Hey there! Thanks for working on Apple II game articles. :) I have started a number of them recently, if you have anything more to help build them: Winged Samurai, Air Traffic Controller, Global War, Three Mile Island, North Atlantic Convoy Raider, Milestones, Sumer, Torpedo Fire, Mission Escape!. BOZ ( talk) 03:32, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
I know you have done a bunch of work on early 80s games, and in particular I see that you have spent some time on Big Five Software and its games. I just started stubs for a couple of contemporary companies, Instant Software and Med Systems Software if you want to have a look at those and if there is anything you would want to do with them! BOZ ( talk) 04:53, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
I'm definitely going to return to this topic in the near future. Meanwhile, are you able to find anything, source-wise, for any of the following games from that era?: Action & Bumping Games, Adventure in Time, Air Traffic Controller (1978 video game), Airmail Pilot, Android Nim, Ants!!!, Apocalypse: The Game of Nuclear Devastation, Atlantic Balloon Crossing, and Attack Force (video game) BOZ ( talk) 11:43, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
OK! As promised, I am ready to revisit this topic. I have been working on adding all the reviews from The Space Gamer to various tabletop games. Starting in 1980, I estimate that about 15-20% of their reviews are for video games, and I have gotten through 1982 so far. I have had the opportunity to create articles on early games from major companies such as Global War (Muse); Slag, Project Omega, Stone of Sisyphys, and Missile Attack (Adventure International); The Warp Factor, Torpedo Fire, and The Shattered Alliance (SSI); Mission Escape! (CE Software/Startly); Computer Acquire, Conflict 2500, and Empire of the Overmind (Avalon Hill); Dragon's Eye, Jabbertalky, and Sorcerer of Siva (Automated Simulations/Epyx); Empire I: World Builders (Edu-Ware); and Theseus and the Minotaur (TSR), as well as many other games that I know you have already seen. :)
As you saw when I started this thread, I also created the articles for Instant Software and Med Systems Software, in both cases because I had already started several articles for games based on the TSG reviews, and because there were already existing articles for games from those companies. There are a number of companies that have one, two, or three games on my TSG list (Acorn Software, Synergistic Solar, Level-10, Cornsoft Group, and others), so I may look further into some of those later to see if it is worth creating articles for those companies as well, or I may wait until I make more progress on the reviews to see if there are more games for them.
The publisher I have seen most often on the TSG articles is probably The Software Exchange. However, searching on the internet it is hard to find much information on them. It was not even clear to me that they are a publisher in the traditional sense. I count 7 articles I created which list them as publisher, so I would like to create an article for TSE next.
Another one I have created several articles for is Creative Computing. That was a magazine that apparently also published some games as well. I am wondering if we should create a "Games" section for that article? I was not 100% sure that they were one in the same until I saw the cover for Air Traffic Controller and realized that it has the same typeface as the magazine did. Other game articles I created with CC as the publisher are Space Games-3, Space and Sport Games, Super Invasion / Spacewar, Milestones, and Action & Bumping Games, and who knows how many others there may be. BOZ ( talk) 19:49, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
I just started an article for the RapidFire line by SSI, in case you want to take a look at that one and see what you can add. I had also started The Shattered Alliance, Torpedo Fire, and The Warp Factor by SSI recently (and not-as-old Renegade: The Battle for Jacob's Star as well). BOZ ( talk) 21:41, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
I tried making an article for Klondike Adventure [1], which is apparently a 1982 release by SoftSide's "Adventure of the Month Club", but the article was redirected to SoftSide before long. However, that article does not mention anything about an "Adventure of the Month Club" or the game Klondike Adventure (or, for that matter, Windsloe Mansion which I started at the same time under the same circumstances) so I am a bit mystified. Do you know of any sources that could be used to restore Klondike, and then improve Klondike and Windsloe, and if possible to get something on the Club in the SoftSide article? BOZ ( talk) 16:37, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
I started a few more today, in case you are interested in any of these!: Galactic Adventures, PC Arcade, Reign of the Red Dragon. BOZ ( talk) 13:05, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
I just started Wings Out of Shadow, this one looked like it has some potential! BOZ ( talk) 21:50, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
Do you see any useful sources that could be added to Space Battle or Time Trek? BOZ ( talk) 21:02, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Thanks! :) I also started Avalon Hill games Jupiter Mission 1999 and Space Cowboy today if you are interested in those. BOZ ( talk) 15:43, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
Hey man, although I have said it before plenty of times, first of all I want to say a huge thank you for everything you have done on the articles I started, and everything else you have done in general for old school video games. :) Rather than keep bugging you about this game or that game, I am going to just leave you to work on what you want to your heart's content. I have compiled a list of what I have seen so far from Space Gamer's reviews into this user page: User:BOZ/SGVG. I created between half and 2/3 of those pages, and added notes about the review to the already-existing articles. You can work on any of them as much as you want, and you can stop whenever you want and come back whenever you want. I will continue to update this user page whenever I have added new reviews, although I only have maybe a dozen issues or so to go through. You will continue to see my "thanks" whenever you add something to an article that I created. :) BOZ ( talk) 03:23, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
I lied! ;) I split out Roadwar Europa today. BOZ ( talk) 18:24, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
In case you are interested in those, I started articles on video games based on Fighting Fantasy gamebooks: Seas of Blood, Rebel Planet, and Temple of Terror. BOZ ( talk) 15:25, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi! Hope you are doing well. :) I started Planetoids (video game) today if you have anything for that one. Just to let you know, I have been working my way through "Next Generation" magazine and expect to finish that in roughly a month, at which point I am going through Computer Gaming World starting back in the early 80s so that will be fun. :) BOZ ( talk) 19:19, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
I didn't start this one, but you might be interested in Stellar Crusade? BOZ ( talk) 16:57, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
OK! In case your watchlist did not already light up, I got started on CGW today. :) I am all done with Next Generation as a project as of late April, so my next new big project will be Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Reference library/Computer Gaming World. I will let you know about any new articles I create, in case you have any interest in adding to them; for today, that would be Mind Thrust and Reversal. BOZ ( talk) 17:37, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
A few new game articles today, and that will probably be all from me for the week: Star Blazer (video game), Guadalcanal Campaign (video game), Galactic Gladiators, The Road to Gettysburg, The Demon's Forge, Battle Trek. BOZ ( talk) 18:47, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
I'm back at it this week and next week, but will probably (mostly or entirely) take a week off the following week. :) Today, I started these: PlatterMania, Monster Maze, Millionaire: The Stock Market Simulation, Championship Blackjack, Microbe: The Anatomical Adventure, Call to Arms (1982 video game), Super Taxman 2, Battle for Normandy (video game). BOZ ( talk) 19:22, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
Jumping around just a little, today I started The Third Courier. :) BOZ ( talk) 00:29, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
Back at it today with CGW! :) Today, I started Grey Seas, Grey Skies, Fall Gelb: The Fall of France, Ringside Seat, Tournament Golf, Professional Tour Golf, Geopolitique 1990, Starbowl Football. BOZ ( talk) 20:36, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
Should be a fun week, if I don't pass out from the heat. :) Today, I started: Panzer-Jagd, After Pearl, Dreadnoughts (1984 video game), Breakthrough in the Ardennes. BOZ ( talk) 18:00, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
Yep, like I figured, definitely a lighter week this week - just three new ones today: Operation Market Garden (video game), The Railroad Works, Six-Gun Shootout. BOZ ( talk) 17:43, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
Big day today! I started Battle Group (video game), Mech Brigade, Battle of the Atlantic: The Ocean Lifeline, Golf's Best: St. Andrews - The Home of Golf, Hole-In-One Golf (1986 video game), Countdown to Shutdown, Clash of Wills, Adventures in Flesh, The Black Death, and I was able to get Make Millions restored after AFD. :) BOZ ( talk) 19:06, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
Several new ones today, focusing mostly on baseball and sailboats!: Pro Manager, Pure-Stat Baseball, Baseball Fanatic, The Official America's Cup Sailing Simulation, Dolphin Sailing System. BOZ ( talk) 18:35, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Several new ones today: Shiloh: Grant's Trial in the West, Ralph Bosson's High Seas, Darkhorn: Realm of the Warlords, Inside Trader: The Authentic Stock Trading Game, BlackJack Academy. BOZ ( talk) 19:35, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
In case your watchlist has not been lighting up lately with my edits for you to figure it out, I will let you know that while I am on an extended break from working on CGW, I have been going back through my CGW-related creations and going through archive.org to find additional reviews and articles to make sure that I can prove as many of these meet the GNG as I can, and also to find sources that can be used to build the articles. :) The very good bright side is that somewhere around 90% of them so far have at least met the GNG if not better, and I am sure I will find more for most of the rest of those! After that, I am planning to go though the Reference Library pages I created and finding all the redlinked games, and then seeing which ones of those also meet the GNG to make a list of potential future articles! After that, I think I will resume working on CGW, so that will probably be sometime in February or March, possibly April. :) BOZ ( talk) 23:50, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey hey, I'm back at it starting this week. :) Today, I started Quest Adventure. BOZ ( talk) 02:34, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey there! :) I don't know if you have anything for these video game related books, but a while ago I started The Captain 80 Book of BASIC Adventures and Atari Games & Recreations, and brought back the redirected The King's Quest Companion. BOZ ( talk) 15:13, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Dgpop, you are one of the few other Wikipedians that I ever see using the 'thank' button. Whenever I get this, I am compelled to acknowledge this, by searching out such a user's history and collaboratin'. Guess what, your user page shows that you started the article for my first ever word processor that got me writing back in fifth grade. I got Cut & Paste on my first computer, Atari 800xl, solely to write a little book about Nintendo to enter a child talent search contest. I didn't win but my family did get a NES for Christmas as a result of me going along with the contest. I had never looked up that app until now, so I'm glad to be able to learn and contribute about it. Thank you so much for being kewl. You can always email me or come to IRC if you wanna do more. I know you have done things with Apple II history, which I'm also all about because my second computer is a IIgs. Check out the thing I submitted about a super excellent source of 8-bit computer reviews.
— Smuckola (talk) 05:29, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Cut & Paste is one of those fun oddities. Who would have expected productivity software from EA? I love adding articles for things like that, when I can find them. I thought I knew all of the old computer magazines, but Computer Entertainer is new to me--checking it out. Have a good day! Dgpop ( talk) 00:37, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for editing Albert Vaguet! Poydoo ( talk) 12:24, 19 September 2019 (UTC) |
any suggestions to improve that article? Smlck19 ( talk) 02:33, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
Hey there! Thanks for moving my screenshot to a better place on the page. I'm awful at inserting images in Wikipedia articles, I seem to never do it correctly. I'm planning on doing a bit of work on that page, as well as some related technology pages like Intel 8080 and other older computers, where additions/sources etc are needed. Also, trying to make some wikipedia editor friends who are interested in the same things so I can bounce ideas/etc off of them :) Do you own a TI-99/4A? I got one over xmas last year and have played about with it quite a lot! MrAureliusR Talk! 03:46, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
I just learned that you removed a DP review from Kangaroo (video game). What's wrong with it? 172.250.44.165 ( talk) 21:57, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Hey Dgpop! I just figured I'd discuss your recent edit to Roblox. Could you explain why you did what you did? I was tempted to revert it because I think "PC" is meant to include both Windows and macOS, however PC is technically not a platform itself so I decided to discuss it with you instead. ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 01:16, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Sure. In the infobox, "PC" is not one of the Platform(s), but it was listed under "Release". I changed the latter to Windows, because "PC" is often misinterpreted. If the macOS version has the same release date, then it should be "Windows, macOS". Dgpop ( talk) 17:49, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
I have a naughty gift for such a good kid. Just what you always wanted, a crusty ol dead tree! It's real, it's real! I saw that you had removed its unverifiability so I went to WP:LIBRARY to search my subscription setup, fail, and then place a request from someone who has a superior institutional subscription to EBSCO somehow. This article is a good source for several articles about the companies, machines, and games. — Smuckola (talk) 03:53, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning the wording of the Bucs-Saints rivalry look much better. Also, if there can do to make the wording better let me know. One last thing, as for why it came off as awkward, I do have a neurological disorder and hopefully, it explains why the wording came off as awkward. That still hasn't stopped me from doing research and contributing to this great website. DerpderpX ( talk) 15:46, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
I now have understood this concept @ Dgpop! Thank you for your help. Utku Öziz ( talk) 09:11, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Hey, I say your edit at Gunstar Heroes, and I just wanted to let you know that at first introduction in an article, Sega Genesis should be written out in full. That is the proper name of the console. Dreamcast is just Dreamcast, Game Gear is Game Gear, but Sega Genesis is Sega Genesis. Same for Nintendo Switch. TarkusAB talk/ contrib 05:42, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
Hey! I don't understand this edit. Both variants seem to point to the same thing, the new versions seems to only be longer and has no Rcats. What impact does this link update have? Regards, IceWelder [ ✉] 16:52, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi Dgpop! Thanks for doing some copy-editing. I posted a comment on the talk page about the release date of Star Raiders. It is a complicated issue, so any suggestions or comments could help us come to some sort of solution. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 21:25, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
I agree with your recent removal as well as the fact some of it is unsourced anyway. Iggy ( Swan) ( Contribs) 20:53, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Thanks. I was trying to address the 2018 "too long" template, so I chopped out the strategy guide and mathematical games about some of the theoretical minimum scores. Dgpop ( talk) 20:59, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
I saw that you added a template to the Andy Summers article about the lede being too short. Can you show me an article with a lede that you consider well done? Thanks.~ Vmavanti ( talk) 20:26, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
Here's one: Neil Peart. The Summers overview says he was in The Police, but (for example) doesn't mention that he's a founding member, played on all their albums, composed music, and won several Grammy Awards. It doesn't give an overall picture of his accomplishments and strengths. (To be fair, there are quite a few popular musician articles in the same boat.) Dgpop ( talk) 21:24, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

In case your watchlist has not been lighting up lately with my edits for you to figure it out, I will let you know that while I am on an extended break from working on CGW, I have been going back through my CGW-related creations and going through archive.org to find additional reviews and articles to make sure that I can prove as many of these meet the GNG as I can, and also to find sources that can be used to build the articles. :) The very good bright side is that somewhere around 90% of them so far have at least met the GNG if not better, and I am sure I will find more for most of the rest of those! After that, I am planning to go though the Reference Library pages I created and finding all the redlinked games, and then seeing which ones of those also meet the GNG to make a list of potential future articles! After that, I think I will resume working on CGW, so that will probably be sometime in February or March, possibly April. :) BOZ ( talk) 23:50, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey hey, I'm back at it starting this week. :) Today, I started Quest Adventure. BOZ ( talk) 02:34, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey there! :) I don't know if you have anything for these video game related books, but a while ago I started The Captain 80 Book of BASIC Adventures and Atari Games & Recreations, and brought back the redirected The King's Quest Companion. BOZ ( talk) 15:13, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Dgpop, you are one of the few other Wikipedians that I ever see using the 'thank' button. Whenever I get this, I am compelled to acknowledge this, by searching out such a user's history and collaboratin'. Guess what, your user page shows that you started the article for my first ever word processor that got me writing back in fifth grade. I got Cut & Paste on my first computer, Atari 800xl, solely to write a little book about Nintendo to enter a child talent search contest. I didn't win but my family did get a NES for Christmas as a result of me going along with the contest. I had never looked up that app until now, so I'm glad to be able to learn and contribute about it. Thank you so much for being kewl. You can always email me or come to IRC if you wanna do more. I know you have done things with Apple II history, which I'm also all about because my second computer is a IIgs. Check out the thing I submitted about a super excellent source of 8-bit computer reviews.

Cut & Paste is one of those fun oddities. Who would have expected productivity software from EA? I love adding articles for things like that, when I can find them. I thought I knew all of the old computer magazines, but Computer Entertainer is new to me--checking it out. Have a good day! Dgpop ( talk) 00:37, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for editing Albert Vaguet! Poydoo ( talk) 12:24, 19 September 2019 (UTC) |
any suggestions to improve that article? Smlck19 ( talk) 02:33, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
Hey there! Thanks for moving my screenshot to a better place on the page. I'm awful at inserting images in Wikipedia articles, I seem to never do it correctly. I'm planning on doing a bit of work on that page, as well as some related technology pages like Intel 8080 and other older computers, where additions/sources etc are needed. Also, trying to make some wikipedia editor friends who are interested in the same things so I can bounce ideas/etc off of them :) Do you own a TI-99/4A? I got one over xmas last year and have played about with it quite a lot! MrAureliusR Talk! 03:46, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Hey Dgpop! I just figured I'd discuss your recent edit to Roblox. Could you explain why you did what you did? I was tempted to revert it because I think "PC" is meant to include both Windows and macOS, however PC is technically not a platform itself so I decided to discuss it with you instead. ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 01:16, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Sure. In the infobox, "PC" is not one of the Platform(s), but it was listed under "Release". I changed the latter to Windows, because "PC" is often misinterpreted. If the macOS version has the same release date, then it should be "Windows, macOS". Dgpop ( talk) 17:49, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
I have a naughty gift for such a good kid. Just what you always wanted, a crusty ol dead tree! It's real, it's real! I saw that you had removed its unverifiability so I went to WP:LIBRARY to search my subscription setup, fail, and then place a request from someone who has a superior institutional subscription to EBSCO somehow. This article is a good source for several articles about the companies, machines, and games. — Smuckola (talk) 03:53, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning the wording of the Bucs-Saints rivalry look much better. Also, if there can do to make the wording better let me know. One last thing, as for why it came off as awkward, I do have a neurological disorder and hopefully, it explains why the wording came off as awkward. That still hasn't stopped me from doing research and contributing to this great website. DerpderpX ( talk) 15:46, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
I now have understood this concept @ Dgpop! Thank you for your help. Utku Öziz ( talk) 09:11, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Hey, I say your edit at Gunstar Heroes, and I just wanted to let you know that at first introduction in an article, Sega Genesis should be written out in full. That is the proper name of the console. Dreamcast is just Dreamcast, Game Gear is Game Gear, but Sega Genesis is Sega Genesis. Same for Nintendo Switch. TarkusAB talk/ contrib 05:42, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
Hey! I don't understand this edit. Both variants seem to point to the same thing, the new versions seems to only be longer and has no Rcats. What impact does this link update have? Regards, IceWelder [ ✉] 16:52, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
With regard to this edit: If this development kit indeed has nothing to do with homebrew development, shouldn't you move that info out of the section "homebrew development"? Martin IIIa ( talk) 14:42, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Dgpop! Thanks for doing some copy-editing. I posted a comment on the talk page about the release date of Star Raiders. It is a complicated issue, so any suggestions or comments could help us come to some sort of solution. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 21:25, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
I agree with your recent removal as well as the fact some of it is unsourced anyway. Iggy ( Swan) ( Contribs) 20:53, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Thanks. I was trying to address the 2018 "too long" template, so I chopped out the strategy guide and mathematical games about some of the theoretical minimum scores. Dgpop ( talk) 20:59, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
I saw that you added a template to the Andy Summers article about the lede being too short. Can you show me an article with a lede that you consider well done? Thanks.~ Vmavanti ( talk) 20:26, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
Here's one: Neil Peart. The Summers overview says he was in The Police, but (for example) doesn't mention that he's a founding member, played on all their albums, composed music, and won several Grammy Awards. It doesn't give an overall picture of his accomplishments and strengths. (To be fair, there are quite a few popular musician articles in the same boat.) Dgpop ( talk) 21:24, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
