[edit] Only recent games decribed

This articles describes recent games only. We need to add older games. Netrat_msk (talk) 16:11, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

Cyrius XIII, would you explain what's wrong with this article? I believe it is just as neutral and verifiable as cult film article. The only problem I see is there's no universally accepted definition of cult video games, but this is also true for cult films. Netrat_msk (talk) 19:30, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Sims

Please don't add The Sims games to the article. The Sims is a mainstream hit, and certainly not a cult game. You won't add Titanic to Cult films, would you? Netrat_msk (talk) 19:30, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] References

This article has not references. I would like to add some, but don't know where to find a relable source. For most of the games I have mentioned in this article, their Wikipedia pages describe them either as "cult games", "cult classic" or "despite critical acclim, this game had limited commercial success". Does this count? Netrat_msk (talk) 09:02, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd say that if it is branded as such in the wikipedia article, we can just take it from there. Any reference is then the responsibility of that article.

The problem that's kind of occurred with this article is that it's not something that's really much covered in the media. It is undeniable that this is an excisting phenomenon however. GameLegend (talk) 10:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
