[edit] Gameplay screenshot

Is it possible to use a screenshot taken during actual gameplay? A picture of the title screen doesn't give the reader much of a 'feel' for the game. --ChicXulub 00:53, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

How's that? ;-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 02:05, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] "Retro" genre?

What's the true genre of this game? I'm not convinced that "retro" is a genre as such, and in any case it should really only apply to new games made in a classic style, rather than old games. (Did the Beatles make "retro" music?) 217.155.20.163 13:45, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't think "retro" is correct either, since when this game was made, it certainly wasn't retro. A remake made today could be considered retro, but not the original. Some sort of action/strategy seems appropriate. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 13:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Colecovision

They don't list this game on the Colecovision platform, but it definitely was. I know, because I developed and wrote the instruction manual for this game and many other Colecovision and ADAM games. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.22.123.218 (talk) 20:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

It's fine that you worked on these games and have personal recollection, but all information (preferably) must be verifiable. Which means, we have to have a source that readers can refer to in order to verify the information presented. Some sources are better than others, but someone somewhere must have the information before we can present it as fact in the article. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 13:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Google is your friend, folks (took me less time to do the search than to write this blurb)--Rehcsif 05:32, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
This is moot anyway, the article does list ColecoVision as a platform. D. Brodale 06:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I see that. I just tire of folks who scream "CITATION NEEDED!" when one is available via a 30-second google search (not coming down on Frecklefoot only, I see this an awful lot...) --Rehcsif 23:47, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
