[edit] "BBC computer game"

Given the wide range of platforms other than, and more popular than, the BBC for which this game is available, would it not be smart to rename this article? ThomasHarte 15:31, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

If the BBC bit is to stay, it should be changed to BBC Micro computer game to avoid confusion with the British Broadcasting Corporation - admittedly they are from the same root, but the Corporation had nothing to do with the game - Anon.

I agree, this article needs to be renamed. It's confusing at the moment, especially because (as mentioned above) people might think it has something to do with the British Broadcasting Corporation. Zagrebo 13:33, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Further to this, can I suggest "Exile (arcade adventure)"? - Zagrebo 18:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I've gone ahead and moved the page as there seemed to be a general consensus. - ThomasHarte 15:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cross-posting to GIDb

The Game Innovation Database doesn't have an entry about Exile. Were there any true innovations, or did it just seem like it to an Acorn Electron user? Ste 14:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Not sure there were any absolute innovations as such, but it was very much state-of-the-art in 8-bit gaming, if not the absolute pinnacle. It was the combination of physics, alien intelligence, huge map, digitised speech, impressive graphics and sound effects, smooth scrolling, and a very natural-seeming open-ended playing environment without arbitary puzzles. And the accompanying novella helped give it atmosphere (as well as containing hints to various puzzles, such as feeding grubs to the imps). --KJBracey 22:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
