[edit] Where could you get it
I am just curious, where could you get the game? --Pevarnj 20:34, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- It was a commercially available game. So, generally, any computer game store. I note that it generally was skipped over by the gaming community. Lots of full-page ads, no reviews. I didn't have too many problems finding a copy, but the lack of reviews probably led to a fair number of stores not ordering it at all. Rindis 20:47, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- If you cannot find a copy of the game, and resort to downloading it (which, legally speaking, you shouldn't), be sure to get a full, unstripped version. The game comes on two CDs, both of which have a few audio tracks with remixed versions of some music from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version. Nice stuff. You could always try Ebay or something similar.--Drat (Talk) 03:52, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion?
I seem to remember someone making an unofficial expansion / bug fix for this game. Does anyone have any idea how to find it? CallMeDave4 (AT) gmail --82.41.14.207 10:25, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JeffWayne'sWOTWgamebox.jpg
Image:JeffWayne'sWOTWgamebox.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] Compatability
I've just altered a paragraph in the 'impact' subsection just to highlight some of JW'sWOTW compatability issues with Windows XP. I apologise if a couple of the phrases seem like weasel words and if there's information to the contrary that I've not been made aware of. As far as I know this is accurate (in regards to the Dosbox compatability and/or patch). But please feel free to post here if I've missed something or made a mistake.

Ok, someone just did while I was writing that^^. What was the problem? (Bobbo9000 (talk) 01:59, 25 March 2008 (UTC))
- It's a windows game. How does DOSbox even enter into it? Besides, without reliable sources (which forums, IRC, etc. are definately not), it's original research. I know there's no sources as it is (and I started the article years ago, so I'm just as guilty in many places), but that doesn't excuse more unsourced info.--Drat (Talk) 02:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Gibberish
There's a line in the article, under the small image, which reads: ""Jeff Wayne" version handling-machine, and it while playing is similar." Does anyone have a clue what this means? -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 17:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
