In non-AGA (Amiga 600, 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000, and CDTV), 64 colours means that the second half of the palette (32) would be half-brightness versions of the first 32 colours. I have a feeling that "half-brite" mode was used rarely in games, although it is of course quite possible that Team 17 used it in SuperFrog and/or some of their other games, being a bunch of very ambitious people. --

From the article:
The Superfrog sound track can be found if you look. if interesed, ask
user:Gabrielsimon for a copy, its public domain.
Wikipedia is not a cheat/code database. They are readily available on lots of sites, for examples
here,
here or
here. The first site is linked in the article.

Wikipedia is not a guide to how to play a game or how to cheat at a game. Its intention is to give a broad overview of the game. If you have questions about what sort of content is suitable for a computer and video game related article please look at
WikiProject Computer and video games. Guides, cheats, etc are for Wikipedia's sister-project
Wikibooks. More specifically see
Wikibooks computer and video games bookshelf.

i see no problem adding these codes here, because if you wish to experiance the whole thing, and you find something hard to get past, its nice to be able to keep going.

If removal of non-encyclopedic information is censorship, then should we allow every spot-faced teenager to write an article about how k3wl sk1llZ they have in Quake XXVII? I tend to agree with
User:Startaq here. But I still think we should add a link to the cheat codes, instead of the codes themselves.

Assessment request
I am not granting any assessment further than Start for the moment. There are no
reliable sources at all (the four in-line citations appear strongly dubious). Please try to source the article's facts and find reliable sources discussing its notability, and I'm sure this will be C-Class worthy in no time. :) Salvidrim!01:29, 16 February 2012 (UTC)reply
I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing that. I can add more sources, but what's more reliable as a source of information about a game than a fansite about it, links to game summaries, and reviews? Reviews are going to show bias, a fan site is a good source of information but will obviously have a slant, and game summaries - as written by the developers - will trying to be sell the product. I don't mean to be difficult, but what sort of source am I meant to add which isn't dubious?

Have you given a good read to our page about
reliable sources? A list of those specifically about video games already deemed reliable through discussion is also available at
WP:VG/S. Reviews by reliable sites are excellent for estabilishing a game's notability, but not always best for fact-checking (though generally passable). Fansites are a big no-no, both for notability (for obvious reasons) and for fact-checking (as per all user- or fan-generated content with no expert editorial oversight). Game summaries written by the game's staff and that appear official in some way are excellent for fact-checking (gameplay elements, credits, plot, release information), but do not establish notability. For development information, the best sources are often interviews with the game's staff. A good start is to conduct a custom Google search in our established reliable sources;
the results look substantial. :) Salvidrim!14:01, 12 March 2012 (UTC)reply
