[edit] All games listed?

I could swear I played a Wilie Coyote/Roadrunner game on the power pad, I can't tell you much because I rented it from blockbuster back when you only got to keep it like one night. Karisuestokes (talk) 05:48, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Video Game Screen Shots

[edit] All Games listed now

I just went through and listed all the games released for the Power Pad, although not all of them have articles about them, I still hope that they will eventually have a full article written about each, and that this will be a quick reference list rather then someone moving all the game articles to one page. For Screen Shots and box art I suggest anyone who has the item take a picture of the cartridge or box and submit it as Cover art, but keep it under 100kb and in JPEG format. For a screen and for a screen shot I suggest if you wish to add one go to Video Game Museum and, or contribute the game screen shot there before posting it on Wikipedia, and then fill in the game info as below remembering to put the double { before and after this on the Licensing section of image upload, and to fill in the Article name, and lastly deleting the asterisk;

Non-free use rationale

  • |Article=
  • |Description=Screen Shot
  • |Source=http://www.vgmuseum.com

  • |Purpose=show game in progress
  • |Replaceability=none other available
  • |other_information=Image is used according to their policy;

Can I use your images on my website?

Yes, you can use the images, as long as you give credit to the website where you found them.



This will keep Wikipedia free from user uploaded Emulation pics that many people would seem to feel that Wikipedia was supporting Emulation. I feel that if we have screen shots here we should get them from another source and add them here with a reference to where they came from outside of Wikipedia, rather then making our own screen shots using emulation or whatever and them being posted by the Wikipedia users. I think this will help us out as well as Video Game Museum as long as we only use one or two of the images and try to make sure its not reproducing all of their images, so people can still go there to find more images of the game or box art, ect. It will hopefully keep Wikipedia lawyers from getting a headache, and still enable people to see and share information without illegal emulation ROMS being considered something that was used here for and encouraged by Wikipedia.
