[edit] Batch file text adventure games
The original Privateer, and Righteous Fire both included files that began with the words "tab". Examination of these files shows that they are in fact ".bat" files and that their name is simply reversed in their placement for the install.
The storyline in the adventures is completely unrelated to the Privateer story line, as such they are best classified as "Easter Eggs".
Just in case anyone was wondering... --Puellanivis 22:37, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Remakes
After trying out all of the projects listed in the 'remakes' section, I can conclude that all of them are nowhere near the quality/playability level of the original. Be it a choppy/garbled intro movie, scenes on bases drawn in a small 640x480 rectangle instead of fullscreen, horribly pixelated cockpit, very unsteady and exagerated (joystick-like) controls which make aiming really hard, or remapping the original keyboard controls... The article doesn't state what the status of these remakes is, but from the above it is clear that they're currently only rough approximations and can not yet act as "better" replacements.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Privateercover.jpg
Image:Privateercover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
