"The poem Annabel Lee can be read while playing the victim in Berenice."

[edit]

This is untrue. It is a different poem. Can someone correct it? I cant think of the exact title.

The poem Annabel Lee can be listened to (narrated by Burroughs) in the waking world. A poem from the Iliad can be read in the Tell Tale Heart. Not sure about anything that can be read in Berenice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.18.207 (talk) 02:52, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't necessary. It wasnt an offical site by any means.

unconventional interface

[edit]

What is meant by this? The descriptions sounds just like any 90s era point and click adventure game interface. --NEMT 05:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The 'unconventional' interface is the use of examining and object by 'rubbing' it with the mouse.

Fair use rationale for Image:Thedarkeyeboxcover.jpg

[edit]

Image:Thedarkeyeboxcover.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 insure 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.

This doesn't belong to that series.--Paleface Jack (talk) 23:17, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Citation and Expansion

[edit]

Thjis article is poorly developed and sourced and needs significant attention. Much of its information is unsourced and either needs to be removed or given proper citations if a reliable source cannot be found. The article is also missing important information on the game's reception which also needs to be added to the article. This article is VERY interesting and it would be amazing if someone came along and gave this article a much needed clean-up and expansion so that it fully reaches its potential.--Paleface Jack (talk) 23:16, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ScummVM compatibility

[edit]

The game was twice added to Category:ScummVM-supported games, yet both times it was removed due to this claim being unsourced. While I am honestly unsure of how to add a citation regarding a category to the article, I can at least provide one here.

The game was first announced as being compatible on ScummVM's official website back in December 14 of 2023 along with other games programmed with Macromedia Director. The official announcement for the release of version 2.8.0 of ScummVM also lists the game as now being compatible. Its entry in the site's official compatibility document and its entry on the project's official wiki both also clearly state the game as being compatible, and the information provided in both confirm that this is the game referenced, as opposed to a different game with the same title.

All of this evidence overwhelmingly points to the category being correct; is there any argument against its inclusion? 2800:2161:5000:1609:55A3:2CD2:EB9E:809F (talk) 20:54, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2800:2161:5000:1609:55A3:2CD2:EB9E:809F: - Per WP:CATVER, the subject of a category should be discussed & sourced in the body of an article. The announcement listing it would be a decent source, though a secondary source (like coverage from gaming news like IGN or something) would be better, as a primary source doesn't really show that this is notable even if true. I don't feel strongly about this as long as it's sourced - a sentence saying that it is compatible with ScummVM would work under development or a 'legacy' section. Wikis are an unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source and should not be used. Waxworker (talk) 11:11, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have also questioned the notability of both the category and the list of games within the ScummVM article. At most, it would be notable when the project allowed an older title to be sold for modern systems through digital stores like GOG.com, as was the case, for example, with Blade Runner. But that's a separate topic of discussion.
For now, I will include it because it's appropriate. Also, while I will not use the wiki as a source, I will note that it doesn't fall under WP:USERGENERATED as, despite being a wiki, it does not allow users to freely sign up and is exclusively maintained by the leads of the project. 2800:2161:5000:1609:550:3714:8B7E:4CB6 (talk) 14:07, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
