I find the article's original implication that single player games were "dying under the weight of the multiplayer revolution" more than odd.no more ≈
The following are examples of top-selling games, by year: 2003 April 2002 2000
Single player games appear to be going strong. Though I've played neither, I've found that the most exciting and hyped releases of this year are Doom 3, and Half Life 2.
And that's without consideration for how many single-player games are played online (flash, or otherwise). I don't have statistics for this, but as for a complete guess, I'd say that for every hour an madly obsessed, 8 hours a day gamer (or typical gamer) spends on a store-bought 1+ CD, complex multi- or single-player game, there are likley 10 hours that have been spent by many, many 'regular folk' mucking around with free flash games.

I think it would be more informal. - Sylph 23:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

According to the article,
This sounds rather odd, as the term implies that only one person can play. Personally, I've never heard this definition, either. As a result, I'm adding {{fact}} to the article. -- VGF11 00:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Two-player games appeared with the first personal computers
This is not correct, Tennis for Two was already a Two-player game and didn't use a personal computer. -- MrBurns ( talk) 09:44, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Someone made a section about this before, but it looks like nobody replied, so I’m making this section.
Why is this article titled Single-player video game, whilst articles such as Platform game, Action game, Shooter game, etc. don’t include the “video” part?
I think that we should move this article to “Single-player game,” as the “video” part isn’t really necessary.

In the lead, the Frozen Bubble screenshot should be replaced with File:Tetris basic game.gif.
