[edit] Opinion and Bias

I would just like to point out that there is a large amount of implied personal opinion and slight bias in this article, particularly in the Gameplay, Presentation, and Conclusion sections. (Example: "Gameplay closely resembles the much better known sidescrolling battlefields, towns and dungeons in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link." "Much better known" by who? Why so much comparison to Zelda II?) My primary objective in amending this article will be to crop out this excess so the information provided will have a more neutral basis. --Joshfist 15:35, 2005 August 2 (UTC)

[edit] Latin?

Original text:

It may also be a combination of the Latin words "fax" (false) and "xanadu" (paradise).

I cannot track down fax as a Latin word for false, it actually means a torch or fire in Latin. I will delete it as unverifiable for now. Gaius Cornelius 19:51, 25 October 2005 (UTC).

Good eye. Joshfist 13:24, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

This is just a guess, but isn't "Faux" Latin for "False", or something similar? I think that could be what they meant. -- Thunderbird

I used to play this game when I was six or seven years old. First action/RPG game I've ever played. I still have the game somewhere. Too bad my NES doesn't work ='( Malmsteen Maiden 06:46, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] copyright 1988 in european (scandinavian) booklet

The inlet has the text "TM & C 1988 Hudson Soft Under License From Falcom Licensed to Nintendo."

Unfortunately I can't remember when I bought the game, but I think that coincides with the 1990 european release. Not sure if that means anything, but it's at least an interesting tidbit. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.226.202.245 (talk) 17:29, 23 January 2007 (UTC). 83.226.202.245 17:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)Raphael Korsoski
