Ant Attack". Although a lot of early 3D and mock-3D games had "3D" in the name, Ant Attack was not one of them, as per the inlay card, the tape cassette, the loading screen, and in the game, in both ZX Spectrum and Commodore C64 versions. -Ashley Pomeroy 15:35, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

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.
