Summary
[edit]Description | Screenshot of the game Temple of Apshai for the TRS-80 computer by Automated Simulations (later Epyx). |
---|---|
Author or copyright owner |
Automated Simulations / Epyx |
Source (WP:NFCC#4) | Screenshot taken from the game |
Date of publication | 1979 |
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Temple of Apshai |
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | Illustrates the gameplay and screen composition of the original version of the game. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the game, being a non-interactive screenshot. |
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Any other screenshot would also be non-free. It is not possible to get Epyx' permission because the company does not exist anymore. |
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Being one of the first graphical RPGs for home use, visual aid is essential in understanding the game's place in the history of computer game graphics. Furthermore, conveying the screen composition through text, while not impossible, is highly impractical and would excessively bloat the prose. |
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The image is intended to be only used in this article. It is necessary to display it along a screenshot of a later version, to demonstrate the huge difference of the still very abstract graphics. The used resolution is the lowest resolution that makes it possible to preserve both the original aspect ratio and pixel graphics, which are essential in conveying a historically accurate representation. |
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
Being a single, non-interactive screenshot from an interactive game, it is only a tiny excerpt of the work that does not compete with the commercial purposes of the game. |
