Summary

[edit]
Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description Footage of screen scrolling in the video game Surround officially released in 1977 for the Atari 2600
Author or
copyright owner
Atari
Source (WP:NFCC#4) Footage of playing the game emulated on the Atari 50 compilation on the Nintendo Switch. Video footage and gameplay are made myself
Date of publication 1977
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Surround (video game)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) This video is created to illustrate the gameplay. With Atari's very primitive graphics, it is not clear what is happening from a simple still image. Combined with the text, it is more obvious to a reader now what it means that a "wall trails behind them", how points are scored, and how gameplay would be like.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Not replaceable with
textual coverage because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Text is limiting where video can illustrate several gameplay elements (how the player moves, the nature of the game, the scoring, etc.)
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) This animated gif will be used in the Surround article in the gameplay section to showcase the same playthrough of the game
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The use of a low-resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
Other information The footage is captured by myself, cropped, and edited from fuller gameplay footage.
