"said to be pronounced"? -Branddobbe 17:22, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tetris clones getting too much hype

Lets face it, this is another Tetris clone, and some of the things it does have already been done by several freeware tetris games. I really do not understand what all the fuss is about.


This isn't discussion about the game, only discussion on the article.--Yomoska 07:49, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lumines -- meaning?

What does Lumines mean? 86.134.81.144 10:52, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

And does it have anything to do with Lumine from Mega Man X8? --Damian Yerrick 03:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)


Lumines is Latin; it is the nominative and accusative plural of Lumen - meaning light (hence, Lumines mean "lights"). Therefore it is not only homophonic to "luminous", but is in fact a word in its own right. I'm going to go ahead and add this information to the main section.

[edit] Why was the list of clones deleted?

For example, Minesweeper has a list of clones. This article had one too, but A Link to the Past deleted it: "These links aren't all that relevant." Why is that? (I went back and reverted the change.) --Damian Yerrick 16:43, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of clones

This is not really the place for game reviews (ie, "known to have inaccurate sweeping" - known by whom? and when?), I am removing the parenthetical statements attached to them as NPOV. The list is too large already (the subject of the article is "Lumines", not "Lumines clones"), and Wikipedia is not a link repositiory. RobLinwood 01:45, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Skins

[edit] PSP homebrew

Since the exploit, people tend to buy Lumines just to downgrade their psp on version 3.50 in my opinon.

Now is it pretty hard to buy the game in stores such as EB games this time of the year due to out of stock. --Johndoe789 17:07, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

And what does this have to do with the article? ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 18:28, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sales Increase due to Exploit

I edited the line that said "a 5900% sales increase" to say "5900% increase in the sales rank" because the sales didn't actually go up 5900%.... It moved up from 59th to #1 (or something comparable).... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.136.215.85 (talk) 04:36, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
