Talk:Assault Plus

The screen shot here is of Assault, not Assault Plus. The colors of the player's tank and all enemy tanks were changed to a more cartoonish feel, versus Assault's realistic coloring. Nit pick, I know, but a fresh screen shot wouldd be nice. -Mr.Logic 14:01, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Export Info

"This game is for use exclusively in Japan. The sale, export, use or operation of this game outside of Japan may be a violation of international copyright, trademark and/or other related laws subjecting the violator to legal penalties."

There appears to be some disagreement over including export information with this game. I'm strongly in favor it it being there - if at least because more information generally makes an article stronger. It's also very notable in that it explains the rarity of the game outside of Japan. Now, if you disagree, let's talk with some reasoned arguments rather than go revert happy. -Mr.Logic 16:11, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is a weak argument. Every arcade game manufactured for Japan, or for any other region at that, has this message. It is a common copyright message. Even if the game is later manufactured for release in teh united states, the japanese version of the ROM files will still say that. ITs a standard copyright message and not indicative of being a japanese exclusive game. Why dont I just add it to every single computer and video game article ever made? Every game has copyright messages like this. How about books and movies too?

Not every game has copyright messages like this! What about Berabow Man and Bakutotsu Kijuutei? These were only released in Japan, but they don't have any messages like these at power-on.

THe user who added it, Gingerfield rocks has had a long history of making immaterial, edits that wind up being reverted, which he applies to 30 articles simultaneously. I will await your response before I revert it. If needed I will get more people involved on this discussion--larsinio (poke)^(prod) 16:30, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly seems odd, at best, to mention – let alone to quote – a standard copyright message. I'd have said that it should be removed from this (and any other) article. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:38, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gingerfield's response

He posted this in my talk page:

Legal notices are relevant to the Namco articles. The articles are not just about the game's context, they're about the games and all their contexts. Please don't remove legal notices. And when you're going to make a change like this to a bunch of articles, please try to make a note before you go and do it. Gingerfield rocks 08:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, gingerfield has failed to explain at all why a standard copyright notice shoudl be included. --larsinio (poke)^(prod) 13:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That would be stating the obvious. Naturally, all commercial software will have copyright notices and operation of use messages in place - I feel we have more important aspects of games to document than this. ~ Vic Vipr 14:13, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
