This page just looks like a massive advert for VBS1.

Actually, it appears that the original listing here was done by product fan who is non-native english speaking. That is not out of the ordinary compared with many other fan edited game entries, and I think it's safe to say that like with any other product, it's open for summary description - perhaps provided by the PR people, along with subsequent pros and cons, community information, and references in harmony with the standard Wikipedia video game page.

Well it's just summary of facts and at moment of compile there wasn't enough "eye delicious" material for write up. I updated history section, customers and links with more precise, correct and detailed informations. I'm not sure if VBS1/VBS2 falls into "video game" category as it's better compare it to simulations (ie NASA space shuttle training simulator). ~Dwarden~

Indeed. VBS1 is not exactly a 'video game'. For a while it wasn't even available on the commercial market. It's actually a sophisticated training tool, and doesn't exactly fit into the category of 'fun'. It would (and does) have a very limited appeal to the game market because it's very realistic, to say nothing of prohibitively expensive. Sigma-6 16:29, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Not true Sigma, it is commercially available in Australia, at a massive cost of $300 AUD.
Hmm. Yes, true. Note that I said: "For a while it wasn't even available". What about what I said wasn't true, exactly? I have a copy myself. I'd certainly have a hard time backing up a claim that it wasn't available, given that fact. I'd also call $300 for the core program and the somewhere near $800 for the combined modules prohibitively expensive. That's a lot for a commercial user to pay for a 'video game' that isn't even fun.
