  • Please, can someone who reads german put a translation to Bundes...Medien in parentheses ? Fbergo 15:24, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Does anyone have a good reference for the increased popularity of River Raid in Germany due to it being rated for adults only? --Ben 15:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • A note for trivia -- the River Raid "refueling" sound effect was used in the science-fiction series Babylon V as the doorbell/hail sound. Drove me crazy. -- RJK
  • I would like to see a note about "how it works". I mean: how such a small game has infinite levels (bridges)- or it hasn´t ?
* I added a note in the trivia section. The terrain is dynamically generated during gameplay by algorithmic means. It can't quite be infinite since it runs on finite-state machines, but the repeating period is on the order of 2^16 = 65536 bridges. (Not cited since I can't remember where I read that, but it was by a programmer that disassembled the 6502 assembly code.)
  • Someone put something on the page about how the C64 version is different than the Atari version??? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.251.229.141 (talk) 04:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
    • You can do that, actually. Just go to the article page, click on "Edit this page", and edit away. JYolkowski // talk 19:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Does anyone have a link to the original German text in the "German controversy" section? The translation given in the article seems kind of stilted to me. JYolkowski // talk 19:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
