• Could someone please look at James Bond As Seen In Octopussy and assess the notability of this title? The article's author takes pains to assert through edits that it was released for the Atari 2600, though there doesn't appear to be supporting evidence. Is it a known unreleased prototype, a rumor, or something else? D. Brodale (talk) 05:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Its a known unreleased prototype. According to atariprotos.com, it was seen at several trade shows but never released. A proto box for the game is the only part of it that's been found. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 22:50, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

In that case, it sounds as though nothing about the game could be reliably verified. At the least, it doesn't seem to be the game linked to from the article's EL section. Is there any hope of this being a useful encyclopedia entry? D. Brodale (talk) 23:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

• Could someone please look at Avalanche (infobox) and verify that Kaboom!, Popcorn, and The Sky is Falling are licensed ports of this arcade game, and not clones or video games with similar gameplay? The claim is repeated, but unsourced, within the Kaboom! article. D. Brodale (talk) 04:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

No, none of those are licensed ports, they're all clones. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 22:46, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

If no one beats me to it, I'll adjust the language in the appropriate articles when I find time. D. Brodale (talk) 23:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Please, contribute to article: Jetboy (Jetpac port). When I put info on Jetpac page - was deleted. When I put in new article - it is marked "To deleto". It see as someone dont like Atari ports of other game and want delete every info from wikipedia.--Sikor soft (talk) 19:52, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but modern homebrew clones are against the video game project guidelines. And unless its certifiably notable to justify its own page (such as Pac-Man (Atari 2600)), they usually are just included on the game's main page. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 20:00, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
