[edit] Updating the Infobox

Before I touch it, anyone object to updating the Infobox to use Template:Infobox Arcade Game? eXonyte 15:06, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

None at all. It's using the old one we used before we had the template. — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:14, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Consider it done. :) eXonyte 20:43, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trying to find game

I'm trying to find a game from my childhood. Does anyone know if this, or more likely one of it's sequels had you fly over a backdrop of a nazca condor? -- Paul Arzul 2006-02-02 21:00 (UTC)

The best place to ask would be at the Killer List of Videogames (the actual site, not the article). — Frecklefoot | Talk 00:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Space Megaforce made heavy use of Nazca line motif in it's backgrounds, so that might be the one you're thinking of. -JArcane --66.220.99.10 04:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "revived through a MAME ROM"

The article says that "Raiden is ... revived through a MAME ROM and can run on a variety of modern systems, including PCs." It's true that MAME can emulate the game, but in order to play it legally you still need the original arcade pcbs (which are easily purchased from, for example, ebay). Alternatively you can use various home computer/console versions to play it. I'd mention those rather than the currently mentioned more difficult and legally grey way to play the game. Any comments? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.112.42.61 (talk • contribs)

I know this has come up before, but I can't remember what the consensus was. We could just mention that it's probably illegal in most areas to use MAME ROMs w/o owning the PCBs. Other than that, we're not in the role of telling people what to do. That crosses the line of NPOV. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 13:17, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Raiden Trad

I have a SNES cartridge "Raiden Trad". Is it not in this article because it is fake, or do I have a newer/older version of one of these, just with a different name? (It is a really fun game, so I don't think it is fake...)
